@Bugsy if the change name message is blocked, will the code still be triggered?
Also, wouldn't it be more effective just having a variable set to true/false for when not to ignore the forward instead of registering and unregistering it constantly?

@DJEarthQuake

public client_infochanged( id )

called 2 times on client connect.
called 5 times when changing team.
// and some more cases.

-> unstoppable



FM_ClientUserInfoChanged

called when changing player name.
called 1 time when changing team.
// and some more cases.

-> can be unregistered



@georgik57

If the "2=#Cstrike_Name_Change" occurs it is always a player changing his name.

But it is global "a", so you will not be able to catch the player id there. You could use a loop although.
So Bugsy proceeds on FM_ClientUserInfoChanged, where the player id can be catched a bit after.

By unregistering the forward you eliminate unnecessary "if" checks when the function is called, in this case when the player changes its team or something else.

I meant like this. 2 less native calls.

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <fakemeta>

new const Version[] = "0.2";

#define MAX_PLAYERS 32

new const DefaultNames[][] = 
{
    "Player",
    "Sizzle Chest",
    "Frank Rizzo",
    "Sol Rosenberg",
    "Mike Derucki"
};

new g_szName[ MAX_PLAYERS + 1 ][ 32 ];
new g_bCheckName;

public plugin_init() 
{
    register_plugin( "Name Change Hook" , Version , "bugsy" );
    
    register_event( "SayText" , "EventSayText" , "a" , "2=#Cstrike_Name_Change" );
    
    register_forward( FM_ClientUserInfoChanged , "ClientUserInfoChanged" , 1 );
}

public EventSayText()
{
    g_bCheckName = 1;
}

public ClientUserInfoChanged( id )
{
    if ( !g_bCheckName )
        return;
    
    g_bCheckName = 0;
    
    if ( !is_user_connected( id ) )
        return;
    
    get_user_name( id , g_szName[ id ] , charsmax( g_szName[] ) );
    
    for ( new i = 0 ; i < sizeof ( DefaultNames ) ; i++ )
    {
        if ( equali( g_szName[ id ] , DefaultNames[ i ] ) )
        {
            //set name
        }
    }
}

This has already gone into an oblivion. Who changes their name to 'player' after joining? Client_infochanged catching team changes, big whoop. Running as designed. It runs all the time if we tap into it or not like many other forwards. It's more useful to make script work on all mods especially when less code is required. Name changing is slow-hacking.

Dunno what you guys arguing about here, but may i get a final code?

[WATCH_D0GS UNITED]

Please download the script, open it, and add the names you want to detect and override.

// Names you want to replace.

PHP Code:

 new const DefaultNames[][] = 
{
    "Player",
    ...,
} 


// Names you will use to override.

PHP Code:

 new const N_Override[][] = 
{
    "Captain John Price",
    ...,
}

Tried it, it doesnt change my name on connect, only when i change my name while in-game

Tested in AMXX v1.8.2 and 1.10 and it works as intended.

It works well in both CS and CZ.

Please test without using any other plugins.
