This function finds a blip from an ID and returns a pointer to it. If there is no such blip, null will be returned.

Syntax

Blip FindBlip( int id [, Player plr ] )

Arguments

• id - The ID of the blip to be found
• plr - If the blip you want to find is owned by a specific client, use this to specify the owner. If you don't use this argument the blip will be returned from the global blip pool

Example 1. Non-player specific

This example command will look for a global blip id asked by the player and print a message if it exists then someone types '/find'.

 
function onPlayerCommand( pPlayer, szCommand, szText )
{
     if ( szCommand == "find" )
     {
          local pBlip = null;
          if ( szText ) pBlip = FindBlip( szText.tointeger() );
          if ( pBlip ) MessagePlayer( "Found Blip ID " + szText, pPlayer );
     }
     
     return 1;
}
