{
for(%i=0;%i<ClientGroup.getCount();%i++)
{
%client = ClientGroup.getObject(%i);
if(strPos(%client.getPlayerName(),%name) > -1)
return %client;
}
return -1;
}

I'd suggest not making it case sensitive:

--- Code: ---function findClientByName(%name)
{
%count = ClientGroup.getCount();

for(%i = 0; %i < %count; %i++)
{
%client = ClientGroup.getObject(%i);

if(striPos(%client.getPlayerName(),%name) != -1)
return %client;
}

return -1;
}

--- End code ---

is it really necessary to use getPlayerName or could I just do %client.name

Headcrab Zombie:
I've always used %client.name, that's what I'm used to using, and it always worked fine.

This is the preferred way by Badspot to get the player's name, it was in an update a while back. He said to use it instead of %Client.name.

I would use %Client.getPlayerName() instead of %Client.name just because Badspot said to and you know... he can change stuff whenever he wants...
