This probably isn't useful to anyone, but I had to get the SteamID of other
players clientside - and couldn't find a way to do it (without networking
them from server)
But eventually I found a way to convert the FriendsID to a SteamID..
const char* C_GMOD_Player::GetNetworkIDString()
{
if ( !engine->GetPlayerInfo( entindex(), &m_SavedPlayerInfo ) )
{
return "NULL";
}
if ( !m_SavedPlayerInfo.friendsID )
return "NULL";
Q_snprintf( m_SavedPlayerInfo.guid, sizeof( m_SavedPlayerInfo.guid ) - 1,
"STEAM_0:%u:%u",
(unsigned int)(m_SavedPlayerInfo.friendsID % 2),
(unsigned int)(m_SavedPlayerInfo.friendsID / 2));
return m_SavedPlayerInfo.guid;
}
