all right? (Name Check)

[Juzeph]

Code: Select all

 var staffList := {"staff", "conselour", "seer", "gm", "admin", "owner", "developer", "sir", "lord"};
 var i := 1;
  while(staffList[i])
    if(lower(name[staffList[i]]))
      SendMessage(quem, "The word " + staffList[i] + " was not authorized to use in the name.");
      changeName(quem);
     break;
    endif
   i := i + 1;
  endwhile

Independent of the used word, it always appears the message "The word was not authorized to use in the name".

you want to use a for() not while()

Code: Select all

    for (i := 1; i >= staffList.Size(); i += 1 )
        if(lower(name[staffList[i]]))
            SendMessage(quem, "The word " + staffList[i] + " was not authorized to use in the name.");
            changeName(quem);
            break;
        endif
    endfor

Your While() loop is perfectly fine. There isn't a single thing wrong with it. Don't change it if that's how you want to use it.

Your problem is this line:

Code: Select all

if(lower(name[staffList[i]]))

Think about what you are doing there for a second. Let's break it down:

Code: Select all

var v1 := staffList[i];  //v1 := "staff";
var v2 := name[v1];  //v2 := {error = Uninitialized object};
var v3 := lower(v2);  //v3 := "error: Uninitialized Object";
if (v3)  //v3 is now a string literal. So this is TRUE
  ...

The problem is your call to lower() is converting whatever the result is from the inner statements into a string literal.

You need to do it this way:

Code: Select all

var lowername := lower(name);
if (lowername[staffList[i]])
  ...

While you are at it, your list of names has two problems that maybe are minor.

First, you don't have 'lady' in it, though you have 'lord'.

Second, your list would prevent a name like 'paradigm' because it just checks for 'gm' together. Maybe split the check for 'gm' into a separate check to see if the name starts with 'gm', like so:

Code: Select all

if (lower(name[1,2])=="gm"))
  ...

[Juzeph]

Code: Select all

var lowername := lower(name);
if (lowername[staffList[i]])
  ...

perfectly

The words of staffList still are not all, alone made a rough draft.

Good remembered on GM, does not decide placing "gm " (space).
