Check if entity is a player

LightningZLaser · **Author**

I'm making a prop spawning script which includes a function deleting the prop. I successfully made a delete function which deletes entities, but the problem is that it also deletes the bots when I was testing.

So, how do I make it to check if an entity index is a client?

Thx.

0 < entity < 33 usually.

use "<= MaxClients" not "< 33" as games like css can have up to 64 players.

PHP Code:


			
if ( (1 <= clientID <= MaxClients) ) // IsValidClient

if ( !(1 <= clientID <= MaxClients) ) // Is Invalid :D

Neither of those will work. (You'll have to split it in two with ANDs)

Why ? :0

PHP Code:


			
if (1 <= clientID && clientID <= MaxClients) // IsValidClient
if (!(1 <= clientID && clientID <= MaxClients)) // Is Invalid :D

Why the hell I need to do so? :0
If it's easier by my way :0

Try to compile your way, you'll see

Here I'm using in my code

PHP Code:


			
bool:IsValidClient( client )

{

    if ( !( 1 <= client <= MaxClients ) || !IsClientInGame(client) )

        return false;

    

    return true;

}

Works like a charm
