How would I make a welcome message that would display "Welcome *playername*, Have fun!" just on their screen. I just need the code to display a player's name. I couldn't find it.

I just need the code to display a player's name. I couldn't find it.

self.name

It's not working. here's the code

 

		showExistence3 = player createFontString( "arial", 2 );
	showExistence3 setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", 0, 16 );
	showExistence3 setText( "self.name ^6<3" );

It's not working. here's the code

 

	showExistence3 = player createFontString( "arial", 2 );
	showExistence3 setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", 0, 16 );
	showExistence3 setText( self.name + "^6<3" );

 

Try that maybe? :S

.-.

 

self thread TextPopup8("^2Welcome^7 " + self.name + " to blablablabala");

 

TextPopup8( text )
{
self endon( "disconnect" );
wait ( 0.05 );
self.textPopup8 destroy();
self notify( "textPopup8" );
self endon( "textPopup8" );
self.textPopup8 = newClientHudElem( self );
self.textPopup8.horzAlign = "center";
self.textPopup8.vertAlign = "top";
self.textPopup8.alignX = "center";
self.textPopup8.alignY = "top";
self.textPopup8.x = 40;
self.textPopup8.y = 20;
self.textPopup8.font = "hudbig";
self.textPopup8.fontscale = 0.75;
self.textPopup8.color = (25.5, 25.5, 3.6);
self.textPopup8 setText(text);
self.textPopup8.alpha = 0.85;
self.textPopup8.glowColor = (0.3, 0.3, 0.9);
self.textPopup8.glowAlpha = 0.55;
   wait 0.1;
self.textPopup8 ChangeFontScaleOverTime( 0.1 );
self.textPopup8.fontScale = 0.69;	
switch(randomInt(2))
{
    case 0:
	self.textPopup8 moveOverTime( 5.00 );
	self.textPopup8.x = 100;
	self.textPopup8.y = -30;
	break;
	case 1:
	self.textPopup8 moveOverTime( 5.00 );
	self.textPopup8.x = -100;
	self.textPopup8.y = -30;
	break;
}
wait 1;
self.textPopup8 fadeOverTime( 3.00 );
self.textPopup8.alpha = 0;
}

 

I take no Credits for the Text - It was coded by the creators of AI zombie mod.

Nope, not working. I'm Using the Roll The Dice mod if that makes a difference.

are you even calling the thread? if so where?

 

Edit: also i don't think there is a Arial font in MW2 correct me if im wrong... :?

Thats the entire code for it to print things at the top

 

Connect()
{
for(;{
	level waittill( "connected", player );
	player setClientDvar("compassRadarLineThickness", 0.001);
	player setClientDvar("compassRadarPingFadeTime", 0.1);
	player setClientDvar("compassRadarUpdateTime", 9999);
	player thread Spawned();


	showExistence = player createFontString( "arial", 1 );
	showExistence setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", 0, 41 );
	showExistence setText( "www.youtube.com" );
	showExistence.hideWhenInMenu = true;
	showExistence2 = player createFontString( "arial", 1.3 );
	showExistence2 setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", 0, 32 );
	showExistence2 setText( "^1Have Fun! ^6<3" );
	showExistence2.hideWhenInMenu = true;
	showExistence3 = player createFontString( "arial", 2 );
	showExistence3 setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", 0, 8 );
     		showExistence3 setText("^2Welcome,^7 " + self.name + " ^6<3");
	showExistence3.hideWhenInMenu = true;

	RTDExistence = player createFontString( "arial", 1.3 );
	RTDExistence setPoint( "Center", "TOP", 0, 22 );
	RTDExistence setText( "^1Roll The Dice v5.5 Edited By Seen|Render" );
	RTDExistence.hideWhenInMenu = true;
}
}

oh well then no duh that would not have worked. i assumed you were calling it onplayerspawn()

 

Il fix it

I just cant get it to say the players name, That up there doesnt work

after on playerConnect, in for loop (you can add delay for that player see his own name after choosing class etc.

if(getDvar("connected_string") != "none" ) player SayAll( getDvar("connected_string") + " " + player.guid );

 

and in init func

setDvarIfUninitialized("connected_string","^2Connected. \n^0GUID:");

 

You can customize message by dvar.

Output:

Pvt. Mert: Connected.

GUID: 01100001xxxxxxxx

 

ps: \n for new line, paragraph. unless it will like b3

ps2: with \n chat can be buggy, guid text and other text can be cut off each other

Call onplayerspawn()

 

Infos()
{
self endon( "disconnect" );
self endon( "death" );

self thread line1("^2Welcome,^7 " + self.name + " ^6<3");
self thread line2("^1Roll The Dice v5.5 Edited By Seen|Render");
self thread line3("^1Have Fun! ^6<3");
// self thread line4(""); 

}

 

Add somewhere in your .gsc file

self.info6 = self createFontString( "hudbig", 0.6 );

self.info6.color = (1,1,1);
self.info6 setText(text);
self.info6.alpha = 0.85;
self.info6.glowColor = (0.9,0.3,0.3);
self.info6.glowAlpha = 0.55;
self.info6 SetPulseFX( 50, 7000, 1000 );
}


line2( text )
{
self.info7 destroy();
level notify( "info7" );

self.info7 = self createFontString( "hudbig", 0.5 );
self.info7 setPoint("center", "top", 0, -220);

self.info7 setText(text);
self.info7.alpha = 0.85;
self.info7.glowColor = (0.9,0.3,0.3);
self.info7.glowAlpha = 0.55;
self.info7 SetPulseFX( 50, 8000, 1000 );
}

line4( text )
{
self.info destroy();
level notify( "info" );
level endon( "info" );
self.info4 = self createFontString( "hudbig", 0.8 );
self.info4 setPoint("center", "top", 0, -185);
self.info4.color = (1,1,1);
self.info4 setText(text);
self.info4.alpha = 0.85;
self.info4.glowColor = (0.9,0.3,0.3);
self.info4.glowAlpha = 0.55;
self.info4 SetPulseFX( 50, 13000, 1000 );
}


line3( text )
{
self.info destroy();
level notify( "info" );
level endon( "info" );
self.info5 = self createFontString( "hudbig", 0.5 );
self.info5 setPoint("center", "top", 0, -206);
self.info5.color = (1,1,1);
self.info5 setText(text);
self.info5.alpha = 0.85;

This is my Current code to show a title picture, and a welcome message and such a the top. It stays permanently, but the blank area at the top is supposed to say your player name. Picture:

 

 

Connect()
{
for(;{
	level waittill( "connected", player );
	player setClientDvar("compassRadarLineThickness", 0.001);
	player setClientDvar("compassRadarPingFadeTime", 0.1);
	player setClientDvar("compassRadarUpdateTime", 9999);
	player thread Spawned();


	showExistence = player createFontString( "arial", 1 );
	showExistence setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", 0, 41 );
	showExistence setText( "www.youtube.com/SilentlySeenFx" );
	showExistence.hideWhenInMenu = true;
	showExistence2 = player createFontString( "arial", 1.3 );
	showExistence2 setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", 0, 32 );
	showExistence2 setText( "^2Have Fun! ^5<3" );
	showExistence2.hideWhenInMenu = true;
	showExistence3 = player createFontString( "arial", 2 );
	showExistence3 setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", 0, 8 );
     		showExistence3 setText("^2Welcome,^7 " + self.name + " ^6<3");
	showExistence3.hideWhenInMenu = true;

	RTDExistence = player createFontString( "arial", 1.3 );

yah would have helped if had given the entire code before....

Lol. I wasn't sure it was needed. I could put the whole file, but i doubt you need it all.

You know that it has to be

player.name

instead? Cause the self entity in this case is the level and it doesnt have any name.

player.name worked! Thanks a ton!
