hi , i am currently trying to find out out of everyone in the server who is the latest connected player (i.e, the person with the least concurrent playtime in server, the person who has just joined to the server).

I can get the earliest player with GetClientTime() but how can i get the latest player?

[Marttt]

Using the inverse logic of GetClientTime()?

[HarryPotter]

Use global variable to save server time for every client

PHP Code:

float g_fConnectInServer[MAXPLAYERS+1];

public void OnClientPutInServer(int client)
{
    if(IsFakeClient(client)) return;

    g_fConnectInServer[client] = GetEngineTime();
}

thanks alot!

yes sorry maybe i write post wrong but i was just wondering if there was better method to save/check gametime of client

hi, when trying to return this variable, it seems to return "Console" which is not a player, i am not sure why that is, what is the proper usage to find the earliest player in g_fConnectInServer[]? i have used g_fConnectInServer[len - 1] but still returns Console. i am very new to coding

Console is the [0] index, no reason to do "len-1", since client indexes starts from "1" and not from "0"
Without code snippet is hard to help

PHP Code:

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    RegConsoleCmd("sm_test", Cmd_test);
}

Action Cmd_test(int client, int args)
{
    float fMax = 0.0;
    int iTarget;
    for(int player = 1; player <= MaxClients; player++)
    {
        if(!IsClientInGame(player)) continue;

        if(IsFakeClient(player)) continue;

        if(fMax < g_fConnectInServer[player])
        {
            fMax = g_fConnectInServer[player];
            iTarget = player;
        }
    }

    PrintToChatAll("latest joined player: %N", iTarget);

    return Plugin_Handled;
}

very thanks!! this has made things a lot clearer

thank you, i did not know, my original code was the same as HarryPotter's but I was checking

PHP Code:

 if(fMax <= g_fConnectInServer[player]) 


i am guessing the <= operator is why it was returning console? i was using >= to check for the latest player (works) and i assumed that the same but reverse would be for the earliest player ( i am not home atm so i can not check out it )
