# OnPlayerRequestSpawn

## Description

This callback is called when a player attempts to spawn via class selection either by pressing SHIFT or clicking the 'Spawn' button.

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| playerid | The ID of the player that requested to spawn. |

## Returns

Returning 0 in this callback will prevent the player from spawning.

It is always called first in filterscripts so returning 0 there also blocks other scripts from processing it.

## Examples

```c
public OnPlayerRequestSpawn(playerid)
{
    if (!IsPlayerAdmin(playerid))
    {
        SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "You may not spawn.");
        return 0;
    }
    return 1;
}
```

## Notes

note

This callback can also be called by NPC.

tip

To prevent players from spawning with certain classes, the last viewed class must be saved in a variable in OnPlayerRequestClass.
