I have a flash sign like one found in clubs - says hello (yourname) welcome blah blah blah

anyway have put this in the script and the sign works I can also edit the text and colours etc...

however I accidentally deleted one of the codes that displays the name shown... so now instead of saying

hello Gazelle_PHNX

it says hello 34934234244

(it shows the member number

wondering if anyone can tell me the correct code to put back thanks...

looked like [memberID] I think but this now only shows numbers not name..

Thanks in advance for any help with this.. and don't say ask the person who make sign as they now left rlc..

Your best bet is to contact whoever made the sign to have them redo the code.

can I ask you if you have saved a previous layout version of that place?
If yes, you can ask me how to fix that.

(and, your member id is 101831839 as I see at your Profile Page)

It's probably not anything you did. If you messed up the code on your end you shouldn't see your own member id number in the display. In theory...

To my knowledge there is not a variable that will directly grab the members name. However the [memberID] part will snatch the Member ID number when the person enters. Then there would be another process on the 3rd party server can would query the UV servers, load that profile page via the member id number, and grab the member name. That's how it's done. There are two things happening to get the user's name.

But, if --for instance-- Utherverse has blocked access to the UV servers by this 3rd party other server (servers have static IP numbers, so easy to do) for some reason, the block would effectively break the tools ability to grab the name.

The same sort of thing would happen if UV's servers happened to be under heavy load when you were loading the region, under heavy enough load they they couldn't respond to the 3rd party server in time to get the name displayed. This would be a Temporary issue. Meaning one time you would see your name, another time you might not.

If I had to hazard a guess, one of the two above would be mine. But it's purely a guess on my part, not knowing any of the specifics. A guess where the symptoms match what would happen if an IP block was slapped on a 3rd party server for any reason. Wink

I don't have a layout saved my mistake but, sure the same codes used for other signs that are still currently working...

and yes thanks for saying but, I knew my own member number - the one I used as example was just made up to try show what I meant

and in the script setting of prop there are things like [memberId] along with a place to type the text want displayed but when I changed this I removed one of these commands that had the name [ ]
this is what is missing and why now wont show name so I know it not down to servers etc.. it down to my fault of deleting code by accident however since there are commands with [ ] for other things and knowing I deleted one I just presumed it would be simple enough to put it back if known and since other signs out there working perhaps they use same or similar [commands] perhaps there is a list of [commands] that someone would be kind enough to let me see?

just wondering how else can fix this? or is there anyone out there with a working similar sign I can use or since always about rays - a cheap one? hehe

Thanks again
