Changing Players Nick?

How do I change the players nick using script?

Well if you have an NPC-Server it's a simple case of just making a serverside part set the nickname, like this system example:

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverside)

  setplayerprop #n,#s(clientr.nickname);

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (created||timeout) {

  if (!(strequals(#n,#s(clientr.nickname))) 

    triggeraction x,y,serverside,;

  timeout=0.05;

}

---

If you aren't going to have an NPC-Server it's trickier, but can apparently be done by setting the players chat to "setnick nickname"

Both examples don't work offline though, anyway basically with NPC-Server any serverside NPcs can change players nicknames using setplayerprop #n. Without the same affect can be achieved by setting a players chat to 'setnick nickname'

Yes on non npc server servers you can change stuff by changeing thier chat text. =) Fun fun. just need a system npc and a server string.

LOL. I would venture to say that if (playertouchsme) setplayerprop #n,NICK; is much easier than what you had done, lol. Or Setplayerprop #c,setnick NICK;

The former doesn't work on any servers and the latter looks horrible and unprofessional.

Very true. What Grim had was probably best fitting for the situation.

I was such a menace on doomsday

Yes, but for scripters that don't have a clue what things are, something that is horrible and unprofessional would work better than nothing at all. Why give less advanced scripters items in which they are incapable of editing or understanding? Why not teach rather than hand out? Just a thought, heh.

Well, we decided that looked extremelt unprofessional, but what about this?

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters)

{

  setstring this.chat,#c;

  setplayerprop #c,setnick BBflat;

  setplayerprop #c,#s(this.chat);

}

---

There is probably a problem somewhere in there... It's still unprofessional, but not quite as much.

What's the point when a better system has already been highlighted?

Um. I thought that only worked with NPC Servers though...

I know for a fact that Soul Blade's playerworld is going to have an NPC-Server, though I did point out the alternative in my post.
