I think there are 4 player id depending on race and sex. I think it's 1001 to 1004.

Maybe he's looking for the GUID (Global Unique Identifier) instead?

Of course, Admin - thats what I'm looking for.
It could be realized with API's UPDATE_MOUSEOVER_UNIT (arg1,arg2) or UNIT_TARGET_CHANGED but I dont know how exactly?
In WoW it was easier using UnitGUID("target"), but here in rom I'm out of basics to create something like that.
May U know, admin, rock, lisa?
PS: I've tried this one /run DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(UnitGUID("player"))
but I get a variable number depending on the zone and the number was something between 50 - 3000.
I know the GUID must be something above 130.000 - so back to beginning

I think you are getting confused.
mobs and NPC have an Id, in your example the Id of Mendoza Ayekin is 104146.
You can get the target's Id by using
and then point your mouse at any object/npc/mob and the ID will be on micromacro window.
If you were trying to use the Id in code then you use it like this.
after you have targeted something then
then the id is
If I knew what you were trying to do it would be a lot easier to help you.
