onPlayerConnected – Talk
_ID ? is this the players globalID or the game slot number ? _name? is this the players profile name from the client or the name of the players slot.
When abouts does this actually execute ? When the player connects and before they pick a player slot, or when they assume a player in the game ?
ID is broken for players on a dedicated server (id is a very high number e.g. 3.03242E+008).
On a dedicated server this function is also called with [2, "__SERVER__"] at startup (double underscores).

Could we compile somewhere what is sent to the JIP client when they connect?? And what is not sent to them? For example: objects and their positions are sent (whether alive or dead). What is surprisingly not sent: any weather or time change since mission start. Any objstatus update. Any marker placed by someone in game. Is flagowner sent?? Is the state of destroyed trees and buildings sent?? Maybe this should go in http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Multiplayer_scripting? I just know that as a scripter I would be looking at onPlayerConnected for a way to solve these issues. --Doolittle 19:00, 21 June 2007 (CEST)
