Solved Checking if a player has joined for the first time?

I'm making a plugin for myself and I need to check for a player being new to the server, I was thinking of checking against a database if the player has ever been on the server? Is there any other way of doing it or is this the best way?

 

Try

Code:

object CanClientLogin(Network.Connection connection)
        {
            if (connection != null && !permission.UserExists(connection.userid.ToString())) // info stored in \my_server_identity\oxide\data\oxide.*.data
            {
                // it's first visit.
                // here could be your code, but without return "string";
            }
            return null;
        }

 

This is a valid solution you can use, but if you clear your permissions for some odd reason just know everyone will be treated as a first join again.

 

Thanks this will help! And @Hatemail I was thinking about every world having a new notification as everyone is starting fresh etc. But later I will make a database / file for users.
