Temporary Name Change? - Need Command Help

<< < (4/4)

JamminR:
Bah, let the module user figure out what they want to do with it.
Keep it simple.
If they want to make a fake group to hide in, let them.
Maybe add a fake team change or something to _really_ throw off some gamemodes.
Superadmin only command sounds like to me, else games break.

I started, unsure if there is a better way to change the team thing.  I'll have to look into it more.  I also am not sure why the default chatbox isn't using the new name.  I might have to overwrite something, which wouldn't be nice.

Feel free to check it out/give feedback so far:  https://github.com/Aaron113/ufakename

Done, it will now change the players name on the scoreboard and the persons target name(In the ulx and game in-general) to anything the person types.

Thanks for the help Aaron

Zoeo:
There is a bit of an annoying bug where it will kick the person for changing their name during round in TTT, but that is not a major issue.

One other thing I discovered is that if you don't change your name back before rejoining the server your console/rcon will be spammed with errors.  The way I found to fix that is make an autorun folder, put a server .lua in it, and put:

--- Code: ---function PlayerDisconnect( ply )
self:SetNWString("ufakename_name", nil)
end
--- End code ---

Aaron113:
Hhmm, I never had that issue.  It doesn't seem like something that should be a problem, but I will check it out.
