Useful Discovery For Admins And Players In General

[Science]

Go on any sandbox/base derived server (RP, TTT, Sandbox) and begin typing a players name then press tab, you get name autocomplete.

Raw File:
[lua]
/*---------------------------------------------------------
Name: gamemode:OnChatTab( str )
Desc: Tab is pressed when typing (Auto-complete names, IRC style)
---------------------------------------------------------*/
function GM:OnChatTab( str )

local LastWord
for word in string.gmatch( str, "%a+" ) do
LastWord = word;
end

if (LastWord == nil) then return str end

playerlist = player.GetAll()

for k, v in pairs( playerlist ) do

local nickname = v:Nick()

if ( string.len(LastWord) < string.len(nickname) &&
string.find( string.lower(nickname), string.lower(LastWord) ) == 1 ) then

str = string.sub( str, 1, (string.len(LastWord) * -1) - 1)
str = str .. nickname
return str

end

end

return str;

end[/lua]

I discovered this too a while ago.

Oh my god, my life is meaningless now.

[Science]

I was like :O When i found this.

Knew about this. It doesn't work very well for names with unicode characters in them.

[Chewgum]

You saved my life with this, I quit meth and got outta rehab!!

If you use special characters in your name you should be slapped.

[CrispexOps]

I agree, but it still doesn't change the fact that people use them. I tend to notice the mingiest players use them, probably because it's harder to kick / ban quickly when they have them.

For those of us that are utter idiots,

could someone explain?

[KamikazeZombie]

If you begin typing a player's name and press tab, it will automatically complete the name for you.

Also, 1000th post :D

Yet some people don't know about it. Doesn't matter if it's late to just [b]one[/b] person.

Now... how to get this into my game...

[Science]

[QUOTE=Apollo2947;31526354]Now... how to get this into my game...[/QUOTE]Its already in all base derived gamemodes.

[CrispexOps]

Honestly, it could probably use a bit of improvement, to cover those unicode names. Just saying.
