I wanted to make it eaiser to get the GameObject * of a player by typing his name out. Then I found it was slightly annoying when players had stupid names like "11||1!\!!|\1\!|!|!\11\11|||", so I experimented with "Get_Part_Name". However, the function never seems to return a gameobject no matter how unique I start typing there name...

Here is a little chat hook I made to test the function out:


class testChatCommand : public ChatCommandClass {
	void Triggered(int ID,const TokenClass &Text,int ChatType) {
				GameObject *obj = Get_GameObj(ID);

					if (!Text[1].empty()) {

std::string player = Text[1].c_str();

GameObject *pobj = Get_GameObj_By_Player_Name(player.c_str());

if(!pobj){
Console_Input(StrFormat("ppage %d You typed %s, there is no exact match to this name.",ID,player.c_str()).c_str());
}
else{
Console_Input(StrFormat("ppage %d You typed %s, i've found this player and I confirm his name is %s.",ID,player.c_str(),Get_Player_Name(pobj)).c_str());
}
GameObject *pobj2;
pobj2 = Get_Part_Name(player.c_str());
if(!pobj2){
Console_Input(StrFormat("ppage %d You typed %s, the name is not unique enough to find.",ID,player.c_str()).c_str());
}
else{
Console_Input(StrFormat("ppage %d You typed %s, you probably mean %s.",ID,player.c_str(),Get_Player_Name(pobj2)).c_str());
}
					}
	}

	};
ChatCommandRegistrant<testChatCommand> testChatCommandReg("!find",CHATTYPE_ALL,1,GAMEMODE_AOW);


I used this chathook in a server with twenty players, I typed out a few players names that was long, but just missed off the last letter. I was always paged that the name was not unique enough.

Is there something wrong with the way I am using the function Get_Part_Name, or is the function itself not working how it should?

Get_Part_Name function is here if you cab't be bothered to look it up Razz

GameObject *Get_Part_Name(const char *name1)
{
	GenericSLNode *x = BaseGameObjList->HeadNode;
	int count = 0;
	GameObject *current = 0;
	while (x)
	{
		GameObject *o = As_SoldierGameObj((GameObject *)x->NodeData);
		if (o)
		{
			const char *name = Get_Player_Name(o);
			if (!stristr(name,name1))
			{
				current = o;
				count++;
			}
			delete[] name;
		}
		x = x->NodeNext;
	}
	if ((count == 1) && (current) && (Commands->Get_ID(current)))
	{
		return current;
	}
	else
	{
		return 0;
	}
}
