Yea that's what I was referencing. I was just curious as to why mine was failing while yours worked. Plus it's cool to see how powerful the pawn features have become.

Regardless of all that, thanks for the submitting the patch. The CS games have needed a SetClientName native for a while now.

Does the submitted native only do the above ?

And if not, does it forces networking the new name ? Or is there a way to force networking a new name, so in the same frame the name can be changed? (Currently, if you change someone's name, it takes some time to get networked; i.e. "0.1" sec or so; before you can see a killer's right name top-right corner).

I tried to do something in one of my plugin long time ago like "Bob + RedSword WEAPONICON John", as if "RedSword" assisted Bob in killing John.

I think its instant, CBaseClient::SetName is the function itself that overwrites the name buffer directly if i understood the asm correctly, also the new native will be present in the sdktools extension

You might be right, but it seems it takes ~ 10 frames to network someone's name.

I tried to do something similar to this, but you can't do a name change as fast in Source engine it seems.

(He does it on event pre / post in Gold Source while I need to wait ~ 10 frames before refireing the event and changing someone's name back in Source).

Do you think there is a way to force networking a name change ? (And is the limitation to change name client side or server side you think ? like if I was to find a UPD packet concerning name change... )

Thanks for your reply,

Red

P.S. in the attachment is what I tried with GoD-Tony's extension (my code is crappy; made to test 1 kill happening no-too-often). I tryed at first only launching the event (line 146+), then doing on event pre/post as in Gold Source (line 64+), then counting a certain amount of frame before setting name back and fireing event (current non-dead code).

You could just set the "attacker" name [Get his name first then format it] to "" or NULL_STRING.

In what way is it not working? According to this thread it still works after the update linked in your post.
