How to get multiplayer name?

[MisterBrownZA]

Greetings everyone,

I eventually decided to join the forum - as I can't find any questions/answers relating to my problem.

I'd like to access game.players - multiplayer name for each player who has joined.

I hope someone can help me with this

Code: Select all

for _, v in pairs(game.players) do game.local_player.print(v.name) end

Amazing! So easy!

Quick question. I couldn't find local_player.print() method in the wiki, so wasn't sure how I was supposed to do this.

I'll try this when I get home tonight.

I'm guessing v.name returns the player's "get_localised_entity_name"

Lua/Game#local_player
Lua/Player#print

I'm guessing v.name returns the player's "get_localised_entity_name"

That contains whatever the player entered in options -> other -> multiplayer username. localised_name is only a thing for entities, like the player's character, but that only ever says "player" so it's not very interesting.
