Probrem with GetEntDataString and GetEntPropString

[Cuban_Dota]

Hi i am using GetEntDataString and GetEntPropString for retrieving the m_iszPlayerNames property from the CDOTA_PlayerResource. The code is:


new pr = GetPlayerResourceEntity();
new String: name[32];
new name_offset = FindSendPropInfo("CDOTA_PlayerResource", "m_iszPlayerNames");
GetEntDataString(pr, name_offset, name, sizeof(name));
the problem is the string is empty and it shouldnt be.

In the case of GetEntPropString:

GetEntPropString(pr, Prop_Send, "m_iszPlayerNames", name, sizeof(name), 0);

it gives an error that says that m_iszPlayerNames is not a string and it is a string.

Any ideas??

Invoke sm_dump_netprops <file> on server. In dump find your prop and see type. It'll set after prop name.

If you're trying to fetch the client's name, why wouldn't you just use GetClientName?

Cause GetClientName only works when a client is connected and i need to get this info no matter what. This netprop is written when a player enters the game and its never erased no matter if the client disconnects
