Description

Called when a non local player connects to allow the Lua system to check the password.

The default behaviour in the base gamemodes emulates what would normally happen. If sv_password is set and its value matches the password passed in by the client - then they are allowed to join. If it isn't set it lets them in too.

Arguments

1 string steamID64
The 64bit Steam ID of the joining player, use util.SteamIDFrom64 to convert it to a STEAM_0: one.
2 string ipAddress
The IP of the connecting client
3 string svPassword
The current value of sv_password (the password set by the server)
4 string clPassword
The password provided by the client
5 string name
The name of the joining player

Returns

1 boolean
If the hook returns false then the player is disconnected
2 string
If returning false in the first argument, then this should be the disconnect message. This will default to #GameUI_ServerRejectBadPassword, which is Bad Password. translated to the client's language.

Example

A user access whitelist to the server.

Available pre-defined messages can be found in ../sourceengine/resource/gameui_english.txt files or here.
