Find a person by their SteamID

[ZomgNoWai]

I need a clientside script that will take a steamid i provide it, and find the player that it belongs to.

Im not a lua coder, but i can understand enough to cope in occasions. My attempt doesnt seem to work like i need it

[lua]

function FindPlayer()
for _, v in ipairs( player.GetAll() ) do
if( player:SteamID() == "STEAMID" ) then
print( v:SteamID().."'s name is: "..v:Nick() )
end
end

[/lua]

Could someone assist me?

[lua]
function FindPlayer(ply,cmd,args)
if not args[1] then return false end
for _, v in ipairs( player.GetAll() ) do
if( v:SteamID() == args[1] ) then
ply:ChatPrint("Player Found - "..v:Nick())
end
end
end
concommand.Add("FindPlayer",FindPlayer)
[/lua]

You run FindPlayer steamid and it prints the players nick to chat only if they are in the server.
Basically thejjokerr's code but modified.

Theres this cool new thing where if you type status in the console, it brings up all the steamids of the people in the server.

[lua]function FindPlayer( id )
if not tostring(id) then return; end
for _, v in ipairs( player.GetAll() ) do
if( string.find(v:SteamID(), tostring(id)) )then
print( v:SteamID().."'s name is: " .. v:Nick() )
end
end
end
[/lua]
Easy as it is.

FindPlayer("790467")

Why would he need to put in a fragment of SteamID?

[lua]
function FindPlayer( id )
if not tostring(id) then return; end
for _, v in ipairs( player.GetAll() ) do
if v:SteamID() == id then
return v
end
end
end

--With that function you can do more stuff

FindPlayer("STEAM_blabla"):Kill()
print(FindPlayer("STEAM_blabla"):Nick())
[/lua]

[Freze]

Touché. That'll do it too. But yeah. I still prefer to use string.find if you don't know all of the id.

[Loures]

But when you do a lookup with SteamID, you're supposed to know the whole SteamID.

[Freze]

Yeah. Funny thing is, You don't always.

Or cba to type the STEAM_ part

Another possibility.. Oh you lazy bastards today :-)
