It seems you are a new user, and have come from that other mod, well congratulations for joining this modification and welcome. Lua is much faster and doesn't require compiling, if you use the amx resource you are building a wall between the awesomeness and your server. I recommend you to learn Lua, you can ask questions here any time you feel like and take a look at the tutorials too.

I am a PAWN and C# programmer but Lua is not my type language. It's a very close language.

Lua is flexible and easy to understand. If you know C# and Pawn, will be not hard for you to learn Lua.

We all need to learn new things TopAz, Pawn is a pile of wank, use Lua.

Lua takes less than a minute to understand.

Give Lua a chance.

Well is there any chance to use switch statement on LUA?

I have saw it already. An example code will be appreciated.

[qaisjp]

local unacceptedNames = { 
['Bill']=false, 
[ 'Sex']=true, 
 ['Orange']=true, 
['Kiwi']=true, 
 ['Dora_the_explorer']=true, 
[ '41snakesolid']=true, 
[ 'lelee']=true 
  
addEventHandler( 'onPlayerJoin', root, function() 
    if unacceptedNames[ string.lower( getPlayerName(source) ) ] then 
         kickPlayer(source) 
     end 
end) 

This gets the players name when he joins, puts it in lowercase, checks the array/table to see if it has an index with the name AND a value other than false.

So if my name is Dora_the_explorer then I will be kicked.

If my name is Bill, then i won't be kicked

( i dont see why i should put bill, but just to make you understand the table concept too )

[TopAz]

Thank you very much Noddy!

you wont be kicked with "Dora_the_explorer" name, because that table key has a capital letter.

same with all other names, except the last 2.

and the whole thing wont work anyway because you forgot to close the table constructor.

But wouldn't string.lower change all the character's casing?

[Alpha]

Which is why it won't match the values in the table, because they contain upper-case characters.

[qaisjp]

yes, sorry, do this;

  
local unacceptedNames = { 
['bill']=false, 
[ 'sex']=true, 
 ['orange']=true, 
['kiwi']=true, 
 ['dora_the_explorer']=true, 
[ '41snakesolid']=true, 
[ 'lelee']=true 
 } 
  
  
addEventHandler( 'onPlayerJoin', root, function() 
    if unacceptedNames[ string.lower( getPlayerName(source) ) ] then 
         kickPlayer(source) 
     end 
end)
