Need help setting up MySQL with oxide.

Hey all, im getting a error i cant fix when fetching a user ID from a MySQL database. Yes the connection / creation of the database is fine. The error i am getting is as follows. Any help is appreciated

Code:

        void OnPlayerConnected(Network.Message packet)
        {
            var player = packet.connection.player as BasePlayer;
            var sql2 = Core.Database.Sql.Builder.Append(createQuery);
            sql2 = Core.Database.Sql.Builder.Append(SelectData);
            _mySql.Query(sql2, _mySqlConnection, list =>
            {
                if (list == null) return;
                var userid = player.UserIDString;
                foreach (var entry in list)
                {
                    string steamid = (string)entry["userid"];
                    if(steamid != player.UserIDString)
                    {
                     Puts("Yeet");
                    }
                }
            });
        }

Code:

MySql command callback raised an exception (NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object)
  at Oxide.Plugins.MySQLPlugin+<OnPlayerConnected>c__AnonStorey0.<>m__0 (System.Collections.Generic.List`1 list) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
  at Oxide.Core.MySql.Libraries.MySql+MySqlQuery+<>c__DisplayClass24_0.<Handle>b__0 () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

 

Anyone?

 

You can take userID without casting connection.player to BasePlayer, just use connection.userid
I bet null is connection.player, because OnPlayerConnected calls before player is spawned.
