Is it possible to show a palyers name in the
iPrintlnBold Message..

Example

iPrintlnBold("[PLAYERNAME] Was Just took the objective");

iprintlnBold(self.name + "Just took the objective");

should do the trick.

Nope that didnt work.... It errors on that command now.

show us ur script. can rework it to work with yours.

main()
{
thread scripted_msg1();
}

scripted_msg1()
{
print_msg1 = getentarray("print_msg1","targetname");
for(i=0;i<print_msg1.size;i++)
print_msg1[i] thread trigger_messages();
}

trigger_messages()
{
	while(1)
	{
		self waittill("trigger",player);	// Wait until triggered
		if(player.sessionstate != "playing")
			continue;

		if(isDefined(player.triggered_1))
			continue;

		iPrintlnBold("MESSAGE HERE");

		player.triggered_1 = true;

		player thread waittilloutoftrig(self);
	}
}

waittilloutoftrig(trig)
{
	self endon("disconnect");
	while(self isTouching(trig))	// While the player is touching the trigger stay here
		wait 0.05;
	self.triggered_1 = undefined;
}

Trigger type is Trigger_Multible

and what is the exact error you're getting?

in first - sorry for my bad english!

Dont do an String-Addition in an output-command! Its wrong code!

do this so:

strg = player.name + "Text, you will";
iPrintLnBold(strg);

this should work - im my mind

iPrintlnBold(player.name + " was here");

will work

Well, actually that is not correct. It will work as stated above, Ive been using it in AWE4 since COD4 first came out.

This -



- works fine "as is".

However, its important to note that you do have to put these 2 settings in your server config file:

set loc_warnings 0
set loc_warningsAsErrors 0

That stops the server spitting out error messages that your strings are not localized.

If you want to go the whole hog and do it properly, you can localize your strings and still get a player name in -

From my AWE4 disarm explosives code:





String:


&&1 picks up player.name/self.name and prints it to center screen.
