How would you be able to filter the word "Place" in a random game generator?

BlueClothesPerson · July 13, 2023, 3:56am

Hello (sorry this is a repost, i didnt have answers before)
I was curious how you would be able to filter out key words in my random game generator because a lot of the games have the word “place” in it, which is something like BlueClothesPerson's Place. How would I be able to find the word “place” any where in the text, and if it sees that word, it would try finding a new experience.

Current Script

local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")

local GetInfo = function(id)
	local PlaceID = id

	local thumbnail = "https://assetgame.roblox.com/Game/Tools/ThumbnailAsset.ashx?aid="..PlaceID .."&fmt=png&wd=420&ht=420"
	local surfacegui = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.SurfaceGui
	local Info = MarketplaceService:GetProductInfo(PlaceID,Enum.InfoType.Asset)
	local CreationDate = MarketplaceService:GetProductInfo(PlaceID)

	if Info.AssetTypeId == 9 then
		surfacegui.Thumbnail.Image = thumbnail
		surfacegui.PlaceName.Text = Info.Name
		surfacegui.CreationDate.Text = Info.Created
		surfacegui.LastUpdated.Text = Info.Updated
		surfacegui.Visits.Text = Info.Description
		return PlaceID
	end
end

local function GetRandomPlace()
	local rnger = math.random(100000, 2147483647) -- you CAN'T go any higher than this or it won't work
	local success, PlaceId = pcall(function()
		return GetInfo(rnger)
	end)

	if success and PlaceId then
		script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
			TeleportService:Teleport(PlaceId, player)
		end)
	else
		GetRandomPlace()
	end
end

while task.wait(10) do
	GetRandomPlace()
end

I didn’t quiet understand what you meant by this before, and it doesn’t seem to work:

clx0de · July 13, 2023, 4:20am

give me a second im rewriting the script to work because its hard for me to correct the way u coded

clx0de · July 13, 2023, 4:28am

no idea if this will work

local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")

local GetInfo = function(id)
	local thumbnail = "https://assetgame.roblox.com/Game/Tools/ThumbnailAsset.ashx?aid=".. id .."&fmt=png&wd=420&ht=420"
	local Info = MarketplaceService:GetProductInfo(id,Enum.InfoType.Asset)

	if Info.AssetTypeId == 9 then
		return {
			Name = Info.Name,
			Created = Info.Created,
			Updated = Info.Updated,
			Description = Info.Description,
			Thumbnail = thumbnail,
		}
	end
end

local IgnoredPlaceIds = {}
local function GRP()
	-- Generates a Random Place
	local RandomPlaceGenerator = math.random(100000, 2147483647)
	
	-- Checks if the player has recieved this place before OR contains Place in it
	if table.find(IgnoredPlaceIds, RandomPlaceGenerator) then
		GRP()
		return
	end
	
	-- This Line Make its so you cant get the same place your recieved before.
	table.insert(IgnoredPlaceIds, RandomPlaceGenerator)
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		-- Recieves Information Needed
		local RecieveInformation = GetInfo(RandomPlaceGenerator)

		-- Fills out returned information
		local SurfaceGUI = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.SurfaceGui
		SurfaceGUI.Thumbnail.Image = RecieveInformation.Thumbnail
		SurfaceGUI.PlaceName.Text = RecieveInformation.Name
		SurfaceGUI.CreationDate.Text = RecieveInformation.Created
		SurfaceGUI.LastUpdated.Text = RecieveInformation.Updated
		SurfaceGUI.Visits.Text = RecieveInformation.Description
	end)
	if not success then
		warn(errormessage)
		GRP()
		return
	else
		script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
			TeleportService:Teleport(RandomPlaceGenerator, player)
		end)
	end
	
	
end

while task.wait(10) do
	GRP()
end

It still displays all experiences with “Place” in the name, but this is an improvement from the previous script. (Reason I want the word “Place” to be ignored and find a new game is because starter games have the word Place in it, which is pretty boring when 99% (or more) have the same thing and it is simply a starter place.)

Mortai_Yt · July 13, 2023, 4:39am

do you want to remove the word place from the text, or detect if the word place is in the text?

BlueClothesPerson · July 13, 2023, 4:44am

Detect if the word Place is in the text, and if it is, try to find a new random game

clx0de · July 13, 2023, 4:45am

o wait i forgot to add that part

SORRY, old one was wrong. Try this:

Try this:

local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")

local GetInfo = function(id)
	local PlaceID = id

	local thumbnail = "https://assetgame.roblox.com/Game/Tools/ThumbnailAsset.ashx?aid="..PlaceID .."&fmt=png&wd=420&ht=420"
	local surfacegui = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.SurfaceGui
	local Info = MarketplaceService:GetProductInfo(PlaceID,Enum.InfoType.Asset)
	local CreationDate = MarketplaceService:GetProductInfo(PlaceID)

	if Info.AssetTypeId == 9 then
		surfacegui.Thumbnail.Image = thumbnail
		surfacegui.PlaceName.Text = Info.Name
		surfacegui.CreationDate.Text = Info.Created
		surfacegui.LastUpdated.Text = Info.Updated
		surfacegui.Visits.Text = Info.Description
		return Info
	end
end

local function GetRandomPlace()
	local rnger = math.random(100000, 2147483647) -- you CAN'T go any higher than this or it won't work
	local success, result = pcall(function()
		return GetInfo(rnger)
	end)

        local PlaceId = rnger
        

	if success and PlaceId and not result.Name:match('Place') then
		script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
			TeleportService:Teleport(PlaceId, player)
		end)
	else
		GetRandomPlace()
	end
end

while task.wait(10) do
	GetRandomPlace()
