update player list on nick change

[Fist]

Hello!

How i could find player name in gridlist when he changes name and update's it with the new name in gridlist?

i tried this but didnt work, it gave me errors that he gets boolen or user data i tried to use tostring() also getPlayerName(), didnt work either.

client code:

  
function updatePlayerList(oldNick,newNick) 
    if string.find(oldNick,gridlistPlayers1) then 
        guiGridListSetItemText(gridlistPlayers1, 0, string.find(oldNick,gridlistPlayers1), newNick, false, false) 
    end 
end 
addEvent("updatePlayerList",true) 
addEventHandler("updatePlayerList",root,updatePlayerList) 
  

server code:

  
function updatePlayerListOnNickChange(oldNick,newNick) 
    triggerClientEvent(source,"updatePlayerList",source,oldNick,newNick) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerChangeNick",root,updatePlayerListOnNickChange)

this is strange, i guess its caused because you passed source then oldNick then newNick to updatePlayer function, here:

triggerClientEvent(source,"updatePlayerList",source,oldNick,newNick) 

try this:

triggerClientEvent(source,"updatePlayerList",oldNick,newNick, source)

yep now no errors, but still it doesnt work what i wanted to. It doesnt update player list at all, i never used string.find before, maybe could you help me with that?

i dont think string.find is the function you wanna use, it returns the number where the string starts and ends

example: string.find("i will say YES", "will") -- returns >> 3 6

no i needed to use it, i just made it work with my friends help, he explained me how it works.

and btw your code what u gave me about triggering client event, was wrong either. So please learn first by your self scripting before helping others.
