    new name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME + 1];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, name, sizeof(name));

## Notes

примечание

A player's name can be up to 24 characters long by using [SetPlayerName](https://omp.itsneufox.com/ru/docs/scripting/functions/SetPlayerName). This is defined as `MAX_PLAYER_NAME`. However, the client can only join with a nickname between 3 and 20 characters, otherwise the connection will be rejected and the player has to quit to choose a valid name.
