I have a problem with both contain and containi functions. I have a setup around here that checks players name 0.5 seconds after the client_authorized event and if name matches some pattern, it basically kicks the player. Now the problem is, that both equal and equali functions work great, and both equal and equali do not. if I put something like (very basically)

new name[32]
get_user_name(id,name,31)
if(containi(name, "Cheater"))
   server_cmd("kick #%d  Errorneous nickname: Cheater", get_user_userid(id))

this bit above will kick anyone connecting to the server, no matter what their nickname is - "a", "some_nickname" or "hello123" or whatever.
But this bit

if (equali(name, "killer"))
      server_cmd("kick #%d  Errorneous nickname: killer", get_user_userid(id))

works perfectly fine.
Where's the problem ?

This is not a bug. The correct usage is if(containi(x[],y[]) != -1) to check if y is contained anywhere in x.

Perhaps you were confused that -1 will be a true case in an if statement. This is because anything non-zero is considered "true."
