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

Icon-Bug.pngBug: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!

Mapping

Using trigger_ brushes and !activator, !player, or !pvsplayer keywords, you can access player entities. Some of these functions can be called using input/output systems.
