Action after client is authorized

ghostdlr · **Author**

How long does it take for a client to be authorized ?

I want to do some actions exactly after the client was authorized. Is there an event for this ?

U can hook "entered the game" message with register_logevent, if thats the moment when u want to do stuff or register_event("InitHUD" , when player just entered and he gets HUD displayed.

Can you give me an example with register logevent ?

I already tried with client authorized and it's not working. I have to set a task after 3-4 seconds for a client_cmd to take effect .

What exacly do you want to do ?

client_authorized() is called when a player has succesfully been authorized and has a SteamID... that may happen while player is connecting but also can happen after player connected... or may not happen at all if server has no connection to steam or is cracked or who knows.

Maybe the question should be: "What do you mean by authorized?"

I want to execute jointeam 1 or jointeam 2 to the users before they finished loading so they won't see the default chooseteam menu .

For now , I added a task after 3.75-4 seconds in client authorized(my server is steam only) but sometimes users load the game faster and manage to choose a team .
Also, if I lower it below 3.75 the command doesn't have effect sometimes .

Can you suggest a better way ?

there are some good plugins to force player to a team before he choose...
