[Request] getPlayerGUID / getPlayerIP Scripting Commands
New, NormalPublic

Description

Simple enough. I'm capable of using server-specific logging to track actions performed in-game (based on client-executed scripts writing logs to database), but short of using BattlEye to update the GUID based on playername (which can result in conflicts when more than one player using the same name is on the server), there's no way to pass a BattlEye-ready variable from a client to an outside program/log.

I'd like to be able to write a GUID/IP based on an engine command to be automatically parsed and sent to BattlEye.

For Example:
format["%1 violated rule #(x). Writing log to ban. : %1|%2|%3",name player, getPlayerGUID player, getPlayerIP player]

This could then be read by a program on the server machine to pass "PlayerName [bantime] GUID" and/or "PlayerName [bantime] "IP" to BattleEye and automatically ban the player for whatever parameters are defined.

It's a bit of an odd request I'm sure, and I would imagine the IP command isn't desirable for security reasons. But I can still ask.

Specific uses would be for something such as a function to add experience (fn_addXP). If malicious players utilizing some BE bypass method were executing this to script-inject themselves experience.

I could change my *actual* function to fn_addEXP, and have fn_addXP cause the player to write a log to the database with something to the extent of "I'm using cheats to access an outdated function, ban me!"

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/getPlayerUID returns the SteamID. That might be useful.

@dedmen I'm specifically looking for a client command that returns the calculated GUID and not the Steam PlayerID.

PHP script

function s64toGuid($int) {
 $temp = '';
 for ($i = 0; $i < 8; $i++) {
 $temp .= chr($int & 0xFF);
 $int >>= 8;
 }
 $guid = md5('BE' . $temp);
 return $guid;
 }

Getting MD5 in SQF would probably be the hardest part. But if you only need that Serverside you can just make your own extension to do it for you
