## Introduction

Gets the nickname that the current user has set for the specified user.

### Id (input)

The ID of the user to get the nickname for. 

{% hint style="info" %}
The local user will never have a nickname. 

A nickname is the name the local user has assigned another user. 

For example let's assume your brother is your friend on Steam, and his chosen Steam Name is BroForce92, you could give him the nickname Little Bro; for you and only you the Get Player Nickname would return Little Bro for his user. 

You don't nickname yourself, when you set your name that is you setting your persona name.
{% endhint %}

### Return Value

**NULL** if no nickname has been set for that user.
