The Playerlist in XAseco are accessible in several ways, here i want to show you (hopefully) all possible ways:

// Bail out if there are no Players
if ( empty($aseco->server->players->player_list) ) {
	return;
}
		

$amount = count($aseco->server->players->player_list);
		

$login = 'han_solo';
if ( !isset($aseco->server->players->player_list[$login]) ) {
	// Bail out if the Player left the Server
	return;
}
		

$login = 'han_solo';
foreach ($aseco->server->players->player_list as &$player) {
	if ($player->login == $login) {
		// Do something...
	}
}
unset($player);
		

$login = 'han_solo';
$player = $aseco->server->players->player_list[$login];
		

With this $player object you can access the Nickname, the Database-Id (for using it in a SQL-Query) and many more of this Player:

$nick = $player->nickname;
$dbid = $player->id;
		

To see all possible variables, just dump the whole $player object into the logfile from XAseco:

$aseco->console( var_dump($player) );
		

If you only need the Database-Player-Id from a $login, then you can use this, instead of copy the whole Player object (which is huge!):

$login = 'han_solo';
$dbid = $aseco->getPlayerId($login);
		

Sometimes it is required to figure out if the calling Player is a Operator, Admin or MasterAdmin. For such situations there are functions they know it.

Functions which require only the $login from a Player:

Functions which require the whole $player object:

All of the above functions are returning true or false

Each Player can be a Player or a Spectator, in several situations it is required, that some of your Widgets are hidden if the Player is a Spectator to not overlay some of the in-game Widgets.

if ($player->isspectator == 1) {
	// Hide Widget...
}
		

The event onPlayerInfoChanged is fired everytime when there are changes at the Player. With this event you are able to interact on temporary Spectator changes, because with the above you can only find PureSpectator:

function demo_onPlayerInfoChanged ($aseco, $changes) {
	// Catch all Spectators (e.g.: Spectator, TemporarySpectator or PureSpectator)
	if ($changes['SpectatorStatus'] > 0) {
		// Hide Widget...
	}
	else {
		// Show Widget...
	}
}
