I was just wondering if there is better\ faster way to return a custom type then using a for loop.

for instance, if you have 100 player types with individual names and ids, but you wanted to find a player named Joe so you could smack him with a rubber duck, is the below code the only way to pick him out of a group of 100 players?

For P.player = Each player
	If P\name = "Joe" Then
		Smack_With_Rubber_Duck("Joe")
		Exit
	EndIf
Next

Thanks for any help here.

EDITED: Fixed the player name call, thanks KED
