How to check if the player is logged in

[theashmaster]

Hey guys! Is there a way to check if my character is logged in the game?

I know the net module has a function called IsConnected, or something like that, but it returns true even when i'm in the character selection screen. Is there a way to check in which screen I'm at (i.e., login screen, character selection screen) or, at least, if the player is already in game?

In character selection screen, if you check against your VirtualID, it returns 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 for ebery character you have. While logged in, you aquire a VirtualID from the server which is always bigger than those values I enumerated earlier. So the easiest way is to check if vid > 4 (max characters you can have, do stuff. NPCs will never have VIDs lower or equal than 4, so it's a failsafe check.

Nice! Thank you for your idea.

I realized that some info only show up when the player is in game (mov speed, att speed, etc.), and I was using those info to check if the player was logged. But for some reason it was not realiable (or my code was wrong somewhere xD).

I will try your tip. Thanks man!

just use the phase packet from the server and check against the game phase. this way you can distinguish between any phase in which the character is currently in.
