How do I teleport someone to a public server using TeleportAsync() but also make it private without directly setting it to private? (I can’t set it directly because then other people can’t join the server , I am making a level editor)
Just kick anyone who is not permitted to play?

TeleportService:ReserveServer() exists.

Yes, but I can’t do that or atleast I don’t know how. I tried that method for literally 18 hours.
It just lets the first player in and then not the other one, here is the link to both of my other dev forum posts about this:

I am making a level editor in my game.
There is a gray textbox underneath the play button.
The player can input their friends name in the textbox to join them, if they’re in the level editor place.
If the player clicks play without putting anything in the textbox he gets sent to his “private server”
If the player inputs their friends name and its correct and they’re in game they get teleported to their level editor place, if they’re not in game, or aren’t their friend or aren’t online it will send them back.
Everything works. Except the teleporting part… especially where we try to join the player’s friend. It just says that access code is invalid and other times when I try different solutions it spits out different errors… I tried using a public server, thought it worked but now people get teleported to the public server even when they dont want to, and want to make their own server instead.
This is the game:

okay, so from what i can see you’re trying to make a matchmaking system
here’s what u gotta do, first reserve a new server and make sure its a variable
local code = TS:ReserveService, then check if the textbox has text and teleport the players:
if textbox.Text ~= "" then
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerByName(textbox.Text)
if not plr then return end
local players = {game.Players.LocalPlayer, plr}
TS:TeleportToPrivateServer(game.PlaceId, code, players)
end
this should be ur final code:
local code = TS:ReserveService
button.Activated:Connect(function()
if textbox.Text ~= "" then
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerByName(textbox.Text)
if not plr then return end
local players = {game.Players.LocalPlayer, plr}
TS:TeleportToPrivateServer(game.PlaceId, code, players)
end
end)

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local serverDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("ReservedServers")
local owner="none"
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
if owner=="none" then
owner=player.UserId
local reservedServerCode=game.JobId
if reservedServerCode then
player:SetAttribute("ReservedServerCode", reservedServerCode)
-- lets also update the serverDataStore with this newfound information
serverDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, reservedServerCode)
print(reservedServerCode,player:GetAttribute("ReservedServerCode"))
else
warn("NO 2")
end
else
-- lets check if this user is friends with the owner
if player:IsFriendsWith(owner) then
else
player:Kick("You're not friends with the owner of this server.")
end
end
end)
This is my code for the level editor place, but an error occurs. I can’t for some reason get the JobId because its a private server, so I can’t get the server access code.
Server script in main game (not editor)
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local serverDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("ReservedServers")
game.ReplicatedStorage.tpServer.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,id)
while game.Players:FindFirstChild(player.Name) do
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
-- lets get serverDataStore, and that is the serverAccessCode
local serverAccessCode = serverDataStore:GetAsync(id) -- who we're joining
local tpData={
ReservedServerCode=serverAccessCode
}
print(serverAccessCode)
--TeleportService:TeleportToPlaceInstance(17503907776, serverAccessCode, player, nil, tpData)
-- lets try using TeleportAsync, instead of TeleportToPlaceInstance, while still teleporting the player to serverAccessCode
--local tpOptions=Instance.new("TeleportOptions")
--tpOptions.ReservedServerAccessCode=serverAccessCode
--tpOptions.ServerInstanceId=serverAccessCode
--tpOptions:SetTeleportData(tpData)
--TeleportService:TeleportAsync(17503907776, {player}, tpOptions)
local players = {player}
game:GetService("TeleportService"):TeleportToPrivateServer(17503907776, serverAccessCode, players)--]]
end)
if success then
print("Successfully teleported", player.Name)
else
warn("TeleportToPlaceInstance failed:", errorMessage)
end
wait(math.random(4,6))
end
end)
Local script in main game (not editor):
if script.Parent.leveleditoroptions.TextBox.Text~="" then
local nahs=false
local plr = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(script.Parent.leveleditoroptions.TextBox.Text)
if plr then
--[[local serverAccessCode = serverDataStore:GetAsync(plr) -- who we're joining
local players = {game.Players.LocalPlayer, plr}
game:GetService("TeleportService"):TeleportToPrivateServer(game.PlaceId, serverAccessCode, players)--]]
game.ReplicatedStorage.tpServer:FireServer(game.PlaceId)
nahs=true
