I didn't think it was.

How are you sure it's an RC?

Yea, a little bit of code / variable output would be beneficial.

PHP Code:
  else if (player.chat.starts("/focus")) {
    player.chat.tokenize();
    if (tokens[1] == "self")
      this.cameraFocus = player;
    else if (tokens[1])
      this.cameraFocus = getPlayer(tokens[1]) == -1 ? player : getPlayer(tokens[1]);
  } 
was using findplayer(tokens[1]) in this code. It is supposed to setfocus on the player in tokens[1]. However, when I used findplayer() I was having a slight problem. It was recognizing the other player's existence, but it wasn't getting the x or y values right. They remained constant at 30.5,30. When I asked the player to log off RC, the script with findplayer() worked. I just used a for loop function getPlayer i made to cycle through the players array for the level. Solved the problem. But should findplayer() really find RCs? would seem proper for it to cycle over them.

The ''players' array only draws from the players in the current level, so you can use that for referencing. It won't get an RC.

PHP Code:
gotten = players[players.index(tokens[1])];
setfocus(gotten.x, gotten.y);

It is possible that findplayer clientside acts different from findplayer serverside (I am assuming that the script is clientside, since you are setting focus).

If that is the case, then it looks like Yen provides a good alternative.

On clientside findplayer returns all possible players from the player list, so also 'virtual' players like people on other servers, or irc channels. May be you can check for the level of the player to check if its an actual player walking around somewhere.

couldn't really have done that since I wanted to return the actual player rather than the rc of the player. Just used players[i] cycle instead.

Maybe the client should return normal players in priority over virtual players?

Yes that would make sense
