Help with friend joining system

[gravitycoil828 (Gravity)]

I recently changed my game’s place structure so that ReservedServers are in the starter place and NOT a sub-place. Now, whenever I try join via a friend, it just kicks me instead of letting me join then saying “Your friend is in a restricted part of this experience”.

Is there a way to fix this?

Have you tried enabling “Direct Access to Places” in the Creator Hub?

Enabling Players to Join any Place in your Experience

Hello creators, Joining an experience has always gone through the root place of that experience. As we continue to evolve our platform, we want to give greater flexibility for creators to enable players to join your experiences in more ways. Today we’re super excited to announce the first product change that will give you that flexibility. Join any place in your experience We are adding the ability for creators to allow players to join their experience from any place, not just the root place. …

That’s already enabled in the first place
That’s not really the issue though..

Before I migrated my ReservedServers to be in the starter place, it used to NOT kick me, so then I could teleport them to the ReservedServer if they joined via a friend.
Now however, Roblox kicks with an error code, meaning I can’t catch the error and I can’t teleport them.

No, you can’t do this, and you can’t find a walkaround.

Every single game that does such teleports to a reserved server ALWAYS uses a sub-place, and infact, that’s how it was made.

So you can’t fight this, and you cant find a solution.

To answer your concerns…

Exactly, that’s cause you can’t join the player if the server was reserved in the StarterPlace.

“Your friend is in a restricted part of this experience”.

Thats because it’s reserved, and you can only join reserved servers through TeleportToPrivateServer, and not through the join button!

That forum clearly stated this:

@tareyza

Joins that do not specify a server will continue to join only root places. This includes teleports, pressing the play button for your experience, and joins to any private servers, including reserved servers.

Which as you can see, Reserved Servers can only join root places.

This is the only solution

Make the sub-places hold that ReservedServer, not the StarterPlace.
And your issue will be fixed.

Mark this topic as solved in that case.
