How to identify players

How can you identify which player is what? For example, I would like to kick a certain player from the server or change the value of one of his variables but to do that I need to identify who it is. I have heard of something called network ID but I'm not sure what that is or what I do with it.

(Unity answers is not working so I cannot search there).

 

Using the NetworkPlayer object.

 

you can simply create a script called InitPlayer and assign it to each player prefab, and implement this in the script

Code (csharp):

1. public class InitPlayer : MonoBehaviour {
2.  
3.     public string id;
4.  
5.     void OnNetworkInstantiate(NetworkMessageInfo info)
6.     {
7.           if (networkView.isMine)                             // if i'm the owner of this player prefab
8.           {
9.                   id = Network.player.ToString();        // assign the id
10.                                                                               // reflect the id assignment to all networked players
11.                   networkView.RPC("SetPlayerInfo", RPCMode.OthersBuffered, id);
12.           }
13.      }
14.  
15.      [RPC]
16.      void SetPlayerInfo(string _id)
17.      {
18.          id = _id;
19.      }
20. }

now u can refer to each player with his public id field, u can also force each client to enter his name before connecting to server and sending his name to all connected players the same way

 

Thank you.
