        }
} 


Example:

The goal is to change the name "Player" to "Player1d5*_" or "unnamed" to "unnamed-d=d1" ...

So add 4 characters a random way to the name.

god damn bugsy stop writing in alien language...
also, what is %c ?

[HamletEagle]

%c is for characters.

Well, now how do to avoid duplicate names such as "(1)Player"

PHP Code:

new const szNames[][] = 
{
    "(1)%s", // any name ("%s", szName) 
    "(2)",
    "(3)"
}

new const code[] = 
{
    '1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0','a','b','c','d','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o',
    'p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z','-','*','_','(',')','=','+','<','>','@','$','&','[',
    ']','?','{','}'
}
#define GetChar()    code[random(sizeof(code))]

public client_connect( id )
{
    new szName[ 32 ]
    get_user_name( id, szName, charsmax(szName) )

    for(new i;i <sizeof(szNames); i++)
    {
        if( equali(szName, szNames[i] ))
        {
            client_cmd( id , "name ^"%c%c%c%c^"" , GetChar() , GetChar() , GetChar() , GetChar() );
        }
    }
}

No need a cycle.

For clarity, %c is for a single character.

The easiest method, I think, would be to check for the duplicate name before assigning it. If that name already exists, create new one for them.

I had a friend who wrote a plugin to simply change their name to one that is in a preset list. Each time that a name was used, a counter would be incremented so that the next person to get a name forcibly, would get the next in the list. You merely need to make sure that the list of names that you chose from was long enough to not repeat. The list that we used wasn't really all that long because 1) there aren't that many people who join with the default name and 2) they would usually either leave or change their name at some point.

Also, instead of using client_cmd(), you should use set_user_info(id, "name", "new name here"). This will help prevent people from leaving and joining again with that same name which might be a duplicate of someone else that was assigned that name while they were gone.

Use ASCII table and char, and delete constants array, and next use bugsy's code.Like this:

PHP Code:


#define GetChar()    random(47,123)

public client_connect( id ) 
{ 
        new szName[ 32 ]; 
        get_user_name( id , szName , charsmax( szName ) ); 
    
        if( ( contain( szName , "Player" ) != -1 ) || ( contain( szName , "unname" ) != -1 ) || ( contain( szName , "emply" ) != -1 ) )
        client_cmd( id , "name ^"%s%c%c%c%c^"" , szName , GetChar() , GetChar() , GetChar() , GetChar() );
} 


Like this, and you dont need to declare constant array at the top.

I like the approach, though minimal improvement since it is only eliminating the array which isn't a heavy lift to begin with. Plus, you are not giving him the exact chars he specified, though I'm not sure if it matters or not to the OP. You could exclude a set of chars using a bit-sum or something, but then it's easier to just use the array.

'$' = 36
'&' = 38
''' = 39
'(' = 40
')' = 41
'*' = 42
'+' = 43
'-' = 45
'0' = 48
'9' = 57
'<' = 60
'=' = 61
'>' = 62
'?' = 63
'@' = 64
'[' = 91
']' = 93
'_' = 95
'a-z' = 97-122
'{' = 123
'}' = 125
