Saving player name in gui?

[GoGoTauren]

How would i go about saving the player name in my gui load/save system? the way i'm doing it the integer ends up about 9 characters long.

Save the:

• First 3 letters of the name
• Last 3 letters of the name
• First, middle and last letter of the name
• Or just three letters in the name

You do not need to save more than three letters, else I will make the code too long

lol ... that system will be bugged ... if my name is : Azothrallos'naruu...... it couldn't save all name ... and if a player like : Azothrallis'naruu..... exists ... there will be a bug.

thanks MeKC for actually helping. I'll do that.
EDIT: ah even one letter ends up with like a 6 character long integer. Does anyone know like... a proper function to store the player name? or at least one letter..

Yes it won't be 100% water proof, but it will prevent alot of people stealing each others codes. The code will simple be too long if you save the whole name.

Why does it end up being 6 digits long? You can simple do like this:


a=fX
b=o4
c=Kc
d=LO
e=98
