Code Samples

Player Connecting Disconnecting and Rejoining

This example demonstrates that the Players/PlayerConnecting, Players/PlayerDisconnecting, and Players/PlayerRejoining events fire when a player connects to, disconnects from, and rejoins the game. Each of the events fires a message with the player name and the action. For example, when a player connects to the game, the PlayerConnecting event prints:

PlayerName connecting!

This example will function as expected when executed in the command bar.
