View source for UTIL PlayerByIndex

{{DISPLAYTITLE:UTIL_PlayerByIndex}}
This function will return a [[CBasePlayer]] [[pointer]] to an [[entity]] based on the networked entity index which is passed in as a first parameter. The [[edict]] indices in the range 1 to gpGlobals->maxClients are reserved for players; all networked, non-player entities will be assigned to an index higher than gpGlobals->maxClients.

== Usage ==
<source lang=cpp>
CBasePlayer *UTIL_PlayerByIndex( int entindex );
</source>

== Examples ==
The following code can be used to safely iterate all player entities:
<source lang=cpp>
for ( int i = 1; i <= gpGlobals->maxClients; i++ )
{
	CBasePlayer *pPlayer = UTIL_PlayerByIndex(i);
	if (!pPlayer || !pPlayer->IsPlayer())
		continue;
	[...]
}
</source>
