Userid

A userid is a unique integer given to each player who connects to a server. Numbers are assigned sequentially, starting from 1, and never re-used.

IDs are chiefly used to identify players in events.

Warning:It can be easy to confuse a player's ID with their entity index, as until someone disconnects from the server they will be in sync.

Usage

IDs are assigned by the engine, and cannot be changed.

• engine->GetPlayerUserId(edict_t*)
• player_info_t::userid
• IPlayerInfo::GetUserID()
