Hi, I was planning to just use the standard login procedure for a game I'm making. I wanted to allow the user to enter their name and login without password.

The problem is that when a user logs in with the same username as someone who is already logged in, the logged in user is disconnected.

To solve this problem I tried using a FindUsersRequest to see if a user exists with the same username before logging in. But this isn't possible as the user isn't logged in yet - the request fails.

What's the best way of checking that a username is unique before login using the standard logging in system?

Cheers

I could auto login as a guest and then do the 'actual' user login after - so I can make FindUsersRequests in the login section. But this seems like a silly way of doing it.

It's the only way to make it work. Registration systems need to be done in the same way.

Unless you set the "force logout" to true in the Zone configuration, a user with the same name of another one already logged won't be able to login.
