Hello there, I'm doing an account system and I want each player to use a unique username without using the console. I'd like to know how to ask them for the username they want for their account. For instance typing it on the chat.

hook chat or use OnClientSayCommand, use a boolean to determine whether or not the text typed in chat was a reply to the question or input

This won't listen only to commands? I mean, what if I want to do something like :

+--------- chat ----------+
+ Enter a username :      +
+ Mike                    + --> player input
+ User "Mike" Found !     +
+ ...                     +
+-------------------------+

I can't test now...

Did you read the docs? Have you ever used this forward?

Let me quote from the docs...

Global listener for the chat commands.

It is a forward provided by the core that fires whenever a client uses a chat command such as say, say2, say_team, say_team2, print, echo, ...

Coding the example you gave us would be easier and more elegant with the OnClientSayCommand forward.

My apologies, my english wasn't good enough. I misunderstood it.
Thanks for clarification.
