Blah:
If(Isserver() == 1) {
Print("Yes, you are the server."); }
Stop;

That would only tell display the text locally to HOST. That wouldnt help a joining person figure out who the host is. I think he wants something like this:

Code:

symbols

message     join
message     timer
message     startup

end

#---------------------------

code

startup:
player = GetLocalPlayerThing();
Stop;

#---------------------------

join:
new = GetSenderRef();
SetTimerEx(2, new, 0, 0);
Stop;

#---------------------------

timer:
person = GetSenderID();
If(IsServer() == 1)
{
jkStringClear();
jkStringConcatAsciiString("Welcome");
jkStringConcatPlayerName(person); 
jkStringConcatAsciiString(". ");
jkStringConcatPlayerName(player); 
jkStringConcatAsciiString(" is the HOST.");
jkStringOutput(-3, -3);
}
Stop;

#---------------------------
end
