Welcome Message | Issue?

Hey nwesterhausen!

We have a player who is a regular. We noticed every-time he joins the world, we get the following message:

"Welcome Shadow , it's their first time on the server!"

I just learned that he has a space character at the end of the name, and I'm curious if that could be causing the server bot to always say that first time welcome message rather than Shadow has joined.

Would love your thoughts!

Thanks man!

definitely possible it does. What do you have for the setting of "How to discern players in Record Retrieval"?

I will have to investigate how those pieces interact with name and spaces and stuff.

Default setting:

Choose a method for how players will be separated from the results of a record query (used for statistic leader boards).
Name: Treat each CharacterName as a separate player
PlayerId: Treat each PlayerId as a separate player
NameAndPlayerId: Treat each [PlayerId:CharacterName] combo as a separate player
Setting type: RetrievalDiscernmentMethods
Default value: PlayerId
Acceptable values: PlayerId, Name, NameAndPlayerId
How to discern players in Record Retrieval = PlayerId

This happens to me too with one player.

The first player on the list logged in only once and did not play again.
the second one on the list started playing constantly and every time he receives a notification. First time connected to the server.
I think this is due to the first entry when searching in the database.
