Your first server script

The following example welcomes a joining player and places them at an authoritative spawn point:

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, function(playerId)
    setPlayerName(playerId, "Newcomer")
    spawnPlayer(playerId, 12.0, 24.0, 2.0, 90)
    outputChatBox("Welcome to G1R:MP!", playerId, 225, 195, 110)
end)

See onPlayerJoin, addEventHandler, setPlayerName, spawnPlayer, and outputChatBox for parameter details and additional examples.
