Rename command

[Shooterman56]

I am trying to give players the command to rename themselves. I've hit a bit of a road block can't figure out what's missing here.

Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -rename as A substring
Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -rename as A substring
Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -rename as A substring
Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -rename as A substring
Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -rename as A substring
Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -rename as A substring
Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -rename as A substring
Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -rename as A substring
Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing -rename as A substring
Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing -rename as A substring
Conditions
(Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 9)) Equal to -rename
Actions
Player - Set name of (Triggering player) to (Substring((Entered chat string), 10, 20))


Thanks in advance

If you want it to work just do it like this:

Why your doesnt work? -> The condition that you set is wrong

Substring takes part of a string (In this case (Entered chat string)) and you have to tell it where it is, -rename is made of 7 symbols so you have to set it to 1, 7

Setting the name must be at least one symbol away from the command unless you want players to type it like -renameWorldEdit or if you type
-rename WorldEdit then you will have a space behind your name.

Wrong

Correct

Hopefully you understand Good luck.

Actually, "19" or "20" should be changed to "length of entered chat string"
Also if you check for 1-8 make sure you have a space at the end

Good idea however for names, it is better to set a hard limit so people won't have obnoxiously long names that can block the screen. Especially assuming Shooterman56's map is for 10 people it seems like.
