SteamID

[tazy4tazy]

Right, so I know how to get players names serverside using ply:GetName()
But I cant get there name using GetSteamID(), probably because it doesnt exists, any other way of getting steamid serverside?

P.S

ply:SteamID() isnt working either

It clearly does work, it've always been doing that for me. Where are you trying to use it?

How do I get the name of a weapon?
Like is it weapon:GetName() ?

weapon: is the weapon entity, yes.

Why don't you go check out the wiki? It's explained somewhere there.

Do you mean the print name (what you see in weapon selection)?

If so, there's a nifty little function,
[lua]local t = weapons.Get( class )[/lua]

which will return the weapon's default table. For example, it'll have stuff like t.WorldModel, t.PrintName etc.

So, you'd use
[lua]weapons.Get( weapon:GetClass() ).PrintName[/lua]

I don't know if theres any other way, but the way I've done it is by calling
[lua]weapons.Get(Classname).PrintName[/lua]
Note that this doesn't work on c++ weapons like physgun or any hl2 gun.

Right, im gonna paste some code here

[lua]
function ******( victim, killer, weapon ) -- victim, weapon, killer
print(weapon)
end

hook.Add( "PlayerDeath", "******", ******* )
[/lua]
I starred some code out because its a secwet pwoject.

When I use that it prints, player

Weapon and killer are not always given eg. they can be nil, also I have NEVER EVER seen someone censoring their code, thats just low.
