How can I output the player name?

[Pvt.Mapper]

Hi.
I'm making class system in MOHAA.

it's use a "local.myclass = #", 1 = soldier, 2 = Medic, 3 = engineer...

so it must print the name and class.

iprintlnbold_noloc "****(player name) be the Medic."

maybe it 's "local.player.name", but cant output my name...

HELP!!

Have you tried using $player1, $player2, etc..? For multiplay it might be $allied.player1 or $axis.player1. Try looking at the console during a multiplayer game and ask someone to type a message. Good luck.

Did u ever get this sorted out ?

Duncan,
I haven't even tried it yet. I've been busy working on the geometry for my new map. I'll try it tonight and see what I come up with and let ya know.

I think the following will work to find out the current player's name, but I don't know how to output the name of an other player on a server:

local.playername = getcvar(name)

This line of code inputs the in-game 'name' variable.

i tried that ages ago but it only returns the name of the player on the server

I'm afraid it's not really helpful either, but anyway. I tried some things with MOHAA and will found out that if you type

rcon status

in your console that you can get a list of player names, scores etc. But you must know and set the rcon password first. Sadly, I don't think you could use any 'getcvar' tricks on it to put a player's name to a variable.

Why can't I edit my posts on this forum? Just found out I made some grammar error.
