How to add Game IDs to a blacklisted teleport datastore when a teleport fails

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi developers!

I’ve recently came across an issue where in a place roulette-esque game, some game ID’s simply won’t work and I can’t find a solution. I’ve then found that I can use datastores, but the teleport is located in a local script and I’m not sure how to determine if a teleport failed if the teleport script is in the local script and would not work if it’s outside of it.

TL;DR i need a way to make a blacklisted datasore for game ids that dont work!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated and here’s my local script code:

local players = game:GetService('Players')
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local tpservice = game:GetService('TeleportService')
local tservice = game:GetService('TweenService')
local regSSize = 1
local regSSizeFocus = 2
local regColour = Color3.fromRGB(88, 101, 242)

local info = TweenInfo.new(0.2,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out)

local er= script.Parent.Parent.error
local erroroccured = false
local erSSize = 2
local erColour = Color3.fromRGB(252, 130, 128)

local url = script.Parent.Parent.URLBox
local btn = script.Parent

local gtween1 = tservice:Create(url.UIStroke,info, {Thickness = 2})
local gtween2 = tservice:Create(url.UIStroke,info, {Thickness = 1})

btn.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	if player then
	local 	function isValid(id)
			local isgame
			local success,message = pcall(function()
				local gameid = game:GetService('MarketplaceService'):GetProductInfo(id)
				isgame = gameid.AssetTypeId == 9
			end)
			return success and isgame
		end
		
		if isValid(url.Text) then
			tpservice:Teleport(url.Text,player)
			end
	end
end)

url.Focused:Connect(function()
	gtween1:Play()
	url.FocusLost:Connect(function()
		gtween2:Play()
	end)
	url.Changed:Connect(function()
		if url.Text ~= tonumber(url.Text) then
			id = tonumber(url.Text)
		erroroccured = true
		er.TextTransparency = 0
	er.Text = 'Invalid ID / Game does not exist!'
	url.UIStroke.Color = erColour
	gtween1:Play()
	elseif url.Text == '' and erroroccured == true then
			er.Text = 'Game ID is required!'
		elseif id then
			-- valid
		else
			--invalid
		end
	end)
end)

There are some things like colour tweens that you dont need to worry about.

Again, any help is definitely appreciated or I can troubleshoot solo!

You could create a remote event where you tell the server to teleport the player instead of having the player teleport themselves.

Not entirely sure how to incorporate it. Here’s what I did:

local tpservice = game:GetService('TeleportService')
local tservice = game:GetService('TweenService')
local regSSize = 1
local regSSizeFocus = 2
local regColour = Color3.fromRGB(88, 101, 242)
local rstorage = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local tp = rstorage.Teleport
local dds = game:GetService('DataStoreService')
local blacklist = dds:GetDataStore('Blacklist9')

local info = TweenInfo.new(0.2,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out)

local er= script.Parent.Parent.error
local erroroccured = false
local erSSize = 2
local erColour = Color3.fromRGB(252, 130, 128)

local url = script.Parent.Parent.URLBox
local btn = script.Parent

local gtween1 = tservice:Create(url.UIStroke,info, {Thickness = 2})
local gtween2 = tservice:Create(url.UIStroke,info, {Thickness = 1})

btn.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	if player then
		local 	function isValid(id)
			local isgame
			local success,message = pcall(function()
				local gameid = game:GetService('MarketplaceService'):GetProductInfo(id)
					isgame = gameid.AssetTypeId == 9
			end)
			return success and isgame
			end

		if isValid(url.Text) then
			btn.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
				if blacklist:GetAsync(url.Text) then
					btn.Text = 'Teleport Failed: Game does not exist. This has been blacklisted from appearing again!'
				else
					tp:FireServer(url.Text,player)
				end
			end)
		end
	end
	end)
end)

url.Focused:Connect(function()
	gtween1:Play()
	url.FocusLost:Connect(function()
		gtween2:Play()
	end)
	url.Changed:Connect(function()
		if url.Text ~= tonumber(url.Text) then
			id = tonumber(url.Text)
			erroroccured = true
			er.TextTransparency = 0
			er.Text = 'Invalid ID / Game does not exist!'
			url.UIStroke.Color = erColour
			gtween1:Play()
		elseif url.Text == '' and erroroccured == true then
			er.Text = 'Game ID is required!'
		elseif id then
			-- valid
		else
			--invalid
		end
	end)
end)

This also ended up breaking the entire script.

For your local script change it to this:

local players = game:GetService('Players')
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local tservice = game:GetService('TweenService')
local regSSize = 1
local regSSizeFocus = 2
local regColour = Color3.fromRGB(88, 101, 242)
local rstorage = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local tp = rstorage.Teleport

local info = TweenInfo.new(0.2,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out)

local er= script.Parent.Parent.error
local erroroccured = false
local erSSize = 2
local erColour = Color3.fromRGB(252, 130, 128)

local url = script.Parent.Parent.URLBox
local btn = script.Parent

local gtween1 = tservice:Create(url.UIStroke,info, {Thickness = 2})
local gtween2 = tservice:Create(url.UIStroke,info, {Thickness = 1})

btn.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	if player then
	local 	function isValid(id)
			local isgame
			local success,message = pcall(function()
				local gameid = game:GetService('MarketplaceService'):GetProductInfo(id)
				isgame = gameid.AssetTypeId == 9
			end)
			return success and isgame
		end
		
		if isValid(url.Text) then
			tp:FireServer(url.Text)
		end
	end
end)

url.Focused:Connect(function()
	gtween1:Play()
	url.FocusLost:Connect(function()
		gtween2:Play()
	end)
	url.Changed:Connect(function()
		if url.Text ~= tonumber(url.Text) then
			id = tonumber(url.Text)
		erroroccured = true
		er.TextTransparency = 0
	er.Text = 'Invalid ID / Game does not exist!'
	url.UIStroke.Color = erColour
	gtween1:Play()
	elseif url.Text == '' and erroroccured == true then
			er.Text = 'Game ID is required!'
		elseif id then
			-- valid
		else
			--invalid
		end
	end)
end)

Next, create a server script like this (and make sure to put it in ServerScriptService):

local tpservice = game:GetService('TeleportService')
local dds = game:GetService('DataStoreService')
local blacklist = dds:GetDataStore('Blacklist9')

local rstorage = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local tp = rstorage.Teleport

tp.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, urlText)
	-- Do whatever you want here with the data store
	tpservice:Teleport(urlText, player)
end)

Hope this helps!

Worked, thanks so much! I couldn’t have figured this out my myself lol.
