Kolmain 6 Posted September 13, 2013 Hi everyone! Whats the best way to identify a player via scripting? The playerID might change if the player reinstalls the game or creates a new profile. Is there a better way maybe a GUID? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kolmain 6 Posted September 13, 2013 So the playerUID is the best route? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonygrunt 10 Posted September 13, 2013 Maybe I am missing something but isn't the player ID the steam account ID (steamID64)? The only way to change it, is to use another steam account which owns the game. Reinstalling or making a new profile won't change the player ID. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reinstalling or making a new profile won't change the player ID. No it still uses ARMA's PUID. If you make a new profile, you get a new PUID. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonygrunt 10 Posted September 13, 2013 Are we not talking about the player ID in profile menu? Because that number is always the same for me and I made 3 profiles. Are you talking about battleye GUIDs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zatan13th 10 Posted September 14, 2013 try arma2net and force player to register to database. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
columdrum 11 Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) No it still uses ARMA's PUID. If you make a new profile, you get a new PUID. Are you sure about that?, as far as i know player UID in arma2 is asociated with your CD-Key, for sure. Haven't checked it yet on A3, but i guess it should be the same. The major problem about the playerID its that can be easilly modified by hackers while battleye GUIDs are a lot of harder, if not imposible to spoof. About retieving the GUI, there was an attemp by BI to create a new scripting command to retieve them but the command was never finished Edited September 14, 2013 by columdrum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
