Getting player info on connection?

I have started a very basic plugin that handle kits.
It needs a lot of improvement but I have to start somewhere.

This code is very simple.

when a player type in /kits I display the kits and add an item to the player inventory

I have commented the code. Im looking to retreive the player name and anounce it in chat when he connect.
I would also like to know how to set default player inventory (on spawn)

This is my plugin so far.

Code:

using Oxide.Core;
using Oxide.Core.Plugins;namespace Oxide.Plugins
{
    [Info("kits", "Madeindreams", 1.0)]
    [Description("Kits plugin")]    class kits : RustPlugin
    {
      void Init()
  {
      Puts("Init works!");
  }  void Loaded()
{
    Puts("Loaded works!");
}void OnPluginLoaded(Plugin name)
{
    Puts($"Plugin '{name}' has been loaded");
}void OnPlayerConnected(Network.Message packet,BasePlayer player)
{
 PrintWarning("user connecting");
// hOW CAN I ANNOUCE PLAYERS?
// How do i set deafult inventory ?
}[ChatCommand("kits")]
private void kitsCmd(BasePlayer player, string command, string[] args)
{
//Magic goes here
Puts("command works!");
string message = "<color=#0000ffff>Available Kits</color>\n Assault,...";
SendReply(player, message);  // giving something to the player
Item item = ItemManager.CreateByName("rifle.ak", 1);
item.position = 1; // needs to be empty
item.contents.itemList.Add(ItemManager.CreateByName("weapon.mod.silencer", 1)); // add mod to weapon
player.inventory.GiveItem(item);
}    }
}

Can anyone help?

 

// hOW CAN I ANNOUCE PLAYERS?

Code:

player.Chatmessage($"Hello {player.displayName}, here you are!");

// How do i set deafult inventory ?
if you mean clear it =>

Code:

player.inventory.Strip()

if you mean chage it - clear it and then add items like
player.inventory.GiveItem(ItemManager.CreateByItemID(108061910));
player.inventory.GiveItem(ItemManager.CreateByItemID(108061910));
player.inventory.GiveItem(ItemManager.CreateByItemID(108061910));

 

the player.Chatmessage will be sent to the player alone I presume. How do I say it in general chat for every one to see.

And this chat command isnt working for me.

player.ChatMessage($"Hello '{player.displayName}', here you are!");

will trow an error

Code:

Failed to call hook 'OnPlayerConnected' on plugin 'kits v1.0.0' (NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object)
  at Oxide.Plugins.kits.OnPlayerConnected (Network.Message packet, .BasePlayer player, System.String[] args) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

Now the other thing about clearing the inventory. This is not the behavior im expecting. A player could log in with stuff on him. I dont want to clear the enventory when a player connects but when he spawn. How can I do this on spawn^

Thak you very much for your repliy.

 

I got the player connection message working by using onPlayerSleepEnded. For some reason it is not working OnPlayerConnected. Is there anything in between? can I annouce the player connection before he end sleep and after he connected?

 

Have you looked at ConnectMessages? Its a CovalencePlugin so some hooks might not work with RustPlugin but can give you ideas.
For sending a message to everyone in game you can either use BroadcastChat or PrintToChat. more info on messages >here<

 

Thank you very much guys. Its all working now im starting to get it.

So I have found the inbetween I was looking for.

Code:

void OnPlayerInit(BasePlayer player)
{
   //PrintToChat ($"{player.displayName} connected (PTC)");
   rust.BroadcastChat(null, $"{player.displayName} connected (BC)");
   Puts($"{player.displayName} connected (Puts)");
}

It totaly make sence to refer to the player when it is initiated. I guess that connection itself is more for the network information.

So there are 2 ways to print out in general chat.

Is there any advantage using BroadcastChat rather then PrintToChat?

Is Puts considered a console output? I can see these outputs in Rcon. My code is actualy live in Rcon and the server. Thats totaly awesome. No need to restart anything.

 

Wulf how do I refer to the packet.playeName? in here lets say :

Code:

void OnPlayerConnected(Network.Message packet)
{
    Puts("OnPlayerConnected works!");
    Puts("packet player name?");
}

 

Intellisence for CS is already installed. I not sure how to import or link librarys to my plugin.
