  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I want to make a system that reset everything in the server.
    Because in my game i have an explosion that destroys all the map and instead of kicking all players i want a system that reset everything and players can play again without rejoining.

  2. What is the issue?
    I don’t know how to do it.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I searched for years on forums, videos, and i found nothing.

How to make a server reset system

Get the whole server, and then teleport them all into a new instance of your game. If you are making a round-based system, that will require more coding on your part to manually refresh the whole map.

Thank you for your reply, i already take a look at this but i don’t know how to really do it

#4

I did a system with that but some players was not getting teleported so i didn’t know where the issue came from

#5

It would go something like this

local TPService = game:GetService("TeleportService");
local players = game.Players:GetPlayers();
local place = 0; --Change with the placeID

local x,y = pcall(function() --x is whether is was a success, y is their destination
     return TPService:TeleportPartyAsync(players, place);
end);
--Make sure you wrap it in a pcall, as there is a chance TeleportService may fail.


if x then
   print("Success!");
else
   --you can make a retry system here, this is where the script leads to if the teleportation has failed
end;

And is this script compatible with vip servers?
Like if it’s a VIP server it teleport back to the vip server?

#7

You can kind of achieve this by using a mixture of variables and ReservedServers (TeleportService | Roblox Creator Documentation) but players joining the VIP server may not end up with the players in the reserved server because of roblox api restrictions

Okay, i know a game that i think don’t use TeleportService for the reset system. Like you hear the sounds replaying in background with a blackscreen. Do you have any ideas how they can do that ?

#9

They would probably be manually using a lot of code to refresh the server themselves

It would go through the entire game, wipe a folder or model in the workspace containing the map, and create a new one.

Here is the best short example I can give of this based on how you described your problem

local everything = Instance.new("Folder");
everything.Parent = workspace;
everything.Name = "Map";
--place the map inside here

local map = nil; --Direct this to a copy of the map

function reset()
	for _,v in pairs(everything:GetChildren()) do --could lag, in that case uncomment the next line
                --wait(.1);
		v:Destroy();
	end;
	return "Complete";
end;

function rebuild()
	map:Clone().Parent = everything;
	for _,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		v:LoadCharacter();
	end;
	return "Rebuilt and respawned";
end;

Yes but how do i place the map inside Map if the folder isn’t created

#11

Create it in the workspace beforehand instead and name it Map, place the map in and make a copy of it in ReplicatedStorage

#12

Does this affect the game performance ?

#13

It shouldn’t, but if it does you can add a wait() inside of the reset() loop

#14

Okay, thank you i will try that

#15

But if i have scripts in other things like server script service and stuff how do i reset them?

#16

That would require manually putting in the support yourself to do that. I can’t really put it in for you, you would just have to make it know when to reset upon the server being reset

You could try making a Master script that disables and deletes all of the old ones and replaces them with new ones
