BZFS API Function. This page documents a BZFS_API Function, that is provided by the BZFS game server for plug-ins to call.

Prototype[edit]

BZF_API uint32_t bz_getShotGUID (int fromPlayer, int shotID);

Parameters[edit]

name type value description
fromPlayer int the player who owns the shot, BZ_SERVER for world weapons
shotID int the local ID of the shot for the specified player

Description[edit]

This API function will return the Globally Unique Identifier(GUID) for the specified shot if it exists, or 0 if it does not.

Notes[edit]

Shot GUIDs are unique to each shot fired (within a range of over 4 billion shots fired per server session). This ID can be useful to detect unique shots independent of player reload timers.
