Join and leave message with net library

[CertifiedCode]

Hello, I have been trying to make a join and leave message with chat.addtext and im not so good with the net library this is what i have so far

  
if SERVER then
	util.AddNetworkString( "PlayerConnectmsg" )

	hook.Add( "PlayerConnect", "doSayOnConnect", onConnect )
		net.Send( "PlayerConnectmsg" )
		net.Broadcast()
	end

if CLIENT then
	net.Receive( "PlayerConnectmsg", function()
		chat.AddText( Color( 255, 255, 255), "Player " .. ply:Nick() .. "(" .. ply:SteamID() .. ") has joined the game."  )
	end )

end

Nothing happens and there are no errors not sure what the problem with it is any help would be great i may have accidentally put something thats not ment to be there but yea im not sure thanks, the code up there is for connect message not sure how to add a disconnect function with that im not so good with the net library

if SERVER then
    util.AddNetworkString( "PlayerConnectmsg" )

    hook.Add( "PlayerConnect", "doSayOnConnect", function(name) 
        net.Start( "PlayerConnectmsg" )
            net.WriteString(name)
        net.Broadcast()
    end)
end

if CLIENT then
    net.Receive( "PlayerConnectmsg", function()
        local name = net.ReadString()
        chat.AddText( Color( 255, 255, 255), "Player "..name.." has joined the game."  )
    end)
end

You can't get SteamID in the connect hook, only name and ip.

As for disconnecting, you can pretty much do the same thing, just with the [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/PlayerDisconnected]GM/PlayerDisconnected[/url] hook.

So would i have to change the connect hook to a PlayerInitialSpawn hook k so this would work?

if SERVER then
    util.AddNetworkString( "PlayerConnectmsg" )

    hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "doSayOnConnect", function(name) 
        net.Start( "PlayerConnectmsg" )
            net.WriteString(name)
        net.Broadcast()
    end)
end

if CLIENT then
    net.Receive( "PlayerConnectmsg", function()
        local name = net.ReadString()
        chat.AddText( Color( 255, 255, 255), "Player " .. ply:Nick() .. "(" .. ply:SteamID() .. ") has joined the game."  )
    end)
end

now would i be able to call there steam id if i changed the hook ?

There's no need for networking. The client is already notified when a player joins or leaves.

[lua]
hook.Add("ChatText", "joinleave", function(ply, name, txt, type)
if type == "joinleave" then
chat.AddText(Color( 255, 255, 255), txt)
return
end
end)
[/lua]

This of course wouldn't support player based so you [I]can't[/I] get their steamid.

Omg thankyou code_gs :D

gameevent.Listen( "player_connect" )
hook.Add( "player_connect", "player_connect_example", function( data )
	local name = data.name			// Same as Player:Nick()
	local steamid = data.networkid		// Same as Player:SteamID()
	local ip = data.address			// Same as Player:IPAddress()
	local id = data.userid			// Same as Player:UserID()
	local bot = data.bot			// Same as Player:IsBot()
	local index = data.index		// Same as Player:EntIndex()

	// Player has connected; this happens instantly after they join -- do something..

end )

Hey just got back put this together do you think this would work?

gameevent.Listen( "player_connect" )
hook.Add( "player_connect", "player_connect_example", function( data )
	local name = data.name			// Same as Player:Nick()
	local steamid = data.networkid		// Same as Player:SteamID()
	local ip = data.address			// Same as Player:IPAddress()
	local id = data.userid			// Same as Player:UserID()
	local bot = data.bot			// Same as Player:IsBot()
	local index = data.index		// Same as Player:EntIndex()

	chat.AddText( Color( 255, 255, 255), "Player " .. data.name .. "("..data.networkid .. ") has joined the game."  )

end )

gameevent.Listen( "player_disconnect" )
hook.Add( "player_disconnect", "player_disconnect_example", function( data )
	local name = data.name			// Same as Player:Nick()
	local steamid = data.networkid		// Same as Player:SteamID()
	local ip = data.address			// Same as Player:IPAddress()
	local id = data.userid			// Same as Player:UserID()
	local bot = data.bot			// Same as Player:IsBot()
	local index = data.index		// Same as Player:EntIndex()

	chat.AddText( Color( 255, 255, 255), "Player " .. data.name .. "("..data.networkid .. ") has left the game."  )

end )
