Join As Guest , Nick Name

[TheGrimReaper]

local tag = -1
addEventHandler('onPlayerJoin', root,
local tag = tag + 1
	function(oldNick, newNick)
	name = getPlayerName(source)
	setPlayerName ( source, "Guest_".. tag )
	end
)
addEventHandler('onPlayerLogin', root,
function ()
setPlayerName ( source, name )
end
)

any idea how to make this work , i want to change the player name into guest_*** if he or she hasnt logged in , and when logged in i want the name to be changed back to name they joined from

Something like that.

-- SERVER SIDE SCRIPT

local counter = 0
local originalName = {}

addEventHandler('onPlayerJoin', root, function()
	local name = getPlayerName(source)
    originalName[source] = name
	setPlayerName(source, "Guest_"..counter)
    counter = counter + 1
end)

addEventHandler('onPlayerLogin', root, function()
    setPlayerName(source, originalName[source])
end)

On player join you need to save the player's original name to a table and you get back this name from the table, when the player is logged in.

Well on Chat it used to show when the play changed his name, But when i add the cancel event function , its just doesnt show on chat but the player can change his or her name

i used this 

 addEventHandler('onPlayerChangeNick', getRootElement(), function() cancelEvent() end )

You have a default MTA resource in your resource folder, what name is: joinquit

In this script you can find a 'onClientPlayerChangeNick' event. You need to delete this event, because this function create the info to the chat.

(You still need to cancel this event somewhere.)
