CBasePlayer

Stub

This article or section is a stub. You can help by expanding it.

CBasePlayer is the class from which all player classes should inherit. See also Category:CBasePlayer.

Bug:On the client, CBasePlayer is #define C_BasePlayer so that shared code works. Unfortunately, Visual Studio's Intellisense system (prior to 2010, which fixes this) is confused by this and will apply the #def even when you are looking at the server: you'll keep getting sent to C_BasePlayer when looking up references, definitions, and so on. This issue doesn't affect the compiler, thankfully!  [todo tested in ?]
