How to reserve and teleport to private servers

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    First note that my game has multiple places. I am trying to make sure that when a person uses a private server to teleport to another place, they’d be teleported to a reserved server, unique to the specific private server and not a public one.

  2. What is the issue?
    You simply don’t get teleported to a reserved server…

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I’ve tried firstly storing the code of the reserved server as a variable, then recalling it in the parameters of the lua TeleportToPrivateServer() function.

local circuitIDs = {} -- Won't add in the list as it is irrelevant and long.
local circuitNum = script.Parent.Parent.CircuitNumber
local button = script.Parent
local teleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local firstTime = true
local teleportNewServer = Instance.new("TeleportOptions")

teleportNewServer.ShouldReserveServer = true

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Teleportation.Visible = true
	if game.PrivateServerId == "" then
		teleportService:Teleport(circuitIDs[circuitNum.Value][2])
	else
		if firstTime then
			code = teleportService:ReserveServer(circuitIDs[circuitNum.Value][2])
			teleportService:TeleportToPrivateServer(circuitIDs[circuitNum.Value][2], code, game.Players.LocalPlayer)
			firstTime = false
		else
			teleportService:TeleportToPrivateServer(circuitIDs[circuitNum.Value][2], code, game.Players.LocalPlayer)
		end
	end
end)

If I remember correctly, DataModel.PrivateServerId is not replicated to the client. You have to handle teleporting on the server. (Or atleast check wether or not the server is a private server from the server and sending that data to the client)

#3

So does that mean that the rest of the code is right but you just need data from serverside?

#4

But also, what’s DataModel exactly? Does it have a purpose?

#5

No the rest of the code is not right because TeleportToPrivateServer() requires a table of players and not a player instance.

#6

So how to I fix that if I only want the player who clicks to be teleported?

#7 
{game.Players.LocalPlayer}
#8

The PrivateServerId property is not replicated to the client so if you want to teleport on the client you will need a RemoteFunction to check if the server is a private server and then send the value back to the client but the easier way would just be to use a RemoteEvent and teleport on the server.

#9

Simplest explanation is DataModel = game

#10

So I use a remote event from the server to tell the client whether or not the server is private, and then teleport the client? Okay. I’ll try that…

#11

One last thing though, if I use a server script inside of StarterGui to check if it’s a private server and change a value that the local script can access, would that work?

Something like this:

wait(1)
if game.PrivateServerId ~= "" then
	script.Parent.Value = "Private Server"
else
	script.Parent.Value = "Public Server"
end

And have this from the local script:

local circuitNum = script.Parent.Parent.CircuitNumber
local button = script.Parent
local teleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local teleportNewServer = Instance.new("TeleportOptions")

teleportNewServer.ShouldReserveServer = true

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Teleportation.Visible = true
	if script.Parent.ServerType.Value == "Public Server" then
		teleportService:Teleport(circuitIDs[circuitNum.Value][2])
	else
		if circuitIDs[circuitNum.Value][3] == true then
			code, privateServerID = teleportService:ReserveServer(circuitIDs[circuitNum.Value][2])
			teleportNewServer.ReservedServerAccessCode = code
			teleportService:TeleportToPrivateServer(circuitIDs[circuitNum.Value][2], code, {game.Players.LocalPlayer})
			circuitIDs[circuitNum.Value][3] = false
		else
			teleportService:TeleportToPrivateServer(circuitIDs[circuitNum.Value][2], code, {game.Players.LocalPlayer})
		end
	end
end)

Also thank you very much for your help so far.

Just teleport on the server.

Server:

local teleportEvent = -- a RemoteEvent

teleportEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player) -- the first argument to an OnServerEvent callback is always the player who fired the event
    -- reserve the server and teleport the player
end)

Client:

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    -- fire the teleport RemoteEvent
end)
