mouse -> ID

[Jimmii]

you pass a players ID into with(allplayers(i)) do you not?

how would i say, get this ID # from a player when i say, click on them... i don't think its testplayer, because that gets index...

[Termina_Owner]

NPC Code:

---

with (players[i])



with (allplayers[i])



testplayer(x,y)

---

All players ID can't be found unless you check the logs (Alt+0) for when the player entered:

Added player Termina_Owner (id: 2)

Clear?

Nope. Allplayers takes a global index that is different from both the local index and the player ID.
Player IDs are not neccessarily sequential, because if a player with a lower ID logs off, the higher ones to not change their ID. Thus, you could not do for (i = 0; i < allplayerscount; i ++) ...
If you want to find a certain player, you can use testplayer to get his index, then use that index with #a() to get his account name, and use with (getplayer()).

Erm... Global Player ID is shown in two places: Log Frame, and RC.

But programming-speaking, the only way would be doing the for loop with allplayerscount, which would produce somewhat a lot of lag.

Would be easier if we could use mousex/y serverside.

You could do

NPC Code:

---

with (players[testplayer(mousex,mousey)])

---

if it was serverside.

I suppose you could check for mousedown on the clientside, triggeraction the mouse coordinates, then do

NPC Code:

---

with players[testplayer(strtofloat(#p(0)),strtofloat(#p(1)))])

---

[Termina_Owner]

Erm.. Save work for serverside: Send the value of testplayer.

NPC Code:

---

with (players[strtofloat(#p(0)))

//#CLIENTSIDE

triggeraction 0,0,serverside,#w,#v(testplayer(mousex,mousey));

---

Though, that's ineffective: It'll send when the index is -1.

[Duwul]

So check that id != -1

A player's index is not guaranteed to be the same serverside and clientside. Use playerid and loop again, or just pass the mouse coordinates.
