Locking a Server

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Here’s my issue:

Lobby teleports player to a Place1

Place1 receives player. Once enough players are in the server, or a pregame timer limit is reached, then Place1 stops recieving players. But I don’t want to just kick any players who are trying to join, I want Lobby to know if a Place1 server is already either full or out of pregame to decide if they can send a player with them.

I don’t know about the pregame timer limit, but I do know how to kick players when enough players are in the server.

You’ll have detect how many players are in a place, and if it reached the max count, then you’ll kick any player that tries to join.

The sample script below might work. I have not tested it:

-- Place this script in Place1

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local maxPlayers = 12 -- Change to your what best fits for your game

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	for i, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if #Players:GetPlayers() == maxPlayers then -- Use the length operator to detect how many players are in the server
			-- Code here
		end
	end
end)

I would recommend using MemoryStoreService or at least MessagingService, and reserving a server for Place1. This way a lobby can keep sending players to Place1 until its full, and Place1 can send back information to tell the lobby it came from that it is done.

Didn’t the guy just say he doesn’t want to kick any players who are trying to join?

You’re right. I can’t believe I didn’t see that.

Thanks for pointing it out. I edited my script :slight_smile:
