onClientChangeNick

Article for this event is not in wiki... Please describe this event

Well, I suppose the source would be the player that changed his nick, so I guess it would be like

  
function nickChange ( source ) 
              outputChatBox( "Your old nick was better", source, 255, 255, 255 ) 
end 
addEventhandler("onClientChangeNick", getRootElement(), nickChange ) 
  

but I'm just guessing here, but since most of the events are like that i guess that's how it works

maybe there are parameters like newnick and oldnick, but I don't know, maybe a dev can answer that.

I think it's onClientChangeNick(source, oldnick, newnick)

since the client side function is OnClientPlayerChangeNick(oldnick, newnick)

Parameters for functions are:

- oldnick

- newnick

and source returned is the player who changed his nick.

This is not a function! This is an Event! The way function works is different to the way event works. Function gets attached to event.

With onClientChangeNick(source, oldnick, newnick), I wanted to show which parameters are used by "onClientChangeNick" event. I didn't say you should call function onClientChangeNick

Does this event even work? I tried everything I could think of, but I couldn't get it to work..

here's my code

  
function nickChange ( source, oldnick, newnick ) 
     outputChatBox( "You have succesfuly changed your nick from" .. oldnick .. " to " .. newnick .. "!", source, 255, 255, 255 ) 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientChangeNick", getRootElement(), nickChange )

No, it won't. Remember 'source' is a global variable - you don't specify it as an argument.

The syntax is just oldnick, newnick.

Has anyone got this working ? I've tried everything but I can't make this nick change event fire e.g. no text from this is ever displayed :

  
function nickChange(oldnick,newnick) 
    outputDebugString("NICK CHANGE!") 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientChangeNick", getRootElement(), nickChange )

I tried that too but it didn't work.
