Another useless looking plugin. This one renames everyone to Anonymous1,Anonymous2,Anonymous3,etc (so it doesn't make the chat plugin go on an infinite renaming loop). Similar to the auto renaming plugin I guess.

Code: [Select]

if(_player.name != "Anonymous") {
    <send data>
}
If you rename people "Anonymous#", they're never going to be named "Anonymous"
So you're going to send PLAYER_CHANGENAME every step, flooding the network :O


Also, if everyone is named the same way, you don't need to count the number of players that has "Anonymous" in his name. You may prefer using this

Code: (new code) [Select]

_player.name = "Anonymous" + string(i+1);
instead of this

Code: (current code) [Select]

_player.name = "Anonymous" + string(number);
and remove this

Code: (probably useless code) [Select]

        number = 0;
        with(Player)
        {
            if(string_copy(name, 1, 9) == "Anonymous")
                number += 1;
        }
About the idea, well, I'm not sure. That's a way to solve the problem of new players being named Player all the time, but aliasing was said to be bad, and this plugin is basically giving aliases to everyone

I personally don't plan to use it, not because it's a bad plugin, just because I prefer to have my players being able to pick the names they want
