IPlayerInfo

IPlayerInfo is an interface used to access server information about connected users from other libraries. It is accessed through an IPlayerInfoManager global.

Note:A player's info is only available when they are active (usually meaning spawned) in the world. Before this time access attempts will fail, which can be problematic if your plugin is loading or unpausing mid-game as you may have missed ClientConnect() calls. INetChannelInfo provides some information, but otherwise...

Todo: solution?

Example

#include "game/server/iplayerinfo.h"

static IPlayerInfoManager* playerinfomanager; // recommended

bool CMyServerPlugin::Load(CreateInterfaceFn interfaceFactory, CreateInterfaceFn gameServerFactory)
{
	playerinfomanager = (IPlayerInfoManager*)gameServerFactory(INTERFACEVERSION_PLAYERINFOMANAGER,NULL);
	if (!playerinfomanager)
	{
		Warning("Could not access IPlayerInfoManager!\n");
		return false;
	}
	
	IPlayerInfo* info = playerinfomanager->GetPlayerInfo(engine->PEntityOfEntIndex(1)); // first player
	if (info)
		Msg("Player 1 is %s, with %i health\n",info->GetName(),info->GetHealth());
	else
		Msg("Player 1 has not spawned\n");
		
	return true;
}
