New Bot coming to town

Haha, I don’t have any intentions on it stopping any fun, only expanding on and adding to the pre-existing roleplay.

I am having a little bit of an issue with the way that the characters data is stored and retrieved at the moment as I am struggling to get a characters ID from their username. While I could in fact just use the character name, not the ID. I think it could be a pain for players that may often change their name.

If anybody knows a solution I would be thankful, I posted a question [here]{How to get a characters ID from their character name} but I managed to word it terribly which resulted in a bit of confusion in the replys. So if anyone would be able to give me a little further help I would be very grateful.

I believe this should be possible in the same way as a mail command, also player’s character ID’s are sent to all listening characters when anything is said so I don’t believe that it is something that only an administrator can get a hold of as it’s public information.

So if @farcaller or maybe even @Accipiter (I don’t want to bother you too much) could lend another hint? I don’t really understand JavaScript so I don’t entirely know how to find the anwser myself, all be it I have tried.
