This event is triggered when a player attempts to connect to the server.

Parameters

string playerNick, string playerIP, string playerUsername, string playerSerial
  • playerNick: The player's current nickname.
  • playerIP: The player's current IP.
  • playerUsername: The player's community username.
  • playerSerial: The player's serial number.

Cancel effect

If this event is canceled, the player will be disconnected with an error message saying the reason specified in cancelEvent or "Disconnected: server refused the connection" if none was specified.

Example

This example cancels connection attempts of people who use the nick "Player" or outputs some data about the connecting player otherwise. 

--when a player connects
function playerConnect (playerNick, playerIP, playerUsername, playerSerial)
    if playerNick == "Player" then --check if his nick is "Player"
        cancelEvent(true,"The nick \"Player\" is not allowed, please change it to something else. You can change your nick in Settings menu Multiplayer tab.") --in that case refuse the connection
    else
        --output some data about the player
        outputChatBox (playerNick.." just connected to the server.")
        outputChatBox ("IP: "..playerIP.." Username: "..playerUsername.." Serial: "..playerSerial)
    end
end

--add the playerConnect function as a handler for onPlayerConnect
addEventHandler ("onPlayerConnect", getRootElement(), playerConnect)
