**OodlesOfNoodles** · 11-14-2011, 06:15 AM

how would i get this command ::xnpcother to work on players with spaces in their names?

Code:

if (playerCommand.startsWith("xnpcother")) {
				try {	
					String[] args = playerCommand.split(" ");
					String otherplayer = args[1];
					int newNPC = Integer.parseInt(args[2]);
					for(int i = 0; i < Config.MAX_PLAYERS; i++) {
						if(Server.playerHandler.players[i] != null) {
							if(Server.playerHandler.players[i].playerName.equalsIgnoreCase(otherplayer)) {
							Client c2 = (Client)Server.playerHandler.players[i];
								c2.npcId2 = newNPC;
                      	 			                                                c2.isNpc = true;
                        				                                                c2.updateRequired = true;
                        				                                                c2.setAppearanceUpdateRequired(true);
								c2.sendMessage("You have been turned into an NPC by: " + c.playerName);
							break;
						} 
					}
				}
			} catch(Exception e) {
				c.sendMessage("Player Must Be Offline.");
 		 }			
	}

Change:

Code:

String[] args = playerCommand.split(" ");

To:

Code:

String[] args = playerCommand.split(" ", 2);

A cheap hax would be to replace the seperation between command sections with something other than spaces.

Example:

::xnpcother_Player Name_NpcId

An even easier way would be to just load the player name from the end of the command. IE, after the second space so the code would be:

::xnpcother NpcId Player Name

String[] args = playerCommand.split(" ");
if (args.length == 3) {

Your method here.
}

Try this?

or this

if (playerCommand.startsWith("xnpcother")) {
String name = playerCommand.substring(9);
for(int i = 0; i < Config.MAX_PLAYERS; i++) {
if(Server.playerHandler.players[i] != null) {
if(Server.playerHandler.players[i].playerName.equalsIgnoreCase(otherplayer)) {
Client c2 = (Client)Server.playerHandler.players[i];
c2.npcId2 = newNPC;
c2.isNpc = true;
c2.updateRequired = true;
c2.setAppearanceUpdateRequired(true);
c2.sendMessage("You have been turned into an NPC by: " + c.playerName);
break;
}
}
}
} catch(Exception e) {
c.sendMessage("Player Must Be Offline.");
}
