Is it possible to geta players name during a mp game, and then use it in a print function?

Welcome to Massassi SGT_CoCoNuT. Here's a sample cog (unless you want to change the dying message thats in the JKstrings.uni [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif] )
Code: 
# Sample cog for SGT_CoCoNuT
#
# [DP]
#
symbols
thing       target
surface     switch
message     activated
end
# ........................................................................................
code
Activated:
   If(GetSenderRef() != switch) Return;
   target = GetSourceRef();
   jkStringClear();
   jkStringConcatPlayerName(target);
   jkStringConcatSpace();
   jkStringConcatASCIIString("has activated the switch");
   jkStringOutput(-3, -1);
   Return;
end
Hope this helps. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Well gee, all you had to say was "JKstringconcatplayername()"... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif]

I used to believe that we only want what we can't have. I was wrong. The truth is, the wonderful truth is, we only want what we think we can't have.

lol, i said function(im still thinking javascript). Thanks guys, but how do i put "JKstringconcatplayername()" into a print, for a simple example:

symbols

sector sec
message entered

end

code

entered:

Print("*name here* entered a sector that ill specify in JED.");

return;

end

Code: 
# Sample cog for SGT_CoCoNuT, modified for entered message
#
# [DP]
#
symbols
thing       target
sector      sector
message     entered
end
# ........................................................................................
code
Entered:
   target = GetSourceRef();
   jkStringClear();
   jkStringConcatPlayerName(target);
   jkStringConcatSpace();
   jkStringConcatASCIIString("has entered the sector This can be changed!");
   jkStringOutput(-3, -1);
   Return;
end
When entered the sector, the string should print with the players name. OH and GBK, an example can be a big help. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

A year ago, I would have agreed with you, but now, after 10k cogs, and a hand full of blisters, I can safely say, "THE VERB IS PLENTY ENOUGH".


Thank you gentlemen, and goodnight.
