I haven't had to get a user by name in a long time, I did many searches using target and other criteria and still am at a loss.

example sm_slap joh
Player john was slapped.

Get where I am going?

decl Player
Player = -1
GetCmdArgString(TypedName, 32)
StripQuotes(TypedName)
TrimString(TypedName)

for(new x = 1; x <= GetMaxClients(); x++)
{
    if(IsClientInGame(x))
    {
        GetClientName(x, TestName, 32)
        if(StrContains(TestName, TypedName, false) != -1)
        {
            Player = x
            PlayerName = TestName
        }
    }
}

if(Player == -1)
{
    //no client found for the typed name
}
