==Overview==
The '''bz_BasePlayerRecord''' is an API class that is provided to expose information about a connected player to the plug-in.

==Data==
Class bz_BasePlayerRecord has the following data members:

; int version : The version number of this API class ;
; int playerID : The player ID for the player.
; [[bz_ApiString]] callsign : The username/callsign for the player.
; [[bz_eTeamType]] team : The team the player is currently on.
; float lastUpdateTime : The server time of the last player update
; [[bz_PlayerUpdateState]] lastKnownState : The state record that was last sent

; [[bz_ApiString]] ipAddress : The Internet Protocol v4 address of the connected client
; [[bz_ApiString]] currentFlag : The flag code of the flag to give to the player. The [http://wiki.bzflag.org/Flag_Reference_in_Plugins flag code format] is a string that looks like "FLag (+FL)" Where letters that make up the flag abbreviation is capitalized. So for example, Narrow is Narrow and Wings is WinGs. The content in parenthesis include a + sign if the flag is a good flag or a - sign if the flag is a bad flag followed by the symbol of the flag. If no flag is being held, this parameter is simply an empty string. The actual values outputted by this member can also be clarified on the 5th & 6th pages of the "Help" section in-game.
