not sure why you would want the name to match aswell, as a player can change it and then the script wont run ... also it is very unreliable and will often fail cause of case sensitive

 

but you can get players name with:

name player

could be used like this to check players name and run some code:

if(name player == "blabla")then{
//block of code here
};

or check if name is in an array:

if(name player in ["blabla","blabla2"])then{
//block of code here
};

using it with toLower can sometimes help, but still not fail proof ...

maybe checking for bad names?

BEC has a function for that.

I don't get a real reason to check for the name either. The UID is the best to use to check for specific players.

_list = [213123,"Martin",456456,"is",789789,"hungry"];
_uid = getPlayerUID player;
_name = name player;


{
	if (typeName _x == "SCALAR") then {
		_check = _x == _uid && (_list select (_forEachIndex+1) == _name;
	};

} forEach _list;

//Returns True, if uid and Name Match, otherwise returns false. 

You searching for something like that?

OR:

 

_list = [[123,"Martin"]];
_uid = getPlayerUID player;
_name = name player;
_arr = [];
_arr = [_uid,_name];

{
	if (_x == _arr) then {
		//Is True
	};
} count _list;

	if (typeName _x == "SCALAR") then {

 

this is why you put the uids into a string first, rofl

 

not to mention you cannot compare 2 arrays ...

Just in case you don't know, what a Question Mark is there for: It indicates, that the sentence before the Question Mark is supposed to be Question, which in return means, that you are asking something. Now A solution is not a question, but i posted a Question. Can you follow?

 

I'm watching you a while now and you always criticize everything, but mostly your codes are not 100% perfect either, so mate how about you try saying it nicer when something is wrong or just leave it, because you are just annoying as hell.

 

Sorry, had to say that...

im laughing becourse you are checking for something irrelevant, when you could just put the uids into string to begin with and avoid that chekc all togehter ...

i know im good looking, but im just not into youy that way martin ... sorry

 

but mostly your codes are not 100% perfect either

 

when did i ever say it was?

 

because you are just annoying as hell.

 

tbh i dont really care who i annoy, ill do my thing the way i see fit ...

 

Sorry, had to say that...

 

dont be sorry that you speak your oppinion about me being a douche, cause i propperbly am sometimes, but i usually do not mean it in a bad way.

 

however you are always waving your arms like you can do everything, so i think its super funny to pick it apart ... ill try not to, if you feel offended ... lol

you do not need it in the array for that, just get it at some other point ... if you want to save a special name associated with the uid, the best way would be to do two arrays or something i guess.
