Run script for first time in server players

[Tory Xiao 5]

What should I do to run certain scripts on new players like add starting money or welcome intro when they connected to the server for the first time? I tried this but it seems not working.

Sorry about that..... Im running an A3Wasteland server, I just want to know is there a script that can identify if a player is the first time in the server

In initPlayerLocal.sqf:

if (isNil {profileNameSpace getVariable "myHolyServerVar"} ) then {
    profileNameSpace setVariable ["myHolyServerVar",getPlayerUID player];
    hint "welcome for your 1st time here";
};

in initPlayerServer.sqf:
 

if (isNil "identifiedPlayers") then {identifiedPlayers = []};
identifiedPlayers pushBackUnique getPlayerUID (_this #0);

 

identifiedplayers is local to server. You can script for newbies on server before pushback if the player UID is not yet inside the array.

If you want to keep this array on server, not reset at server start, you can use also the profileNameSpace of the server.
