I noticed using console commands requires the player id of someone... how do I get the player id?

Just follow instructions & some games in recent played shows ID.

in SP the player ID is the entity number the game assigns you when you enter the world, it changes each time you join.

if you are using (for example) "spawnentity" in the console it asks you for two items, your player entity ID (where you are) and the ID of the entity to spawn at your location.

in the console, scroll up and it will show you what your entity ID in the game is.
it will say something like;
"player (insert name here) ID XXX has entered the world"
(or something similar to that)

then, when you type in the console something like;

spawnentity XXX xxx {your ID and the entity ID, respectively}
it will spawn in whatever entity you requested, at your location.

i think that is what you may have been looking for.
