deleting a username from a server list

[grayhuskie53]

I recently made a server and chat client, and everything works fine except that if someone tries to disconnect, the name doesn't disappear for some reason..

I have a list of users all set up on my server, but if someone disconnects or closes their client, the name on the server list doesn't disappear. I've tried...

+ User: On User Left
(under the list)
- Delete line FindStringExact("List", PCU_GetName$("Mooclick"),1)

and

On the client:
+ Close windows has been selected
(under Mooclick)
- Player: Send P_GetName$("Mooclick") on subchannel 13 to Server
(under Storyboard Controls)
- End the application

On the server:
+ Connection: On Client Message
+ SC_OnClientMsg_GetSubchannel("Mooclick") = 13
(under the list)
- Delete line FindStringExact("List", SC_OnClientMsg_GetText$("Mooclick"),0)

Anybody know what's wrong?

1. There is no guarantee the message on sub-channel 13 will be sent.
2. Perhaps do a check for disconnection event on the server and remove the person with that name, and mix that with semi-regular pinging to detect disconnection.

Hang on, are subchanel messages sent on UDP? how can you send a TCP message?

+ User: On User Left
(under the list)
- Delete line FindStringExact("List", PCU_GetName$("Mooclick"),1)

Isn't that checking to see if they disconnected?

On user left: Delete line FindStringExact("List", PCU_GetName$("Mooclick"),0)
... or does it not matter?

EDIT, You code is wrong!!

Connection: On Disconnect
+ FindStringExact( "Userlist", SC_GetName$( "MooClick" ), 0)

Find Condition under: Server->Connection->On Disconnect.
