playerid - unique or not and how to find

Hi, i've searched the forums and can't find my answer so looking for a quick fix here. I need to find playerid's for the inventory script by John C but since i'm creating it in a new campaign as recommended will i need my players to join first to get their id's or are playerid's unique and the ones i can get from my existing campaign will be the same as when the join the 'inventory campaign'? Also, how can i get the id's, i've tried !playerid as suggested in another thread but don't get anything back from it? Thanks for any help!!

that being said, i think i misread. I don't think i need the playerid for the inventory script but my questions still stand, are they unique across campaigns and how do i get them?

This is an API question so I'm moving it to the appropiate forum.

playerid is unique to the campaign, the same player will have a different id on each campaign they are a part of. You can access the playerid from the player object. This code will print the names and ids of all the players in a campaign on startup: on('ready',function(){ 'use strict'; var players=findObjs({_type:'player'}); _.each(players,function (obj){ log('Player '+obj.get('displayname')+' has id: '+obj.get('id')); }); });

If a player changes their display name after the id is generated it won't change the id i'm assuming...? Ps. Aaron, I love you. Now to get rid of the unexpected identifier i keep getting in the inventory script :D

PS I love you too Aaron
