Help!

[Hugos]

I have such a system for oral ID to the player:

		function getIDFromPlayer(player)
			if player then
				local theid
				players = getElementsByType("player")
				for id,p in ipairs(players) do
					if player == p then
						theid = i
				end
			end
			return theid
		else return false end
		end

Please help. I need to make sure that every player is assigned an ID at spawn. But I now work a little off-line (when the player comes out with id 1, the player with id 2, assigned id 1, but I need this player to have id 2 left, and the one who comes in - established id 1-n  (is not busy) ).

The player list is dynamic. The location of the players in the table is changing when players are leaving.

 

Player list (table)

local players = getElementsByType("player")

 

New players are added on the back of the table.

players = {
 [1] = player1, [2] = player2, [3] = player3 
}

players[4] = player4

players = {
 [1] = player1, [2] = player2, [3] = player3, [4] = player4
}

 

 

Leaving players are collapsing the list.

players = {
 [1] = player1, [2] = player2, [3] = player3, [4] = player4
}

table.remove(players, 1) -- player1 is leaving

players = {
 [1] = player2, [2] = player3, [3] = player4
}

If you want to generate IDs, you have to make sure they are always unique.

do -- < Closed environment for the variable: id. Nothing can edit it, except for the newId function.
	local id = 0
	function newId()
		id = id + 1
		return id
	end
end

local playerIDs = {}

function getIDFromPlayer(player)
	local id = playerIDs[player]
	if not id then
		id = newId()
		playerIDs[player] = id
	end
	return id
end

Note, this table doesn't clean it self, yet.

I didn 't get it a little bit. Then how should the function fully look?

With:

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnPlayerQuit

Players that left the server, are still inside of the playerIDs table.

playerIDs[source] = nil
