Name Conflicts

Post by EvilGrins »

I've often wondered about this, specifically as I use very setup bots.

When hosting a game, if you've got a bot in the game with a specific name and a player joins your games with the same name... what happens?

Do they both play with the same name, or does one of them lose it??

It's first come first served.
If the bot is already playing in the server, and the player comes in afterwards, the bot name stays unchanged, while the player name will change to something like "Player1" or "Player2" or something along those lines.
If the bot is the one joining in later, when the player is already in the game, then it's the bot which changes its name, but it will be to something like "Bot1" or "Bot2" or something similar instead.

Good to know. I kind of suspected, having used MonsterSpawn on the UTDMT years back...

First one gets the name Mr. Titan but if there's more than one they stop popping in as Player "numbers".

I just thought maybe real players would get preference over bots.
