How to get a players XUID printed on screen

[Madnesslink5]

I have tryed many things in "OnPlayerConnect()":

PHP Code:

self iPrintLnBold(self.guid); 


also tried self.xuid, self getxuid, self getguid, etc. Also tried with the setText rather than iprintlnbold.

If somebody could test something and give me/explain to me how the code works it would be great, I keep getting "struct is not an entity" error.

Code:

iprintln(self.name+" xuid is "+ self getxuid());

Add this in onplayerspawned()

\status in console.

Code:

iprintln(self.name+" xuid is "+ self getxuid());

Add this in onplayerspawned()

Doesn't work, receive this error "pair `undefined` and ` xuid is ` has unmatching types `undefined` and `string`".

And to above, I know you can get xuid by looking on console, but it is more the fact of me wanting to know how to do things like this using scripting.

Instead I want it so that when I join my mod, a message comes up saying that I have joined. My code is:

PHP Code:

showme()
{
        if(self getxuid() == "110000103e625e6")
        {
        MadnessText = createServerFontString( "extrabig", 1.5 );
        MadnessText setPoint( "CENTER", "CENTER", 0, -80 );
        MadnessText.sort = 1001;
        MadnessText setText("^2Mod Creator, ^6Madness^2, has joined the server^6!");
        wait 5;
        MadnessText destroyElem();
        }
    
}

onPlayerConnect()
{
    for(;;)
    {
        level waittill( "connected", player );
                               self thread showme(); 


This doesn't work though, if I change the xuid number to anything the message still comes up, whats wrong?
self thread showme();

its script runtime error, just turn off developer mode and my code will work

self thread showme();

Use player thread showme(); instead of self thread showme();

type /steamid in console and it will tell you it. You don't even have to be ingame.
