string manipulation i/o and proper orientation order

Hello community! today i want to share with you a chunk of code written by me, it's main purpose and usage is to mention player's in game globally to know to whom the player is speaking to, the issue i have and concerned about is i cannot proceed further, that is why i have posted here all in relation with pawn scripting section to ask for help from more experienced codders/scripters.

The thing/'s i am concerned about:

Code:
public OnPlayerText(playerid, text[])

{

      switch(text[1])

      {

           case '@': // case the player has inputted symbol '@' 

           {

                // sending a client message to the playerid, mainly for its usage.

                // `sscanf` proccssed

                if(sscanf(text, "us[96]", targetid, message))

                {

                     SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "mention player: \'@\' <id> message");

                     return 0;

                }

           }

      }

      return 0;

}

1. Retrieving both playerid and targetid name - Pending
2. coloring - Ready
3. checking each position on input (after the symbol '@' checking id from 0 to 100) - No idea how to check position
4. formating and sending the message - have it

missing some vital functions and organizing/hooking them.

Best Regard's to everyone

Try this;

Code:
public OnPlayerText(playerid, text[])

{

    if(text[0] == '@')

    {

        new targetid, message[130], message2[130], targetname[MAX_PLAYER_NAME], name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];

        strdel(text, 0, 1);

        if(sscanf(text, "us[130]", targetid, message2))

            return SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "mention player: \'@\' <id> message"), 0;

        if(!IsPlayerConnected(targetid))

            return SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "This player not connected."), 0;

        GetPlayerName(playerid, name, MAX_PLAYER_NAME);

        GetPlayerName(targetid, targetname, MAX_PLAYER_NAME);

        format(message, sizeof(message), "%s: @%s - %s", name, targetname, message2);

        SendClientMessageToAll(-1, message);

        return 0;

    }

    return 1;

}

Better yet, you can use something like this in sscanf to search for `@` and get the ID at the same time:

Code:
'@'u
