hello !

i dont know how to make a function which when a player spawns in after connecting it will send him a message like (example: SERVER: Welcome!), but not when he dies and respawns if that is making any sense
can anybody help? (sorry for bad english)

You will have to do a simple variable at top ->

PHP код:

new newplayer[MAX_PLAYERS char]; 


And later on player connect set it to 1

PHP код:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    newplayer{playerid} = 1;
} 


On player spawn check if 1, set to 0 and send message

PHP код:

public OnPlayerSpawn(playerid)
{
    if(newplayer{playerid})
    {
        newplayer{playerid} = 0;
        //... message here
    }
}

Create a player variable under OnPlayerConnect to mark the player as just connected. You can call the variable however you want and set the value you want other than zero.

Then, under OnPlayerSpawn , check if that variable is set to the value you choose before, if so, send the message and delete the variable.

That's how i'd do it.
