The following is a snippet from one of my map mission.sqm files
I used it to name an mplayer who went into a trigger area.

I also use it for Respawn outer warning zones etc
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

class Item42
      {
         position[]={7722.725098,24.001616,4401.855469};
         a=40.000000;
         b=40.000000;
         activationBy="WEST";
         activationType="WEST D";
         age="UNKNOWN";
         text="Lampoff";
         name="Lampoff";
         expActiv="Titletext[format[""%1 \n Shoot the damn light out, its giving our positions away"",name(thisList select 0)],""Plain down""]";
         class Effects
         {
            titleEffect="PLAIN DOWN";
         };
      };

The syntax is as follows:

name soldiername

So you can use it like this, for example:

hint format["%1 has the flag!", (name (flagOwner theFlag))]
