BNGetFriendInfo issue

Code:

-- get number of online friends

local _,num=BNGetNumFriends()



-- cycle through friends to find "Bob"

for i=1,num do

    local id,name=BNGetFriendInfo(i)

    if (name=="Bob") then

        BNSendWhisper(id, "Hi Bob!")

    else

        print("Bob is not online.")

    end

end

Even if Bob is online, it never sends him the message and goes to "Bob is not online." Any ideas?

If you save the name to a saved variable you'll find it's for all intents and purposes, junk. You should use the BattleTagId.

Swapped to compare this instead and works as intended. Thanks! :banana:
