doFirstSpawn ()

Hello guys, i was navigating

http://jenkins.pocketmine.net/job/P...player.html#a91a45b539bf270494fec8f687a1295bf

and i suddenly saw the function: doFirstSpawn () i have no idea of how to use it, can someone help providing code please??

I don't think you're supposed to use that, that's some internal stuff(for PocketMine, which you shouldn't use).

is there something to detect if the player is making his first spawn??

Like when they join the server for the first time?

yes!

I think you can use Player::hasPlayedBefore(), but I'm not really sure. Just try it.

ohh my god, im so stupid look at this please, how can i get the name of the player??

PHP:

<?php

namespace welcometoserver\lovetobedev;

use pocketmine\plugin\PluginBase;
use pocketmine\utils\TextFormat as Color;
use pocketmine\Player;
use pocketmine\Server;
use pocketmine\item\Item;
use pocketmine\IPlayer;
use pocketmine\event\player\PlayerJoinEvent;

class Main extends PluginBase{
    public function onEnable() {
        $this->getLogger()->info("Plugin Enabled, new people in your server will be happy!");
    }
   
    public function onDisable() {
        $this->getLogger()->info("Plugin Disabled");
    }
   
    public function hasPlayedBefore(){
        $items = [
            Item::get(272, 0, 1),
            Item::get(273, 0, 1),
            Item::get(274, 0, 1),
            Item::get(275, 0, 1)
        ];
        Server::getInstance()->broadcastMessage(Color::LIGHT_PURPLE."Welcome Back!");
    }
   
}

Where can i establish the name??!

i have put this->getName() but i don't think it will work

1. please learn PM api 2.

PHP:

$player->getName()

you are incorrect! im not using function onCommand!! hahaha, you should learn the api, the fix is here, i just figured out:

PHP:

$name = $this->getServer()->getPlayer()->getName();

i just finished the plugin, it actually works perfectly!!

and, i think the instanceof Compound is ok for checking the has played before i think let me know, cuz im getting a lot of confusion on that

Note that the doFirstSpawn function is a protected function, which mean you can't access it outside the player class hierarchy.

That's PHP not the API.

Actually, the Server object does not contain a getPlayer function. Apparently neither of you know what you are doing.

WELL, INSTEAD OF ANNOYING US, HELP !!

you had this no where in your code.

I have no idea what you want to do at all, so how could I help? I am not a mind reader or a fortune teller.

Im trying to make a first join send message to the player

When a player joins store their name in an array, database or config. If you want to send a message to a player when they first join the server, just check to see if that player's name is in the array, database or config and if it isnt send them the message.

What do you mean? I found this. Or, were you saying that there isn't a getPlayer() func with no args?

PHP:

public function onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent $event){
$player = $event->getName();
if(file_exists("players/".strtolower($player->getName()).".dat") == false){
$event->setJoinMessage($player->getName()." Joined for the first time :)");
}
}


Player::hasPlayedBefore() always returns true (dont use it)
