Get other player usernames

Posted by faiz876creations

Hello,

(Im sorry if someone has asked the same question before.)

So, i have been wondering if i could draw the another Player's username.
( Like this :http://orig04.deviantart.net/b884/f/2015/268/9/5/another_player_username_by_faiz876-d9awr7f.png )

Any helps are welcomed

You can obtain the players name by either calling

gms_other_get(player_id, "name")

in the other player object, or simply using the "name"-variable in the other player object. Both player_id and name are automatically created by the extension.

You can then draw the name in any way you like, just like you would with normal strings.

Can You Give Us An Example?

And The Only Reason Why Is That i Get This Error ############################################################################################
FATAL ERROR in
action number 2
of Create Event
for object obj_other_player:

Variable obj_other_player.player_id(100002, -2147483648) not set before reading it.
at gml_Object_obj_other_player_CreateEvent_2 (line 1) - gms_other_get(player_id, "name")
############################################################################################

In the draw event:

draw_text(x, y, gms_other_get(player_id, "name"))

All right thanks
