How to have a private place inside a Public experience

Help and Feedback Game Design Support

I do not know if this is the right category. i do not know where else this would fit.

I need a private place inside my public game to easily test badges etc. How would i do this? It seems you can only make public places, but that makes me feel very unsafe + Accessing a place inside an experience doesn’t work as it just teleports you to the main experience.
is there a better way to do this?

Try adding a server script into ServerScriptService in the new place.
Make the contents this:

local Players = game:GetService("Players") -- Gets the players service.
local AllowedPlayers = {1, 2} -- Replace 1 and 2 with the UserID's you want to allow in the game.

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- Once a player joins, connect a new function.
if not table.find(AllowedPlayers, player.UserId) then -- Checks if it's an unauthorized player.
player:Kick("You are not an authorized player!") -- Kicks them from the game.
end
end)

See how that does. ALSO keep the place very hidden for other players too.

I think you can private Places — I swear I’ve seen it before, or maybe it was a false memory?

I’ll see if I can get a method for you! I’ll provide screenshots if possible.

Huh, weird- I guess I was wrong. :frowning:

However, they are right. You could also kick the player if simply their UserId is not the same as the creator’s (your) UserId, unless you really do want a whitelist.
