Don't know if you meant Nick, UniqueID or SteamID, but here goes:

To get a players SteamID, we use Ply:steamID()
To get a players UniqueID, we use Ply:id()
To get a players Nick, we use Ply:name()

Now try make something yourself, and we will correct the code if you get errors.

its not this

What is UniqueID? Is that like one's player number on the server? Does it stay the same throughout different play sessions like SteamID?

[Matte]

In my last post, talking about uniqueID, I meant E:id(), which gives you the numeric ID of an entity. It does not stay the same. It's based off which order entities are spawned, I guess.

That's probably not possible unless it is what :id() returns, which I seriously doubt.

[ahref]

you dont need this. use their name steam id or entity id

Why shouldn't it be possible? :huh:

I made a function which works.

The Lua function Player.UserID() returns the ID you want. The ID which is increased by one for each player who joins. This E2 function returns that ID. If the entity is not a player, it returns 0.

E:userID()

e2function number entity:userID()
	if !this:IsPlayer() then return 0 end
	return this:UserID()
end
