Where does this character come from!?

[ÄitisOnHuora]

public OnPlayerText(playerid, text[])
{
    if(text[0] == '(')
    {
        new string[128];
        new sendername[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
        GetPlayerName(playerid, sendername, sizeof(sendername));
        format(string, sizeof(string), "%s:(( %s ))", sendername, text);
        ProxDetector(20.0, playerid, string,COLOR_FADE1,COLOR_FADE2,COLOR_FADE3,COLOR_FADE4,COLOR_FADE5);
    }
    return 0;
}

If i do for example: (hello!

It gives me this: Name_Name( ( hello! ))

Instead it should be like this: Name_Name( hello! ))


Wtf, where that extra "(" comes from?

I'm no scripter, but isn't it just taking the entire input and placing it within the (( )) in the string?
The entire input being "(hello" would mean the "(" got put inside also, no?

When you start a message with "(" yes.

You should use text[1], instead of text at
format(string, sizeof(string), "%s( %s ))", sendername, text);

I tried, text[1]. Now it is like this:

Name_Name: (hello!

Try text[2]
And it does the ( because your getting the text from the player,
And players text contains ( so thats why you see it,
But yeah try text[2]

if(text[0] == '(')
{
  ...
  format(string, sizeof(string), "%s:(( %s ))", sendername, text[1]);
  ...
}

Hes already done that if you read his post,

I think he put text[1] in every place.

Even in this line:
if(text[0] == '(')

Which is why it doesn't work.

Still same effect:

Name_Name: ( hello!
