Disconnected and Connected Player's SteamID Plugin

As I have been a trial - moderator for a short time, I have been having problems with people mass rdming then leaving. It can be a real pain to try to find their steam id. So, I think that a plugin displaying a players steam id when they connect and disconnect would be really helpful. I have looked through forums online and have found a script that might work.


local logfile = file.Read("logs.txt", "DATA")

local steamids = {}

if logfile != nil then

steamids = util.JSONToTable(logfile)

end



hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "Store Ply Details", function( ply )

steamids[ply:SteamID()] = ply:Name()

file.Write("logs.txt", util.TableToJSON(steamids) )

end )





concommand.Add("getsteamid", function( ply, cmd, args )

if ply:IsAdmin() and args[1] != nil then

ply:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "Searching logs for: "..args[1])

for steamid, name in pairs(steamids) do

if name == args[1] then

ply:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "Name match for "..args[1].. " SteamID: "..steamid)

end

end

end

end)



You probably already know this but the file would be placed in  addons/<addon_name>/lua/autorun/server/whatever.lua
 where <addon_name> is whatever name you want to give it without the < >s, such as server_addons, and whatever.lua can be anything you want too, so long as the extension is lua.

This is pretty much what I found out looking through the facepunch forums.
