Best time to load data

Simple question, when is the best time to load the data for the server? Is it playerConnecting?

Second question is, whats the best way to set player data.

Yes it would be when player is connecting and setting what sort of data? I would use mysql-async and update rows in a database base on the player’s identifier.

Okay thanks, what I meant for set player data like set ped, I can get the ped from mysql and all that fine but if you set like money or model or set the person position from playerConnecting it wont work since the player isnt in the server yet and if you use playerspawned it will do that everytime they respawn.

Just use a variable to store the firstSpawn state.

local firstSpawn = true

function SpawnEventHandler()
    if firstSpawn then
        -- Do your thing
        firstSpawn = false
    end
end
