Here's a part of my little plugin to filter player nicknames.

PHP Code:

public client_connect(id)
{
...
static pName[25];
get_user_name ( id, pName, 24 );
if (strlen(pName) < 4)
{
    set_user_info(id, "name", "Short name!%d",random_num(1,999999))
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}
...
} 


returns:

PHP Code:

error 088: number of arguments does not match definition 


What's wrong?

PHP Code:

set_user_info ( index, const info[], const value[] )

Also, as most of amxx natives, get_user_name is already returning the string len, so you can do :

if( get_user_name(id, szName, charsmax(szName)) < 4 )

I know that, but i want to do %d in the const value[].

You can't. Format it first

Is that correct?

PHP Code:

static shortname[25];
format(shortname, 24, "Short name!%d", random_num(1,999999))
set_user_info(id, "name", shortname)

It's alright, but you should use formatex for more efficiency. Check that: http://docs.sourcemod.net/api/

First, check for Format and then for FormatEx to see the difference. They'll make you understand better than me. This is for Source Mod, but the documentation seems better and the natives are approximately same.

An example:

PHP Code:

static AString[32];
AString = "claudiuhks";
format(AString, 31, "hattrick_%s", AString);
//result: hattrick_claudiuhks

static BString[32];
BString = "claudiuhks";
formatex(BString, 31, "hattrick_claudiuhks" /* can't use argument BString since you format it */);
//result: hattrick_claudiuhks

Thanks. Changed format( to fomated( in all my plugins =)

I hope you checked for the validity of changing it.

As i can see here's nothing needed to be changed in syntax. Am i wrong?
