Lua function getPlayerByAccountNumber(acc)

[Nottinghster]

Can someone give me the full explanation of this function?
Like, what are the values? getPlayerByAccountNumber(acc).
Also, what does it do?
How it work?

function getPlayerByAccountNumber(acc)
	players = getPlayersByAccountNumber(acc)
	if #players == 0 then
		return 0
	end
	return players[1]
end

Well, it returns a table with the players uid in a certain account. And like any table to get it's size use the # sign before
it.

It actually doesn't return a table, but just single uid of player (first found on the list).

It uses getPlayersByAccountNumber function, which scans through players that are currently logged in game, and got same account id. Not useful in most cases, unless you got onePlayerOnlinePerAccount disabled.

but how to set a storage value to all players in determined account using this function ?

Can't be done, cause the function you posted just checks for players that are currently online. Mass editing storage values for whole account can be done only directly by quering database.
