Hello hopefully this is a simple problem.

I need to apply attributes to a player when they join the server. I need their steamid to lookup some info about them.
Currently im catching the "player_connect" event since it gives me index and steam id.

Upon connecting though; the server doesnt seem to assign an index until a couple seconds after this event fires. Is there a different event I should catch?

You could use the OnClientActive listener:

Syntax: Select all

# ../client_active/client_active.py

# Source.Python
from listeners import OnClientActive
from players.entity import Player


@OnClientActive
def on_client_active(index):
    """Called when a player spawns into the server."""
    player = Player(index)
    print(index, player.steamid)

This seems to work for me.

Syntax: Select all

@Event("player_activate")
def on_player_activate(event):
    args = event.variables.as_dict()

    index = index_from_userid(args['userid'])
    player = Player(index)

    assign_permissions(player)
