Thread needs a deserving bump. Planning to use this on the server for the 20v20 community matches we play. Its always a bitch getting all 20 players to wear the community tag, so much so that Id given up. This'll make it easy. And our VIP/Assassination mod coder upgraded the mod with this code so it can better display who the VIP is (also a suggestion for kyle's public version). Nice one!

Take this code for example:

PHP Code:

new g_iClanIDs[MAXPLAYERS+1];

public OnClientPutInServer(client)
{
    // Store their current clanid.
    decl String:sClanID[32];
    GetClientInfo(client, "cl_clanid", sClanID, sizeof(sClanID));
    g_iClanIDs[client] = StringToInt(sClanID);
    
    // Change their clan tag.
    SetClientClanTag(client, "SM");
}

public OnClientSettingsChanged(client)
{
    if (IsClientInGame(client))
    {
        // Check if they changed their clanid.
        decl String:sClanID[32];
        GetClientInfo(client, "cl_clanid", sClanID, sizeof(sClanID));
        
        if (g_iClanIDs[client] != StringToInt(sClanID))
        {
            // Save their new clanid for checking again later.
            g_iClanIDs[client] = StringToInt(sClanID);
            
            // Change their clan tag back.
            SetClientClanTag(client, "SM");
        }
    }
} 


If a client changes their clanid to the same id, then it will pass all checks and they will be using their own tag. Using the above code, a client could type cl_clanid 0 twice into console to remove their tag.

What would be the solution to this?

In addition to checking for clanid changes, you could check for tag changes as well (or in place of clanid change check).

I just tried that now and it didn't work either. It seems like when cl_clanid is set to the same value, OnClientSettingsChanged isn't forwarded and their tag will still change.

To make sure that I understand this right it changes the clan tag as shown in the special clan section of the scoreboard?

That is correct.
