Welcome all to the third part of our Community Resource series, here we are making a script that will detect if a player has joined before. Sorry for not posting for a long time.

Detect If Player Has Joined Before Logic

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerJoinData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local playerKey = "Player_" .. player.UserId
	local success, data = pcall(function()
		return playerDataStore:GetAsync(playerKey)
	end)

	if success then
		if data == nil then
			-- Player is joining for the first time
			print(player.Name .. " is joining for the first time!")
			-- Save the player's first join status
			pcall(function()
				playerDataStore:SetAsync(playerKey, true)
			end)
		else
			-- Player has joined before
			print(player.Name .. " has joined before.")
		end
	else
		-- Handle DataStore error
		warn("Could not access DataStore for " .. player.Name)
	end
end)
