If it isn't set it lets them in too. </description> <realm>Server</realm> <predicted>No</predicted>⤶ <args> <arg name="steamID64" type="string">The 64bit Steam ID of the joining player, use <page>util.SteamIDFrom64</page> to convert it to a `STEAM_0:` one.</arg> <arg name="ipAddress" type="string">The IP of the connecting client</arg> <arg name="svPassword" type="string">The current value of sv_password (the password set by the server)</arg> <arg name="clPassword" type="string">The password provided by the client</arg> <arg name="name" type="string">The name of the joining player</arg> </args> <rets> <ret name="" type="boolean">If the hook returns false then the player is disconnected</ret> <ret name="" type="string">If returning false in the first argument, then this should be the disconnect message.
