Examples

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid,reason)
{
    new playerName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, playerName, MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    SetPVarString(playerid, "PlayerName", playerName);
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerDeath(playerid, killerid, WEAPON:reason)
{
    new playerName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
    GetPVarString(playerid, "PlayerName", playerName, sizeof(playerName));

    printf("%s died.", playerName);
}

Notes

wskazówka

If length of string is zero (value not set), output text will not be updated or set to anything and will remain with old data, neccesying that you clear the variable to blank value if GetPVarString returns 0 if that behavior is undesired.
