Get someone elses name

[ploxie]

how to get someone elses name…
Like:
"playername" wants you to trade

[unnown]

uhh getplayername(index)

[Fred]

call playermsg(index, GetPlayerName(index) & " wants to trade you", 10)

[zidsal]

would index really work? as index is to do with the person DOING the action. aka if I activated an event I could use index. If I used that snippet of code it would return my name not the other persons name. :rolleyes:

EDIT
I just looked it up in the source and it looks like I was right. Ths server uses the index system of finding the players number. so it would be getplayername(1) if the player was in index slot 1\. To find there index slot you would need to use a loop.

Do While(x > MAX_PLAYERS)
    getplayerindex(x)
Loop

No I mean like this

If someone send a trade request to me then there will pop up a Picbox with the trade request, accept button and a Decline button

[Akselj]

Use call SendData then server side use something like this:

```
Call MsgBox(GetPlayerName(Index) & "wants to trade with you. Do you wish to accept?" vbYesNo, Nothing)

```
Not sure how to find out what they answered though.

Client side index use: Myindex
Server Side: Index

For the response to the msgbox above, you set the value to a variable (in the example above, its not even being used), then depending on the variable you get the response. So if the value = 0, or 1 you send or don't do anything. Anyways you get the picture.
