This is my best guess on what you're trying to do, but I don't know:

Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>

public client_infochanged(id) 
{ 
    new newName[33] 
    get_user_info(id,"name",newName,32) 
     
    if(get_user_frags(id) >= 5 && contain(newName,"Cpl.") == -1)
    { 
        get_user_info(id, "name",newName,32) 
         
        client_print(id, print_chat, "Congratulations Private! You are now promoted to Corporal!") 
        format(newName,32,"Cpl. %s",newName) 
        client_cmd(id,"name %s",newName) 
    } 
} 
public client_putinserver(id) 
    client_infochanged(id)

Change the client_cmd to this:

Code:

client_cmd(id,"name ^"%s^"",newName)

To preserve the old name, and replace w/e rank with Cpl.; you need to do this...

Code:

//a little snippet

new oldName[32];
get_user_name(id, oldName, 31);

if(containi(oldName, "Pvt.") > -1) 
     replace(oldName, 3, "Pvt.", "");

new name[32];
format(name, 31, "Cpl. %s", oldName);

**Hawk552** · 05-23-2006 , 20:02

Why don't you just replace Pvt. with Cpl., the end part you used is useless.

thxs everyone who helped me out especially Hawk
the plugin works fine now and i added some things but now i've come across a bug in my plugin
when i start a new game, my name is Pte. Mini_Midget
(Pte. means Private) and when I get my first kill in the server, my rank
and name should change to "Cpl. Mini_Midget" but instead it changes to
"Cpl. Pte. Mini_Midget". i change my name and then it resets back to normal "Cpl. Mini_Midget"
btw, when a user connects, i can't get the client_print code to show in game

Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>

#define PLUGIN  "Army Ranks"
#define VERSION "0.1"
#define AUTHOR  "Mini_Midget"

public plugin_init()
    {
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR);
}
public client_connect(id)
    {
    new newName[33]
    get_user_info(id,"name",newName,32)
    
    if(containi(newName,"Pte.") == -1)
        {
        format(newName,32,"Pte. %s",newName)
        set_user_info(id,"name",newName)   
        client_print(id, print_chat, "G'day Private %s", newName)
    }
}
public client_infochanged(id) 
    { 
    new newName[33]
    get_user_info(id,"name",newName,32)
    
    if(get_user_frags(id) >= 1 && containi(newName,"Cpl.") == -1)
        {
        format(newName,32,"Cpl. %s",newName)
        set_user_info(id,"name",newName)  
        client_print(id, print_chat, "Congratulations Private! You are now promoted to Corporal!")
    }
} 
public client_putinserver(id) 
    set_task(20.0,"client_infochanged",id)

i forgot to credit hawk for doing the part when a user connects and he changes his name

You should have read what Zenith said.

Code:

#include <amxmodx> 
#include <amxmisc> 

#define PLUGIN    "Army Ranks" 
#define VERSION    "0.1" 
#define AUTHOR    "Mini_Midget" 

public plugin_init() 
{ 
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
} 

public client_connect(id) 
{ 
    new newName[33] 
    get_user_info(id,"name",newName,32) 
    
    if(containi(newName,"Pte.") == -1) 
    { 
        format(newName,32,"Pte. %s",newName) 
        set_user_info(id,"name",newName)    
        client_print(id, print_chat, "G'day Private %s", newName) 
    } 
} 

public client_infochanged(id)  
{  
    new newName[33] 
    get_user_info(id,"name",newName,32) 
    
    if(get_user_frags(id) >= 1 && containi(newName,"Cpl.") == -1) 
    {
        if(containi(newName,"Pte.") != -1)
        {
            replace(newName,32,"Pte.","Cpl.")
            set_user_info(id,"name",newName)
            
            client_print(id, print_chat, "Congratulations Private! You are now promoted to Corporal!")
        }
        else
        {   
            format(newName,32,"Cpl. %s",newName) 
            set_user_info(id,"name",newName)   
            
            client_print(id, print_chat, "You are now promoted to Corporal!") 
        }
    } 
}  

public client_putinserver(id)  
    set_task(20.0,"client_infochanged",id)

In this console, you can do:

Code:

amx_ban 0 "player name" "you are an idiot"

But in Pawn, look at how the syntax highlighting fucks up when we use quotes inside it:

Code:

server_cmd("ban 0 "player name" "you are an idiot"")

Why? Because quotes signify the end of the string. So, what we do is use an "escape character", which is ' ^" '.

Code:

server_cmd("ban 0 ^"player name^" ^"you are an idiot^"")
