Find a player given a filter.

Parameters

flags List of filtering flags:
"a" - match with name

Note

Please consider using find_player_ex() instead which allows you to
use named constants for flags instead of letters.

Note

If matching by userid, do not also specify the "a", "b" or "c" flags,
or the function may not return a correct result.

Return

Client index, or 0 if no client was found
