Event.Hook("ClientConnected", InSameFileHandler)

<div class="IPBDescription">No errors, but no binding...</div>I'm very new to this. If anything I assert as fact in this post (or the referenced gist) is incorrect, please correct me.

My problem: I'm failing in my attempt to bind an event.

I have (hopefully not overly) simplified my code to the following: <a href="https://gist.github.com/3490180" target="_blank">https://gist.github.com/3490180</a>

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->Starting from game_setup.xml:
Steps 1-3: Load files until I've loaded clientConnected.lua
Step 4   : call engine.lua's bindHandler
Step 5   : handle the "ClientConnected" event with the InSameFileHandler method<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
InSameFileHandler() never fires in Step 5. The Shared.Message("CCCC...") does fire (I do see it in my console)..

My console shows no errors from the Event.Hook line (to be clear: it shows no errors anywhere).

Why is Event.Hook not working (or showing an error) in my engine.lua?

My initial thought is that event is the client side event for connections, you want ClientConnect for server side client connect events.

I later found other minor problems in the code, but your correction was key. Thank you.
