Reserve server not working

WaterCanxiety · September 20, 2022, 11:34pm

REPOST
My current is is that for some reason the reserve server in my game is not being called.

The code in my game has been thoroughly tested and has worked many many times before.
No changes have recently been made to the script that has made it not work.
Usually in Roblox Studio or in Roblox Player it will show that it’s called it, in Studio this is shown saying it can’t be called in Studio, in Roblox Player it just teleports the player.

There is the possibility I closed Roblox Studio without saving it or the Auto Save canceled, I am not sure, I am also open to the fact I did edit something and made that mistake and just overlooked it in memory.

Code:

--Variables and code for reserve server stuff
local MainMusic = game.SoundService["Distorted Reality Perception - Leon Riskin"]

local reserve = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.PlayFrame.GameTypeButton1
local debounce = false
local ScreenGui = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui

reserve.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	print("starting reserve")
	if debounce then return end 
	debounce = true

	local ts = game:GetService("TeleportService")
	local access = ts:ReserveServer(game.PlaceId)
	ts:TeleportToPrivateServer(game.PlaceId, access, game.Players:GetPlayers())
	warn("Teleporting everybody...")

	task.wait(5) 
	debounce = false
end)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = script:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Player")

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local isReserved = game.PrivateServerId ~= "" and game.PrivateServerOwnerId == 0

if isReserved == true then
	print("reserved is true")
	ScreenGui.Enabled = false
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	MainMusic.Playing = false
end

It is a Script in StartGui. The ScreenGui is completely separate.

I remember you posting this a while back and now I see a lot of things. First of all the script is in StarterGui and the Gui is in StarterGui. In this line:
local reserve = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.PlayFrame.GameTypeButton1

You are going into StarterGui, but the script is already inside of the PlayerGui.

You can try this:

--Variables and code for reserve server stuff
local MainMusic = game.SoundService["Distorted Reality Perception - Leon Riskin"]

local reserve = script.Parent.ScreenGui.PlayFrame.GameTypeButton1
local debounce = false
local ScreenGui = script.Parent.ScreenGui

reserve.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	print("starting reserve")
	if debounce then return end 
	debounce = true

	local ts = game:GetService("TeleportService")
	local access = ts:ReserveServer(game.PlaceId)
	ts:TeleportToPrivateServer(game.PlaceId, access, game.Players:GetPlayers())
	warn("Teleporting everybody...")

	task.wait(5) 
	debounce = false
end)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = script:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Player")

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local isReserved = game.PrivateServerId ~= "" and game.PrivateServerOwnerId == 0

if isReserved == true then
	print("reserved is true")
	ScreenGui.Enabled = false
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	MainMusic.Playing = false
end

Basically, you are getting the Gui from StarterGui and trying to get a click from that. Which you should be getting the click from the player who has the Gui.

Alright great this has worked, I just wanted some advice on this: Since the cameras are at a current parts CFrame, as you can see near the end of the code im changing the cameras type, though this just still captures the current parts CFrame, should I destroy that part as soon as the game is loaded or use CFrame? I have used the CFrame changing but I can’t as well because of some issues. sorry this is just a wall of text.
example: Camera.CFrame = player.Character.Humanoid

OwlCodes · September 21, 2022, 12:49am

I believe you should just beable to set the CameraSubject to the humanoid of the player’s character.

WaterCanxiety · September 21, 2022, 12:50am

See that’s the problem, I am having a ton of trouble correctly defining the players humanoid, it always results in error!
After testing the Roblox Player console shows that the way I defined it which should be correct is not.

OwlCodes · September 21, 2022, 12:55am

I am confused on what you are trying to do with the camera. Can you please re-explain to me?

Also, this is in a server script meaning only the server camera should change. I believe none of the players cameras would change.

WaterCanxiety · September 21, 2022, 1:00am

Oh sorry, I was kind of ranting there, I’ll change what I was saying.

After the player teleports to the reserve server, it will remove the GUI (which it has done), then because it’s something I’ve programmed, it will change the player’s camera back to the default instead of reverting to the “parts” (or custom cameras) CFrame.
I want the player’s camera to be set to custom, which it has just fine, though it’s not finding the CFame so the camera is not going back to the default. (It’s just continuing the Camera Manipulation.)

Now currently I am getting the local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

I could instead use what i’ll name CameraA and get: local CameraA = workspace.Camera
I have no idea what it may do but it could use that as the problem.

OwlCodes · September 21, 2022, 1:07am

Camera is a server thing. Meaning it will only change the servers camera and not the players. If you want to mess with the players cameras you need to do it through a local script.

WaterCanxiety · September 21, 2022, 1:25am

Okay i get this, though (sadly another roadblock and i am dense)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = script:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Player")
local ScreenGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui
local MenuMusic = game.SoundService["Distorted Reality Perception - Leon Riskin"]
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local isReserved = game.PrivateServerId ~= "" and game.PrivateServerOwnerId == 0

if isReserved == true then
	print("reserved is true for ClientSide")
	ScreenGui.Enabled = false
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	MenuMusic.Playing = false
end

LocalScript
it says i cannot call private servers Id in local script (obviously but i didnt know at the time), what should i call to verify? actually wait i just remembered i can use a remoteevent but that will take a while.

OwlCodes · September 21, 2022, 1:28am

I would just use a remote event. It sounds the easiest at the moment.

WaterCanxiety · September 21, 2022, 1:39am

Okay so i’ve gotten it to use the events though its not waiting until the player is detected in the reserve.
Script:

--Variables and code for reserve server stuff
local MainMusic = game.SoundService["Distorted Reality Perception - Leon Riskin"]

local reserve = script.Parent.ScreenGui.PlayFrame.GameTypeButton1
local debounce = false
local ScreenGui = script.Parent.ScreenGui

reserve.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	print("starting reserve")
	if debounce then return end 
	debounce = true

	local ts = game:GetService("TeleportService")
	local access = ts:ReserveServer(game.PlaceId)
	ts:TeleportToPrivateServer(game.PlaceId, access, game.Players:GetPlayers())
	warn("Teleporting everybody...")

	task.wait(5) 
	debounce = false
end)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = script:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Player")

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local isReserved = game.PrivateServerId ~= "" and game.PrivateServerOwnerId == 0

if isReserved == true then
	game.ReplicatedStorage.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
		print("reserved is true for ServerSide")
	end)
end

LocalScript:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = script:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Player")
local ScreenGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui
local MenuMusic = game.SoundService["Distorted Reality Perception - Leon Riskin"]
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local reserve = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.PlayFrame.GameTypeButton1


reserve.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer()
	print("reserved is true for ClientSide")
	ScreenGui.Enabled = false
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	MenuMusic.Playing = false
	end)

also sorry for dragging this on, if you can’t help no worries.

OwlCodes · September 21, 2022, 1:42am

What I would do is use

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    
end)

Then, check if it’s reserved. If it is, fire to the client.

Server Script

--Variables and code for reserve server stuff
local MainMusic = game.SoundService["Distorted Reality Perception - Leon Riskin"]

local reserve = script.Parent.ScreenGui.PlayFrame.GameTypeButton1
local debounce = false
local ScreenGui = script.Parent.ScreenGui

reserve.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	print("starting reserve")
	if debounce then return end 
	debounce = true

	local ts = game:GetService("TeleportService")
	local access = ts:ReserveServer(game.PlaceId)
	ts:TeleportToPrivateServer(game.PlaceId, access, game.Players:GetPlayers())
	warn("Teleporting everybody...")

	task.wait(5) 
	debounce = false
end)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = script:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Player")

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local isReserved = game.PrivateServerId ~= "" and game.PrivateServerOwnerId == 0


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    if isReserved == true then
	   game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireClient(player) -- You can fire to the client that it is reserved.
    end
end)

WaterCanxiety · September 21, 2022, 1:57am

Okay heres the client, I think its something on here because Server is fine.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = script:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Player")
local ScreenGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui
local MenuMusic = game.SoundService["Distorted Reality Perception - Leon Riskin"]
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local reserve = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.PlayFrame.GameTypeButton1


reserve.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
	 game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) 
		game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer()
	print("reserved is true for ClientSide")
	ScreenGui.Enabled = false
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	MenuMusic.Playing = false
		end)  
		end)

ill move this to another post because its somewhat off topic now
