I made some code that uses a system in a KF mod called ScrnBalance that allows people to add color codes to there names currently with my system I had to work it around to only allow certain people to do so. Sadly though currently people can do things such as change there names to someone elses and overall steal someone elses name and cause havoc without me knowing who is who in the logs
So far I only know that I'd need to loop through all the current PRIs and check if someones name is the same as someone else then forbid the name change.
Sadly I do not know how to do this, and there's still the problem if the person changes his name to someones after they leave or if the said person is not there. If possible could maybe set it so everytime a player leaves save a array of joined PRIs and then loop through those plus the players currently in the server
Here is the code I did for the function
Ignore the AltPlayerName value being set and the call to Mut, the Mut is the mutator for ScrnBalance which does most of thinsg such as finding the color tags and applying the color, AltPlayerName is used by the PRI to change someones name without affecting his overall default name
