how do i get players name? (DP)

Is there a way to get a players name from there ID number in direct player.

I want to get the name from the ID number that is sent when a message is sent.

''dp.Receive(lngFromPlayerID, lngToPlayerID, DPRECEIVE_ALL)''

I know i could use a list to do this, but i want to know if there is a simple function.....


--getShortname from playerID--

I would store the current user's name with all of their other info, but I dont know if DPlay does this for you. If so, I dont know how to get to that data.

I can’t really put all the information into an array, cus if I had 200 players then looping through all of them would cause some major lag.


For Counter=0 to Curent players
If PlayerID=ID(counter) then
Name=player(counter).name
End if
Next counter

Argh. Lag magnet
