I don’t really know what category this post fits so I put it in game design support.
If you have uploaded your game, advertised it, and reuploaded the game to a group, would the ad still direct you to the reuploaded group game? I have looked around and I can’t find an answer.
No, if I understand what your saying the answer is no.
For example:
I have: Epic Cash Grab Sim 1. I spend X on ads.
If I remade the game to epic cash grab sim 2, ads would still go to epic cash grab sim 1.
What you can do is make a script that teleports players to the reuploaded game. This would allow you to use Player:GetJoinData and save the data from the first place.
Alright. Will I have to wait the x amount of hours the ad lasts, then once it’s over, I can relocate the game there?
(They last 24 hours but I don’t remember the exact time I uploaded mine).
You don’t have to wait, you could instantly just teleport users over to the new game if you wanted to.
Would it be good to leave a link to the new group game in the old one’s description? I’m not exactly the greatest scripter so it would probably be difficult for me (although for the game I’m not the main scripter)
Yeah. It wouldn’t be hurting anything, so I would.
Using TeleportService isn’t totally complicated. It’s a bit more complicated if you wanted to migrate player data to the new game, but a normal teleport isn’t hard to do.
Thank you for the answer to this, I couldn’t find any other page with a similar issue.
