Custom Names for Players

[TFlan]

I posted a thread earlier about this and i tried the answer to my question and it didnt work. This is what the guy who answered it for me said to do (sorry i cant remember your name):

p1create

Events -
Player 1 (Red) types chat message containing -name as A substring

Conditions -

Actions -
Player - Set name of Player 1 (Red) to (Substring((entered chat string), 1, 5))



Please tell me what i have wrong here!

hmm, try

Player - Set name of Player 1 (Red) to (Substring((entered chat string), 7, [put some big number here like 50]))

That event you have for player 1? Copy it, and make an event for each player, so any player can use.

Then in your action, instead of player 1, use 'Triggering player'

thats what i have.

i will try what you said darg, brb gonna fix it on map. I will tell you if it works or not....

Ty darg, it worked.

The first number ( in this case 5 ) is that start of the substing and 50 is the end of the substing. So the max characters for a custom name is 50 . you learn something everyday
