    Hello everybody!

    I'm trying to figure out how to load script when a user logs on. I'm looking in the wiki but must be missing it, can someone point me to it please?

    Thanks,
    Sabre

    If you have that script set up as an external program, you can set it to run for certain triggers, including login. For instance, run SCFG and go to External Programs > Online Programs (Doors), then choose the section and the door. Then choose the "Execute on Event" option and choose Logon. Bullseye Bulletins is set up that way, for instance.

    Hello everybody!

    There are a few ways to have scripts run during logon, there's SCFG->External Programs->Fixed Events->Logon, there's SCFG->External Programs->Online Programs (configured to execute upon Logon Event), and there's directly modifying your exec/logon.js to load/exec another script (not recommended).

    Unless, of course, having first copied exec/logon.js to mods/logon.js. :D
