cancelEvent acting weird on 'onPlayerConnect'

[Xinoz]

Hi guys,

I am trying to display a message to the players upon joining.

When using the cancelEvent upon the 'onPlayerConnect' event no message is being displayed.

When joining the server it shows no message.. well it does, the default one that is supposed to show for when you don't declare a message.

Am I doing something wrong or is there actually something bugged?

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean? this?

addEventHandler("onPlayerConnect", getRootElement(), 
function () 
cancelEvent(true, "TEXT") 
end)

Yes, that doesn't work for me. Displays no message upon connecting.

For me work normally. Do you have in server-side?

[Xinoz]

I do have the code located on the server side.

Must work normally.. for me really work.

I discovered that it doesn't work when resources are starting. It does when there aren't any.

For me it defeats the purpose of using this right now since I wanted to refuse players from joining when resources were starting.

EDIT: Yes, I can still refuse them, but it would be nice to have a message too.

EDIT 2: I came to know that the problem wasn't the resources starting up, but using dbPoll is, using it while joining causes this.

I once had the same problem, never found out why.

There was no message, just black.

Did you fix it?

[Xinoz]

Not fixed.

hmmmmm

try to use this:

addEventHandler("onPlayerConnect", getRootElement(), 
function () 
cancelEvent(true, "Welcome to my server") 
                end          
end

hmmmmm

try to use this:

addEventHandler("onPlayerConnect", getRootElement(), 
function () 
cancelEvent(true, "Welcome to my server") 
                end          
end 

This is exactly the same code. Nothing changed here.

end 

lol it's the same as iLol's code just changed the text and made an espace to end

Its not the same ...

There is an "end" too much and a ")" is missing at the end.

It won't even work

But I had the same issue and could never fix it.

Still don't know why I had this problem.
