How can I change a bot name? I've searched the forum and I can't seem to make it work with a few code lines. Here is what I'm trying

PHP Code:

public Action:OnPlayerTeam(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));
    if(GetClientTeam(client) == CS_TEAM_T && IsFakeClient(client) == true)
        SetClientInfo(client, "name", "Testname");
} 


This is for CS:GO, thanks!

You can try to set this too, but i'm not sure if CS:GO needs a special workaround.

PHP Code:

SetEntPropString(client, Prop_Data, "m_szNetname", "Testname"); 


Btw, you don't need to check functions (which return a bool) excplicitly for true, just do it like this.

PHP Code:

if (someBooleanFunction())
{
    // Is true
}

Thanks for the reply. I tried that too but it acts weird, it says Testname changed name to HeadHunter, which should be the contrary.

You can try to hook player_changename event
And stop it from showing up by using

PHP Code:

return Plugin_Handled; 


on bots

[XHeadHunterX]

Still the same

Did you used EventHookMode_Pre?
example this:

PHP Code:

HookEvent("player_changename", Event_NameChange, EventHookMode_Pre)

I'll have to double check my llama plugin, but I use the following and I thought I was able to llama bots...

PHP Code:

SetClientInfo(client, "name", name); 


...:: TnT Edit ::...
Oh, for CS:GO... nevermind... I never could get my llama plugin to work... changing the players names caused all kinds of janky stuff on CS:GO

This was posted a while ago (in scripting section I think)... needs updating before testing though

PHP Code:

/**
 * Changes a clients name
 *
 * @param client        A client index.
 * @param name        Set to false to skip the IsClientConnected check
 * @param silent        Set to true to not broadcast the name change
 * @noreturn
 */
stock CS_SetClientName(client, const String:name[], bool:silent=false)
{
    decl String:oldname[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
    GetClientName(client, oldname, sizeof(oldname));

    SetClientInfo(client, "name", name);
    SetEntPropString(client, Prop_Data, "m_szNetname", name);

    new Handle:event = CreateEvent("player_changename");

    if (event != INVALID_HANDLE)
    {
        SetEventInt(event, "userid", GetClientUserId(client));
        SetEventString(event, "oldname", oldname);
        SetEventString(event, "newname", name);
        FireEvent(event);
    }

    if (silent)
        return;
    
    new Handle:msg = StartMessageAll("SayText2");

    if (msg != INVALID_HANDLE)
    {
        BfWriteByte(msg, client);
        BfWriteByte(msg, true);
        BfWriteString(msg, "Cstrike_Name_Change");
        BfWriteString(msg, oldname);
        BfWriteString(msg, name);
        EndMessage();
    }
}

Yes that's what I used.

I saw that code but it is basically the same thing as I am doing with some more options to show the chat name etc. but the basics are the same code lines I used:

PHP Code:

SetClientInfo(client, "name", name);
SetEntPropString(client, Prop_Data, "m_szNetname", name); 


Looks like there might not be a way to do this without an extension

ya, CS:GO is janky when it comes to changing the names...
