why is player not attached OnPCLoginEvent?

[drifterxxxx2]

hi

 

I want a welcome message to new players

console shows: Fatal error! player not attached!

and I have 2 questions

prontera,3,3,3	script	Welcome	111,{
	end;
OnPCLoginEvent:
if (!#newbie) {
	sleep 3000;
	message strcharinfo(0),"welcome to the server, let me point this place to you";
	sleep 3000;
	viewpoint 0,167,167,1,0xFF0000;
	set #newbie,1;
	}
	else
	end;
}
	

1.- how can I solve this

2.- will the permanent variable add too much load to my server?

 

thank you!

totally missed that thank you!

what about the #variable? I read it store the value in a table

does it consume too much of server resources? long term speaking i.e. 1000+ accounts

or how does that work?

 

thank you again
