Why doesn't BroadcastChat display my text?

testMessage.py

Code:

import Rust
class testMessage:
    def __init__(self):
        self.Title = "testMessage"
        self.Description = "Displays a test message"
        self.Author = "DY357LX"
        self.Version = V(0, 1, 0)
       
def OnPlayerInit(self, player):
    rust.BroadcastChat(player.displayname + " welcome to the server!")

I have very little knowledge of python so I've probably screwed something simple up.

My logs show the plugin loads but there's no errors.
Am I missing the message? Do I add a 10 seconds delay in there or something? (import time + time.sleep(10) or something along those lines?)
Is it because I'm testing on a LAN?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

You will need to add a delay to your message as your player is still not on the server to see the message. I would suggest looking at plugins like Notifier to get an understanding of how it is done.

 

You should use "OnPlayerConnected" hook... That's where the player actually starts getting that information... Initializing is where the server gathers the users information.

Also... I don't know anything about Python... And I prefer using C#
