Addon that shows player name when you put their crosshair over them
tber123:
Would it be possible for an addon that shows the player name if you put the crosshair over them? Im asking this because I recently tried to host a Super Murder Mystery server, but everyone treated it like a glorified deathmatch. SMM gives everyone "real names" instead of usernames, so its difficult to kick/ban people.
Example: Blockhead1452 joins a SMM server. He starts deathmatching, but everyone sees his name as "John Doe". With this addon, I put the crosshair over him(even if Im dead and spectating), get his name in bottom print, and prepare the banhammer.
Before anyone asks, I know how to edit what addons a gamemode picks.

I think he means Admin-only or after a /showNames Admin-only command
Yes this is possible.
What I would do, is look at the code for the "OnBotActivated" event so you can see how 'finding the player you are looking at' works. Then get the %player.client.name variable from it and display that on a bottom print.

The purpose of realism(Who names their kid "YoloSwag569") or to be anonymous when RDMing?

SMM has a /whois SMM name function
