Not true. If there was one userid for every steamid, then what would even be the point of having them at all, as you could just use the steamid instead. I think it was already explained pretty clearly here how userids work.

You don't either. Userids have nothing to do with Steam ids.

Thats my point if anyone can have special id in each server, mostly like shortcut instead of using steamid.

Explain what you are trying to do and we'll help you do that. If userid makes sense for the context, we'll be able to give you some idea of how to use it. Otherwise, we'll try to give you a better solution.

A Steam ID does not change if the player leaves the server and comes back. A userID does. A user id indexes connections, the steam id indexes accounts. They are completely different. It's not a "shortcut."

What i said that usersid should be indexed with steamid, thats mean each player will have special userid.

For example just like on the forums when you registered you increment members with +1, and you will have constant id.

That would cause user IDs to be reused if a player joined the server, disconnected, and then rejoined. It defeats the purpose of the userID. We don't want a player's user ID to be unchanged upon reconnect.

If you want something "constant" to the account, then just use the Steam ID.

@fyksen, i was trying some experiment..like if its possible to catch player leaving and entering again, with userid parameter..but after reading the thread,im not sure its possible haha

Well, you're doing something wrong, are you using %s to print an integer?
