gm_playerload

Simple module that adds a hook for when a player fully loads

Overview

According to this issue on the Garry's Mod issues net messages become unreliable and will likely crash players games when sent to a spawning player. To work around this a few smart people came up with a workaround and this is our rendition of it, not too different from the actual workaround but it fits our styling needs and it is easy to implement to our servers when needed.

Installation

Clone or download this repository into your garrysmod/addons folder and restart your server or game.

Use

require( "playerload" )

hook.Add( "PlayerFullLoad", "OnPlayerFullyLoaded", function( ply )
    net.Start( "example" )
    net.WriteString( "welcome :)" )
    net.Send( ply )
end )
