<function name="GetBySteamID" parent="player" type="libraryfunc"> <description>Gets the player with the specified SteamID. <warning>Internally this function iterates over all players in the server, meaning it can be quite expensive in a performance-critical context.</warning> <warning>This function now uses <page>player.Iterator</page>. This means it can't run all the time, as an error in the <page>GM:OnEntityCreated</page> or <page>GM:EntityRemoved</page> hooks is likely to interrupt it. Make sure that no addon causes an error in these hooks.</warning>⤶ </description> <realm>Shared</realm> <file line="287-L297">lua/includes/extensions/player.lua</file> <args> <arg name="steamID" type="string">The <page>Player:SteamID</page> to find the player by.</arg> </args> <rets> <ret name="" type="Player|boolean">Player if one is found, `false` otherwise.</ret> </rets> </function>
