Scoreboard query for two players

Post by RAX »

I'm trying to compose some queries to display the Head2Head fights in K6

My problem is that I'm not able to select the exact 2 players that are fighting.
I thought I could make a request similar to multiple romset requests, inserting a string like (Nanni,RAX@AIVA) into player variable
I tried in some ways, using (), using ^$, and some combinations of them. No success.
Is it possible a thing like this or is it forbidden by the scoreboard's cgi implementation?

A simple way to jump the problem would be changing temporarily one of the two names: for example if I change my name from "RAX@AIVA" to "RAX@AIVA vs Nanni" I could find both my score and Nanni's simply searching for "Nanni", but I don't really like a way like this, furthermore it would work for me only, and not for all the other couples of players.

Any ideas?

You are doing an extremely useful work with your site, and I look at it every time I check the situation. :!:

But I had this problem in AIVAvsJVRM, I had it again in K5, now I don't want to continue wondering if it's possible or not to make a multiplayer query :(

If it won't be possible (as I fear), I'll change my name adding " (vs Nanni)". For this week only, justo to make at least my personal query working :wink:
