There is no guarantee that a player is actually "in" the server when client_authorized() occurs. So, that means you can't guarantee that that text will make it to the player's console.

You'd probably need to use the method for customizing the kick message for them to see it or delay the kick until after client_putinserver().

There's auto team join and MOTD blocker. Right now I'm using client_authorized + 0.3s delay, it doesn't appear in my console.

Here's logs to see that it actually gets called.

What about client_putinserver, that's a "guaranteed" event that player has joined, I'll test once more with a 3.0s delay.

Yeah, but there is no guarantee that the client was authorized yet, IIRC. Which would mean you'd have to make sure that both events occur before executing this code.

Oh, I get it. I thought client_putinserver was always fired after client_authorized, turns out I was wrong. https://www.amxmodx.org/api/amxmodx/client_putinserver

So is there any other event which guarantees that the player is authorized?

EDIT: client_putinserver + 3.0s is working for now, I'll see how long it lasts.

You can easily use both:

PHP Code:

public client_connect(id)
{
    g_bAuthorized[id] = false
    g_bInServer[id] = false
}

public client_putinserver(id)
{
    g_bInServer[id] = true
    if( g_bAuthorized[id] )
    {
        do_something(id)
    }
}

public client_authorized(id)
{
    g_bAuthorized[id] = true
    if( g_bInServer[id] )
    {
        do_something(id)
    }
}
