How to make a display of the player's name?

Code: [Select]

------------------------------ Tsay ------------------------------
function ulx.tsay( calling_ply, message )
ULib.tsay( _, message )

if util.tobool( GetConVarNumber( "ulx_logChat" ) ) then
ulx.logString( string.format( "(tsay from %s) %s", calling_ply:IsValid() and calling_ply:Nick() or "Console", message ) )
end
end
local tsay = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx tsay", ulx.tsay, "@@", true, true )
tsay:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.StringArg, hint="message", ULib.cmds.takeRestOfLine }
tsay:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
tsay:help( "Send a message to everyone in the chat box." )

Are you trying to make a whole new command? Like just a tsay name command?

[giraff]

I need to add a nickname to the text

[XxLMM13xX]

if you type @@<name> then it will show up in chat

[XxLMM13xX]

I see what you mean.... you can replace the line at ULib.tsay() with this


ULib.tsay( _, calling_ply.." Said: "..message )

[giraff]

In a chat, nothing appears

whats the error

Ok so overall are you looking to just have the tsay say:

"XxLMM13xXgaming said: message"

Seems so. This is actually a pretty good idea this way these anonymous messages can be quoted by a particular player despite it not being directly in chat.

Small mistake in what XxLMM13xX told you to do

calling_ply is a player and can't be printed into the chat, what you want is to grab the name of the player
ULib.tsay( calling_ply, calling_ply:Name().." Said: "..message )
I also changed the _ to calling_ply since _ is not the player variable

You could also use calling_ply:Nick() since Name() and Nick() do the exact same thing
