Player Identification

All players are identified 4 seperate ways

1. npID/GUID/XUID - The ID corresponding to the player's hardware or forum account
2. IP - The player's IP Address
3. Database ID - The internal reference to a player, generated by IW4MAdmin
4. Name - The visible player name as it appears in game

For most commands players are identified by their Name
However, if they are currently offline, or their name contains un-typable characters, their Database ID must be used

The dbID is specified by prefixing a player's reference number with @.
For example, @123 would reference the player with a dbID of 123.
Players can also be referenced by clientID, which is simply their slot (0 - 17)

All commands that require a target look at the first argument for a form of player identification
