How to detect player join for first time

[sleek wing]

I want to make console.log if player join for first time in Minecraft bedrock scripting API JavaScript

[eternal obsidian]

wdym? like first ever join and it won't trigger when he joins again?

[sleek wing]

Yes

[eternal obsidian]

just add a tag.

[sleek wing]

How I detect player tag

[eternal obsidian]

if (player.hasTag('test'))

[sleek wing]

Thanks

You can use the initialSpawn, why use a tag?

[sleek wing]

How I use initialSpawn can you make example code

[quick egret]

Wait

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe((data) => {
  let player = data.player;
  let Spawn = data.initialSpawn;
  if (!Spawn) {
    //Code here
  }
})

console.warn(${player.name} has Joined in first time)

Wait a minute, is my grammar wrong?

[buoyant snow]

where ?

[quick egret]

${player.name} has joined in first time

[buoyant snow]

maybe ${player.name} has joined first is better

but everyone understands in any case, so it's okay

[quick egret]

Ok

[eternal obsidian]

afaik initialSpawn runs everytime you joined the server, not first time.

[hard storm]

When their entity.id is new

Tagging em prob easy option

[covert condor]

Yes it is.

[eternal obsidian]

Then that's not what he wants.

[covert condor]

Yeah

Adding tag or dynamic property would do.

[eternal obsidian]

That's why I said he should use tag

[sleek wing]

Yes

[covert condor]

Yeah, your answer is right.

[sleek wing]

Tag option working

when I use initialSpawn it was not working for first and not for another time

[quick egret]

Wew, I just knew it

[sleek wing]

//===============Dependency==========
import { system,world,Player } from "@minecraft/server";

world.afterEvents.playerJoin.subscribe(e => {
const {player} = e;

    if (!player.hasTag('joined'))
    var now = new Date();
    var currentDateAndTime = now.toISOString();
    console.log(`${e.playerName} New player joined the game ${currentDateAndTime}`)

I tried but I am getting error

[eternal obsidian]

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(event => {
    const { player, initialSpawn } = event;
    if (initialSpawn) {
        var now = new Date();
        var currentDateAndTime = now.toISOString();
        console.log(`${player.name} New player joined the game ${currentDateAndTime}`)
    }
});```

🗿

[eternal obsidian]

halo...did you fix your problem?

i mean did you test my code?

[quick egret]

I haven't tested it yet :'v

I have a lot of things to do at home

[quick egret]

Btw, Where do you get e.playerName from?

What does event mean?

[eternal obsidian]

mybad i just copy pasted it

[quick egret]

._.

[sleek wing]

But this will work every time when a player join I want run only for first time

[eternal obsidian]

nope i'm wrong

it runs when he joins the world for the very first time

to test that create new world

[sleek wing]

Where you use this function

if (player.hasTag('test'))
``` ?

[sleek wing]

I tested not working was running every time

[sleek wing]

I made screen record wait I am sending

[eternal obsidian]

it works for me so idk what you mean

[sleek wing]

Where you use this function

if (player.hasTag('test'))
``` ?

[eternal obsidian]

inside of initialSpawn statement

[sleek wing]

I run this code on server

//===============Dependency==========
import { system,world,Player } from "@minecraft/server";

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(event => {
    const { player, initialSpawn } = event;
    if (initialSpawn) {
        var now = new Date();
        var currentDateAndTime = now.toISOString();
        console.log(`${player.name} New player joined the game ${currentDateAndTime}`)
    }
});

[eternal obsidian]

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(event => {
    const { player, initialSpawn } = event;
    if (initialSpawn) {
        if (player.hasTag('test')) {
            player.sendMessage("TEST");
        }
    }
});```

• TypeScript:

import { world, PlayerSpawnAfterEvent } from "@minecraft/server";

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(({ player, initialSpawn }: PlayerSpawnAfterEvent): void => {
  if (!initialSpawn || player.getDynamicProperty("hasJoinedBefore")) return;
  
  player.sendMessage("You joined for the first time.");

  player.setDynamicProperty("hasJoinedBefore", true);
});

• JavaScript:

import { world } from "@minecraft/server";

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(({ player, initialSpawn }) => {
  if (!initialSpawn || player.getDynamicProperty("hasJoinedBefore")) return;
  
  player.sendMessage("You joined for the first time.");

  player.setDynamicProperty("hasJoinedBefore", true);
});

[sleek wing]

What different between

world.afterEvents.playerJoin.subscribe

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe

[quick egret]

Use the script above your chat

[broken hawk]

playerJoin triggers when a player first joins (even if they aren't yet loaded) and playerSpawn triggers when a player spawns (either they died & respawned or its they joined the world, initialSpawn == false is if they respawned after a death, initialSpawn == true is if they first joined the server, now initialSpawn == true is even if they left & rejoined)

[broken hawk]

Also playerJoin triggers like the initialSpawn == true but without the player being fully loaded in
