if name contains

[Xagul]

Hello, I was wondering if there would be a way to make a script to determine if a players name contains certain character strings for example:

if getCreatureName(cid) == "Administrator" then
//code
end

Now that works if you want to sit and think of 1000 possibility's but what about using wildcards? Maybe sumthing like this:

prohibited = "Admin~"

if getCreatureName(cid) == prohibited then
//code
end

I know this is not how you would have to do it however I have no idea how to go about using wildcards in this way, if anyone knows how it would be nice.

In the end really what matters is that if a player logs into a server with a name containing "GM, Admin, SGM" they should automatically be kicked (however I can handle that stuff I just need a script to determine if a name contains those words)

don't you have the AAC for that?

if(string.find(getCreatureName(cid), "admin") ~= nil) then
	action()
end

if(string.find(getCreatureName(cid), "admin") ~= nil) then
	action()
end

or not

local name = "Adminstrator"
if getCreatureName(cid) == name:gsub("(%d)(%d)(%d)", name:len() or string.upper or string.lower) then
	print("Fuck no.")
end

 

[Diath]

if(string.find(getCreatureName(cid)[B][COLOR="Red"]:lower()[/COLOR][/B], "admin") ~= nil) then
	action()
end

xdddd

Yea the aac blocks some of them but you know how noobs are... they see like CON and think its a position... lol or anything related to a staff position that they might have seen in the past. Also people find stupid ways around it like for example GM is blocked but you can put Gmr and such

 

[Diath]

local blocked = {"admin", "gm", "con", "cm"}
function onLogin(cid)
	for _, block in ipairs(blocked) do
		if(string.find(getCreatureName(cid):lower(), block) ~= nil) then
			doPlayerPopupFYI(cid, "Asta la vista!")
			return false
		end
	end
	return true
end

if ur using an AAC post the .php file that forbidds these "some names" u said or just add some names yourself

Ah I am not using a website for account creation, just usin the ingame I could check out the source for the filters but I am going to make it auto ban them ingame to set an example for other people (because its annoying)


Edit:

@Diath: will test that now
