A quick search for GetPlayerForUserID shows that it is in the client code
and part of the IVEngineClient class. You can't use client-side code on the
server.
I use something like this:
// return player edict for a userid
edict_t *DBUtils::EdictOfUserId( int UserId )
{
int i;
edict_t *pEnt;
for (i=0; i<MAX_CLIENTS; i++)
{
pEnt = m_Engine->PEntityOfEntIndex(i);
if (pEnt && !pEnt->IsFree())
{
if (FStrEq(pEnt->GetClassName(), "player"))
{
if (m_Engine->GetPlayerUserId(pEnt)==UserId)
{
return pEnt;
}
}
}
}
return NULL;
}
