Whats the difference?

[Torge]

client_connect: If someone is connecting to the server.
client_putinserver: If someone see the motd of server. He's already joined.

client_connect is called when the client connects to the server
client_putinserver is called a second or 2 before he sees the MOTD and is fully in
client_authorized is called when the client has gotten a SteamID

1 will always be first, but 2 and 3 can be in any order

I know this topic a quite old, but i wanted to ask, does client_putinserver is called after the player got his flags?

flags are given in client_authorized

I just looked in the include files and saw this

PHP Code:

/* Called when client gets valid STEAM id (usually
* between client_connect() and client_putinserver()). */ 


So if he gets the flags at client_authorized, then at client_putinserver, he should get his flags already right?

Also, client_connect (and possibly client_authorized) isn't called when the client doesn't fully rejoin the server with the 'retry' command.

If you're wanting to do something to a client that is steamID specific. Do it at client_authorized. If you're looking to do something to a client that has connected, and you want to make sure has joined. Do it at client_putinserver. This is not necessary, as they can be interchangeable. But it is important to know the difference if you're trying to do something that requires that specification. (like a vault data grab or flags assignment)
