PlayerSmallID

Python

PlayerSmallID = int

Java

public class PlayerSmallID {
    @NotNull
    public static PlayerSmallID of(int value)
    public int intValue()
 }

A unique identifier for a player in the game, represented as a small integer.

A player's small ID is used primarily for communications (quick chats or emojis)

Difference with PlayerID

PlayerSmallID should not be confused with PlayerID, which is a different identifier.

You can find the corresponding PlayerSmallID for a given PlayerID in that player's SimplifiedPlayer information.

INFO

We cannot provide an exact explanation as to why there are two different player identifiers. This comes directly from the game source code, and we did not notice any particular pattern in how they are used, except PlayerID is used more often in the game state, while PlayerSmallID is used more often in communications.

In any case, conversion functions should abstract this problem away.
