Suggestion about the /id funktion

[[GER]Melissa]

Maybe u know the problem, if u type in " /id tim " for example, but there are more than one person which begin with " tim " online and u only got the ID of one!
Its whould be better if u whould get a list of everyone who has " tim " in his name, or which name begin with " tim "!


But there should be a minimum of 3 letters.
If u whould get a list of everyone who have " [GER] " in his name u could get names like...
(i dont know if there are persons with this names on the server, but this are just examples)


[GER]Melissa ID 6
[GER]Riko ID 12
Martin[GER] ID 69


This Whould be bettter for Everyone!
Back to the example with " tim "
Tim_Bender ID 4
Tim_Messanger ID 48


If u try to get the id of Tim_Messanger u whould get just the ID of Tim_Bender cause he is the first "Tim" in the list, but cause of the list of more persons u whould get everyone with " Tim " in the name.


Maybe its whould be better for moderators and Admins too, so they wont mute/kick/ban the wrong person

How about ID then the name?
Like :
ID: 23 Google .

Anyway +1 !

good idea type /id [ro] and u will get spam of [RO] players
but better idea would be that one player should have only his unique id,
even 35123 (number of registered accounts about) or just type /id tim to find only [RO]tim

In my opinion its the same if the ID is infront of the name, or behind^^

Well...from my knowledge of scripting, this would take yet another scripting loop to accomplish. You see, the /id command just uses the sscanf paramater "u", which accepts either a partial/full playername or a playerid (try /id 5, and it will output player 5), and outputs the playerid (reference: http://forum.sa-mp.com/showthread.php?t=120356). Sscanf only outputs the first player it matches, not every player it matches, which means mick would have to loop through every player to see if the string that you pass through the command appears in any person's name. Harder than you think.

Nice idea, Mel. Its kinda annoying when you want to get id of someone whos name is completely inside other person's name, like Bull and Bullet.

After reading your post I imagine myself running in loops and asking everyone their names.
