[HELP] Change player names

FiveM Resource Development Discussion
1

Hi,

I have a quick question. I run my own fivem server and I was wondering if I could changes player names. So, is it possible? Do I have to change things in the database?

Thanks for the answers

You mean you want to change other player’s names? Not possible, people using steam will have their player name changed to their steam name automatically, people not using steam can only change their own username through the FiveM settings on the home screen.

Server owners can’t change someone’s username, that’d be pretty silly if they could.

Thanks for the reply. Too bad that is not possible, it would be ideal for a roleplay server. Isn’t there a possibility to do it with a script? (Im quite new so I don’t know all the possibilities yet)

DOJ has it so when they are logged into the cad it will use there character name but thats something for the resource and modding section not technical support.

No one has made a script like this that i know of or at least never released it.

That still doesn’t mean they change your ingame name. It’s not possible to change someone’s ingame name, not even through a script.

No but i mean for RP purposes he could make it use there registered names.

make IT use registered names. What’s “it”? the chat? the server itself? a third party application? another resource?

its a resource of some sort that seems to be able to check the database im unsure on how it works because far as i know its a custom resource/script thats making this sort of thing work and has not been released so it would for sure have to be made if he wanted to do something like this.

When they use any type of chat other than OOC it uses the name they select. So if they send a tweet via the command, it uses that character they chose instead of their Steam name.

Unless it was recently updated, the script shows a GUI that they create a character name and can select from ones they have created and doesn’t connect to their CAD/MDT

Finally a response that makes sense :slight_smile:
This is not hard to achieve at all, and it doesn’t actually mean that the player’s name is changed, but instead something cancels the chat event, and re-sends it with a different name from some data source.

like i said, i got no idea how it works… in one of there videos they seem to register whatever character and it then uses that name within the chat so i can only assume they are using there database to connect names, i didnt say anything about being able to change there names with a command just that they use the user database from either the characters database from mysql or whatever there using.

Like most cads when you make a character it puts that name into the database so it would seem they are possibly doing it that way to return the name into chat.

Im not a scripter and got no idea how that works just wanted to say theres a way to at least make the chat show the names of the registered character and not only through tweets they seem to type normally and it will show the registered name.

Guess you would have to see one of there recent videos to see what i mean by that.

Yeah that’s the problem, i don’t watch those kind of videos, hence my confusion.

This wasn’t to blame you or anyone else, just finally no longer confused on what your definition of ‘player names’ was.
