Title: Getting the profile name of the player
Post by: RedHouse on 22 May 2005, 20:19:34

I was wondering the best way to get the profile name of a player, i know its possible to get it cause they have with cti. If you do

Code: [Select]

hint format ["%1", players_unit]
you get, say the unit was me RedHouse, it would return something like "Alpha Black 1 (RedHouse)" which is messy.

How do you get it just to return RedHouse

There isn't even any need to use the format command, since "name" returns a string. So just:

hint (name player)

Would work.

I need to use it with things like "You just gave cash to RedHouse"

hint format["You just gave cash to %1", player]
