Send a message to a user using the username

[dieffe]

The only ways i found in the docs to send a message to a user are based on the CHANNEL or the ID.

Can i send a message using only the unique username? Something like:

_server.sendResponse(response,fromRoom,sender,recipient as String)

The only way i found is to get all the user in the room:

var zone = _server.getCurrentZone();
var main=zone.getRoom(1);
var utenti=main.getAllUsers()

cycle trough those user and find the one with the username i am looking for, get a user object from this and then send the message using the id.

Seem pretty inefficient to me.

Is there a better way?

zone.GetUserByName(string Name);

Mmmm

TypeError: Cannot find function GetUserByName.

try getUserByName(); no intellisense for you?

Is there a case-insensitive version of getUserByName()?

Methods, functions, variables etc... are always case sensitive.

I mean, with our login sys we don't allow 2 users to login with the same name but different case.

like username vs UserName, we consider that to be the same user.

so when i'm using getUserByName() it only works when i enter the name with the right case, so I was wondering if there was one that was case-insensitive.

ah, sorry, didn't get it
Anyways no, the system is not case insensitive.

What would be the best way to find a user based on their case-insensitive username?

Iterate through all the users and compare? or would there be a better way?

[Lapo]

yes, there's no other way I can think of
