The line "if (!playerInfo) ..." is just my short hand for saying "I'm
doing error checking here, so don't worry playerInfo is non-null past
here". I should have made that more clear.
The problem was that I was using the wrong entityindex (0) as Ronny pointed out.
I must admin I don't quite see how it works:
My entityindex is 1
playerInfo->GetUserID() return 2
What is in entityindex 0? as engine->PEntityOfEntIndex(0) returns
non-null but dies in pain when you try and do stuff with it.
