How do I shorten a code for a reserved server?

I want to shorten a code for a reserved server (like aba, liberty county, shinobi life etc did) and then have a player type the code in chat so they could join the server

Is there any way to shorten the codes? I couldn’t find the solution anywhere on the dev forum but I did find others with the same problem

This is an example of what the codes look like but I want to be able to shorten them

local TS = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ReservedServerDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("ReservedServerDataStore")

local reservedCode = TS:ReserveServer(game.PlaceId)
local Data = ReservedServerDataStore:GetAsync(game.GameId) or {}
local updateData = table.insert(Data, reservedCode)

ReservedServerDataStore:SetAsync(game.GameId, Data)

local function playerAdded(player)
	player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
		for _, Code in pairs(ReservedServerDataStore:GetAsync(game.GameId)) do
			if message == tostring(Code) then
				TS:TeleportToPrivateServer(game.PlaceId, Code, {player})
			end
		end
	end)
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	playerAdded(player)
end)

Alright so I solved this myself by using a table for a visual code and the real one and then saving it to a datastore

local reservedCode = TS:ReserveServer(game.PlaceId)
local visualReservedCode = tostring(math.random(1,999999))
local codes = {[visualReservedCode] = {reservedCode}}
if codes[visualReservedCode] then
local serverId = codes[visualReservedCode][1] -- teleport the player to this reserved server
end
