playerindex

[BBflat]

Gah, help, I can't get the index of other players! testplayer(x,y) works great to get MY index which will always be 0, but it doesn't get anybody else's index. What do I need to do to get somebody else's index?? Sorry about all these questions lately.

The way I like to do it is like this:

NPC Code:

---

if (playerchats && startswith(/get , #c)) {

this.player = -1;

 for ( i=0; i<playerscount; i++ ) {

  if (strequals(#a(i), #e(5,-1,#c))) {this.player = i; i=playerscount;}

 }

 if (this.player == -1)

setplayerprop #c, the player is not on the level;

 else

setplayerprop #c, the player's index if #v(this.player);

}

---

The way this works is the player says: "/get <account>" and if the player is on the level it returns their index. There are many ways to get indexes though, like useing mouse vars you can use an in with a for loop...
