This event is triggered when a player joins the server. This event is not cancellable.

Parameters

No parameters.

Source

The source of this event is the player who joined.

Example

This example gets the joined client's name and sends him a welcome message including his name. 

-- we register greetPlayer as a handler for the event
function greetPlayer ( )
	-- we store the player's name
	local joinedPlayerName = getPlayerName ( source )
	local serverName = getServerName( )
	-- and send him a greeting
	outputChatBox ( "Welcome " .. joinedPlayerName .. " to ".. serverName .."!" , source, 255, 255, 255 )
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", root, greetPlayer )

This example sets random color to every player who joins. 

local chatColors = {} -- Create a table to save the color

function onPlayerJoin()
	-- Create a table to add rgb values, index will be the player element

	chatColors[source] = {math.random(50, 255), math.random (50, 255), math.random (50, 255)}
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, onPlayerJoin)

function onPlayerChat(playerMessage, messageType)
	local normalMessage = messageType == 0

	if not normalMessage then
		return false -- If it's not normal type message, cancel code execution
	end

	local playerName = getPlayerName(source) -- Get player name
	local playerColors = chatColors[source] -- Get player stored colors
	local colorR, colorG, colorB = playerColors[1], playerColors[2], playerColors[3] -- Store them into different variables

	outputChatBox(playerName..": #E0D0B0"..playerMessage, root, colorR, colorG, colorB, true) -- Output our message
	cancelEvent()
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerChat", root, onPlayerChat)

function onPlayerQuit()
	chatColors[source] = nil -- Clear stored data to avoid memory leaks
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit", root, onPlayerQuit)
