something that I still dont understand is the handling of userid. if I use for example GetClientOfUserId(i) and GetClientOfUserId(target) it does NOT return the userid displayed when you type "status" in console.

In SM documentation it says that GetClientOfUserId "Translates an userid index to the real player index". Could you quickly explain me what exactly it does?

If I define i:

        new maxClients = GetMaxClients();        
        for (new i = 1; i < maxClients; i++)

How would you get the userid of "i" for ex.?

That returns the client index. You are looking for GetClientUserId().

Also...As of SM 1.2 you can just use MaxClients. Theres no reason to use GetMaxClients() anymore.

ok thanks, but I can get the client name of "i" with:

GetClientName(i, playerName, sizeof(playerName));

where is the userid?

btw: Maybe there is something that I completely ignore ;)

Im not exactly sure what you are trying to do. In your code, "i" would be the player index, so doing GetClientUserId(i) would return the client's userid.

right thanks, the return can obviously not be print to chat:

PrintToChat(target, "That is the userid: %s", GetClientUserId(i));

[CrimsonGT]

GetClientUserId(i) returns an index, so you need %d (an integer value), not %s (a string)

omg thats it. Much thanks CrimsonGT!

You're missing the last client, that should be <= not <
