I tried searching for the answer, but as you can imagine searching for "player" is pretty hard to sift through.

http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Team_Fortress_2_Events

Sometimes its player instead of userid, for example teamplay_teambalanced_player

How can I do a GetClientOfUserId on this value? Better question is, what is "player" ? I tried and it never returns anything. If I just print out the results of GetEventInt(event, "player") I actually do get something that looks unique to the player.

/**
* Translates an userid index to the real player index.
*
* @param userid Userid value.
* @return Client value.
* @error Returns 0 if invalid userid.
*/
native GetClientOfUserId(userid);

in css, type status in console
# userid name uniqueid connected ping loss state
# 1254 "me" STEAM_0:1xx 43:53 86 0 active

red colour is a userid,
real player index must >0 and < 64(or <=64?)

download any sourcemod plugin, look at the source code, most plugins include that

in "teamplay_teambalanced_player", "player" = "userid", it need to translate to real player index.

Close. The client index must be between 1 and the max number of clients available on the server (16/24/32/64/etc).

So how do I translate "real player index" into userid?
I already looked at another plugin that used teamplay_teambalanced_player, and they seemed to just GetEventInt on userid like normal, but I dont know for sure if that worked for them anyway. It was the class limits plugin. Its sure not working for me.

Here is my plugin:

HookEvent("achievement_earned",LogAchievement);

public LogAchievement(Handle:event,const String:name[],bool:dontBroadcast) {

decl String:pname[64];

// doing "player" instead of userid on the next line didnt help either
new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));

// Get the name of the player from "client"
GetClientName(client, pname, sizeof(pname));

new achievement = GetEventInt(event, "achievement");

LogMessage("\tplayer %s\tachievement %d",pname,achievement);
}

It keeps printing the hostname of the server for pname.
After I get that working, I was going to look up how to match the achievement numbers with the names, I'll post a list on the wiki when I can figure that out.

And here is a snippit from MaxClass.sp:

HookEvent("teamplay_teambalanced_player", PlayerTeamBalanced);

public Action:PlayerTeamBalanced(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast){
        if(!isrunning)
                return;

        if(!GetConVarBool(IsMaxPlayersOn))
                return;

        new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));

...

"player" is just the name they assigned to the integer. Using GetEventInt will give you said integer, which points to a client's userid (or possibly their clientid).

Thanks for helping me with this guys.

I found the problem, I didn't know what a client id looked like, the 1-32 number, so all I had to do is not run it through GetClientOfUserId

new client = GetEventInt(event, "player");

And now I can just GetClientName on that all day and get good stuff.
Thanks!
