Rejoin testing server?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Okay so I don’t really know where to put this but since it involves being banned and a script to do that I think this is a good place to do it.
So I made a little script that bans you.

table.insert(ServerBanned,1,PLR.UserId)
-- a bunch of lines later
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	for i,v in pairs(ServerBanned) do
		if v == plr.UserId then
			plr:Kick("You are banned")
		end
	end
end)

But the thing is: I don’t know if it works because I am unable to rejoin with the Player1 account that is created when making a test server. So do any of you know how can I rejoin on that account?
(Or could you tell me if that table would actually work because I have no way of testing it alone really.)

I thought RobloxStudio abandoned using PlayerX accounts in 2019?

No, go to the test bar in studio press “Start” on an icon with a server rack and youll get a server window + the amount of windows (players) you specified. They’ll all be named player1-8.

For me - I get a Player1 account on a 1plr Server Test (id -1). Maybe a Studio bug?

#5

Yea same. Though the question is how do I rejoin on that account when I was kicked by a script?

#6

Ah - I believe you can’t, I haven’t experimented with server tests much

They’re a great way to test the new leaked Display Names. They’re usernames are Player1 to (whatever) but their display names are ALWAYS player.

Hm not yet :frowning: I’m waiting for them, they’re available to us devs though. As a property of the player object.

There’s some rules;

The player’s display name will be always the same as their characters name. So you can’t do (game.Workspace[plr.Name]) but you can do game.Workspace[plr.DisplayName]. But you should just use plr.Character.

Multiple people can have the same one so actually no you shouldn’t do game.Workspace[plr.DisplayName].

They can’t have spaces, they can’t have… anything a normal username can’t.

He got kicked so he’s banned. So no issue with that.

But you should be using data stores to ban him obviously.
