Calling a vote when playername has a space

How do you call a vote when the said player's name has a space?

All I get is "not a valid player name".

I've tried using underscore, no joy there either.

Any help would be appreciated, cheers.

kick "player name"

ClassicD · 09-06-2002, 05:10 AM

I am typing that.

For example:

callvote kick hunter - this works fine,

callvote kick Russo Otario - this doesn't.

I am SURE I typed the correct name in.

Are you using " marks around the name?

Can also do:

In Console type:
Status (this lists the players on your server. To the left of their name is a number between 0 and 40, depending on how many people are in the server. This number is their "client number")

Then type clientkick and their number. Like this:
clientkick 3 (3 being the person you want to kick!!!)

I would recommend using wolf-man's second suggestion. If you the admin then use the status command. Then kick the disruptive player by his client number . Much easier and less of a hassle when spaces are present.

cheers folks.

I'm not the client, it's just I play regularly on a no rocket server, and there's always someone who finds it funny to use them. When no admin is around, people just moan without being able to do anything about it.

Just to 2nd what Wolf said: The cmd callvote kick player will work UNLESS the player has a space in their name. If they do, you MUST use the " " around the player's name, otherwise it's just looking for the first word to boot.
