First log in QUESTION
 

is there a function or a "if" statement to check if it is the first time the player has logged onto the server, or the first time logging in after reset??

You can set a flag in their to indicate they've logged on, or base it off other data in their account.

I.e: If your server is an RPG server they probably don't have their level or stats set, so you can warp them to the right place.

I would recommend NOT resetting players on their first login, and instead scanning for conditions that would require you to reset them.

ok. i understand. but how do i make the gani set to the last gani playing before the player logged off. for example. u exit while the ani is sword_idle. you log back on and the ani is just idle. how do i make anis go back to what they were before log off?

That should be in a weapon that's added to the player when they login.

I.e: -System

what is server_idle??

He's only giving you an example of what a system NPC could be.

He's suggesting that you check if the player has a system NPC to see if the player needs to be reset or not.

oh, i thought server_idle was a specific global.ani lol. i figured it out.
i just need to do a check on the player's weapon type and replace the gani accordingly
