Player IDs are unsigned integers used by the server and admins as an easy way to identify players and bots. IDs assignment , which is done by the server, starts at 1 (one), and each player that joins gets his own unique ID, the lowest possible. This means that the ID don't necessarily reflect the join order of players.

John joins the game - ID 1
Billy joins the game - ID 2
Sniper joins the game - ID 3
Billy leaves the game - ID 2 free for use
John joins the game - ID 2

To view player IDs while in-game, you have to press the "/" key and then F1. You will see the ID in the players board, to the left of the player's nickname. To get a player's ID when connected as admin, you'll need to parse the [[Refresh|refresh]] packet. When using scripting this is much easier, you use [[NameToID]].

When it comes to scripting, Player IDs are most commonly found as an unsigned char, which in pascal is byte (ranging from 0 to 255).

Admin programs that run commands on a server will count as ID being 255.
