(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This is really old, and a built in function. IW made things for reason but I see silly scripts to get the host name. (or host ent for that matter)

Just use this:

    

/#level.host_ent = GetEntByNum( 0 );#/

You need the /# as it's a dev command. 0 is always the host entity. Congratulations.

Nice, But Why Has isHost(), So Why Not Just Use That?

they are two different things.

isHost() checks if the entity that called that function is host.

This gets the entity.. for example:

/#level.host_ent = GetEntByNum( 0 );#/
elem setText( level.host_ent.name );

well level.hostname works the same and i believe less characters.

EDIT: Then yet again with what you posted you can do elem setText( level.host_ent getName() );

So No Clantag Winky Winky

like:

    

onPlayerSpawned()

{

for(;

{

self waittill("spawned_player");

self thread PlayerBullshit();

level.host_ent thread HostShit();

}

}
