how to disable short nicks.

[killingyasoon]

hello, i am just wondering how to disable short nicks with 3 letters/digits like abc,hey,123,... and so on.

[iMr.WiFi..!]

"onPlayerConnect"
-- To get length of letters  in name use # Ex. #getPlayerName(player)
getPlayerName -- if was less than 3 letters then cancelEvent

 

[Mr.Loki]

The first function parameter in onPlayerConnect is the player's name just check that instead of using getPlayerName

// SERVER

function nickHandler( playerNick )
	if ( playerNick and ( #playerNick <= 3 ) ) then
    	// DO SOMETHING
     	cancelEvent() // KICK
    end
end

addEventHandler( 'onPlayerConnect', root, nickHandler )

there're no errors but still doesn't work.

function nickHandler(playerNick) 
  if (playerNick) and string.len(playerNick) <3 then
    cancelEvent() 
  end
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerConnect", root, nickHandler)

Way to reinvent how Lua comments are supposed to be.

Wrote it fast and since I haven't been coding in Lua for a while made those comments in C++.

[Dimos7]

function nickHandler(playerNick) 
  if (playerNick) and string.len(playerNick) <=3 then
    cancelEvent(true, "Your nickname is too short for that") 
  end
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerConnect", root, nickHandler)

[URBAN]

addEventHandler("onPlayerChangeNick", root, function(oldNick, newNick)
    if string.len(newNick) <= 3 then
          setPlayerName(source,oldNick)
	end
end)
