  • _name: String - is profileName of the joining player.
  • _jip: (since Arma 3 v1.49) Boolean - is a flag that indicates whether or not the player joined after the mission has started (Joined In Progress). true - when the player is JIP, otherwise false.
  • _owner: (since Arma 3 v1.49) Number - is owner id of the joining player. Can be used for kick or ban purposes or just for publicVariableClient.
