[CS:S/CS:GO] Change Player's Name

This is no longer needed. Use SetClientName in SourceMod 1.7.1 or later.

~~Edit: A CS:GO alternative, https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpo...2&postcount=26~~

A stock to successfully rename players in CS:S.

Code:

stock CS_SetClientName(client, const String:name[], bool:silent=false)
{
    decl String:oldname[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
    GetClientName(client, oldname, sizeof(oldname));

    SetClientInfo(client, "name", name);
    SetEntPropString(client, Prop_Data, "m_szNetname", name);

    new Handle:event = CreateEvent("player_changename");

    if (event != INVALID_HANDLE)
    {
        SetEventInt(event, "userid", GetClientUserId(client));
        SetEventString(event, "oldname", oldname);
        SetEventString(event, "newname", name);
        FireEvent(event);
    }

    if (silent)
        return;
    
    new Handle:msg = StartMessageAll("SayText2");

    if (msg != INVALID_HANDLE)
    {
        BfWriteByte(msg, client);
        BfWriteByte(msg, true);
        BfWriteString(msg, "Cstrike_Name_Change");
        BfWriteString(msg, oldname);
        BfWriteString(msg, name);
        EndMessage();
    }
}

Re: [CS:S] Change Player's Name

Very cool. I never expected there to be a prop you could set. It was requested when i made the extension that it be added to sourcemod core. I think that this method is much better than my current one and the one I've been working on for months (and could never figure out why it timed players out after a while...) maybe you should add this to the cstrike include as a stock there. Then make the changes needed for the rename command to make the original sm_rename command work on CS:S.

Re: [CS:S] Change Player's Name

One thing I liked about your extension is that it still allowed clients to use the "name" command, which works with the GUI. I'm not sure if that's still possible to do server-side anymore.

I still consider this useful as I use it to rename players for a variety of reasons. Maybe it could be added to the cstrike include like you said (along with psychonic's tag stocks).

Re: [CS:S] Change Player's Name

Thanks for this!

EDIT: Below is my attempt at trying to add some safety to this (how it's setup it can silently fail, or crash if used improperly).

PHP Code:


		
			
stock bool:SetClientName(client, const String:name[])
{
    // Save the current name.
    decl String:oldname[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
    if(!GetClientName(client, oldname, sizeof(oldname)))
    {
        return false;
    }

    // Change the name.
    SetClientInfo(client, "name", name);
    SetEntPropString(client, Prop_Data, "m_szNetname", name);
    
    // Fire the event.
    new Handle:event = CreateEvent("player_changename");
    if (event != INVALID_HANDLE)
    {
        SetEventInt(event, "userid", GetClientUserId(client));
        SetEventString(event, "oldname", oldname);
        SetEventString(event, "newname", name);
        FireEvent(event);
    
        // Send the usermessage.
        new Handle:msg = StartMessageAll("SayText2");
        if (msg != INVALID_HANDLE)
        {
            BfWriteByte(msg, client);
            BfWriteByte(msg, true);
            BfWriteString(msg, "Cstrike_Name_Change");
            BfWriteString(msg, oldname);
            BfWriteString(msg, name);
            EndMessage();
            return true;
        }
    }
    
    return false;
}

Also keep in mind that this part of code changes the player's name:

Code:

SetClientInfo(client, "name", name);
SetEntPropString(client, Prop_Data, "m_szNetname", name);

and returning false after that (for any reason) would be a bit misleading because the players name will still have changed silently. The rest of the code is cosmetic/notification stuff which shouldn't matter if it fails anyway.

Oh I see. I was under the impression that the Usermessage and event were both required to have the change be propagated to clients :oops:

Re: [CS:S] Change Player's Name

how does one use this? (Sorry I know I am draining) Is it only for use when creating a plugin? I'd love to be able to change some names I hate some of the offensive crap some players join with in CSS

Hi sinblaster,

you could use sm_rename2 command by KyleS (does the job) :

(add the sm_rename2 command to rename people effectively). It does use a different system but I got it to work not so long ago.
