I frequently find myself switching between Studio and my browser to test something in Play mode just to make sure I’m doing everything right before I make the whole game in Studio and find out I have a million errors only present in Play mode. It would be nice if there were a button in studio that behaved like the Play button and sent me to a real server in the game so I didn’t have to keep switching between Studio/Firefox every time I wanted to play test it.
Can’t you use
TheAmazeman what if he needs to use BadgeService or other User functions that only work when the UserId is not negative
That doesn’t always simulate play mode perfectly. i.e. your userId isn’t what it is in play mode, you can’t buy dev products, etc.
Amazeman’s solution is exactly the same thing you’re looking for
Your alternate solution is to have an “Update place” that is friends only so only you have access to it. If you have good internet it takes no more time to upload that and go playtest that (using the F9 Console to check for errors) than it does to start up the server + 2 players.
Also the server + 2 players thing is super laggy. :<
I wish we could minimize the windows as they were opening. Because atm if you do, the game doesn’t “boot up” and start running for that client and it never does. (Just a grey screen)
Also, this is the “update place” I’m updating. Looks like the OP wasn’t very clear. I’ve updated it to make more sense.
