Difference between Name and NametagText

[Lestat]

Whats the difference between Name and NametagText?

local nameTag = getPlayerNametagText ( thePlayer )

local name = getPlayerName ( thePlayer )

They both return the same string with colorcodes.

A players nametag and name are the same default by MTA, however with a script they can be changed. The Nametag text is the 3D text on the player that other players change, which can be changed with setPlayerNametagText and the players name is the nickname that is displayed in something like the chatbox and can be changed with setPlayerName.

To get a string without color codes, you can use this function:

function removeColorCode ( text )  
    return text:gsub ( "#%x%x%x%x%x%x" ); 
end
