Server Join by JobId

Joalix_20 · February 10, 2024, 12:01pm

Hello developers, welcome to my very first post! Today I made a system that allows you to join a specified server by using a link!

Why did I make it?
First, I made that system because nobody did it before
And I made it so you can join a specified server just using an url!

What can you do with it?
You can make cool systems like a report system where the moderation team have to join a specified server

How to use it?

You just have to enter that link in any browser and follow some steps:

https://www.roblox.com/games/start?placeId=16302670534&launchData=[TargetGameId]/[JobId]

Follow these steps:

Change [TargetGameId] to your game Id
Change [JobId] to the server JobId
You’re done!

Warning : DO NOT change “placeId=16302670534”, only change the things I said

Update for people saying “I did not make it”

I want to clarify that the system I created does not simply involve using the link https://www.roblox.com/games/start?placeId=16302670534. My system actually allows users to join specific servers by using links containing unique game and server identifiers, known as “TargetGameId” and “JobId”. By entering these identifiers into the link, users can conveniently be directed to specific servers. I developed this system to make it easier to access specific servers, and I apologize if this was not clear in my initial post.

Here is how it works:

I made a game and added that script inside ServerScriptService:

local PlayersService = game:GetService("Players")

PlayersService.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local JoinData = Player:GetJoinData().LaunchData

	print("JoinData:", JoinData)

	if JoinData then
		local TargetGameId, JobId = string.match(JoinData, "(%d+)/(.+)")
		print("TargetGameId:", TargetGameId)
		print("JobId:", JobId)

		
		game:GetService("TeleportService"):TeleportToPlaceInstance(TargetGameId, JobId, Player)
	else
		
		Player:Kick("You have joined without the ServerJoin link")
	end
end)

What it does is that when the player join the game it detects the TargetGameId and the JobID and redirects you to the targetServer

I hope you like it! (Let me know if there is a problem)

You did not make that sort of system, You are telling people to use roblox’s link, I can tell as it uses www.roblox.com, and it’s obvious that you didn’t own the www.roblox.com domain

also do you know how do you get the job id of the server?

BrAlMeSo_Mc · February 10, 2024, 1:09pm

That’ll leave your game into the ‘Recent’ tab.
And if you join directly, what happens? Sends you to nowhere?

Joalix_20 · February 10, 2024, 1:13pm

You get the JobID by using game.JobId

No, I made the game that redirects you to a specific server, I did not make the link roblox.com I only made the game that is using that link to get the informations TargetGameId and JobId. I also updated the post so everyone can understand that.

To make it short: I made a game that redirects you to a specific server using the link: https://www.roblox.com/games/start?placeId=16302670534&launchData=[TargetGameId]/[JobId]
I obvioulsy didn’t make that link.

GameInspectors · February 10, 2024, 1:13pm

The place id takes you to this place that you made, you need to change the place id if you want to go to a specific server on a specific place

Joalix_20 · February 10, 2024, 1:14pm

I think you still don’t understand, IT IS supposed to take you to this place, and then when you are in this place, it teleports you to the TargetGame

GameInspectors · February 10, 2024, 1:17pm

It seems like you did this just to farm visits, it works on any place, not specifically to that place, and that place just gets you greeted with this:

Joalix_20 · February 10, 2024, 1:18pm

No, it only launch the game if you provided a valid JobID, if not, then it will always load

Edit:

I think you misunderstood, I made the link teleport you to this place with the information [TargetGameId] and [JobId] to then redirect you to the specified server using its JobId. Roblox doesn’t allows you to join a Server using its JobId with an URL, so I made that possible. Sorry if you misunderstood, I will be careful to clarify more how it works

Joalix_20 · February 10, 2024, 1:20pm

Maybe you want to see the main script of that game? so I can convince you that it works?

Main Script:

local PlayersService = game:GetService("Players")

PlayersService.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local JoinData = Player:GetJoinData().LaunchData

	print("JoinData:", JoinData)

	if JoinData then
		local TargetGameId, JobId = string.match(JoinData, "(%d+)/(.+)")
		print("TargetGameId:", TargetGameId)
		print("JobId:", JobId)

		
		game:GetService("TeleportService"):TeleportToPlaceInstance(TargetGameId, JobId, Player)
	else
		
		Player:Kick("You have joined without the ServerJoin link")
	end
end)

It just loads infinitely if you directly join the game.

Update: It will now kick you if you directly join

AridTheDev · February 10, 2024, 1:30pm

Okay, I agree with you that I’m wrong. But what @GameInspectors said is true.

Also, what’s the main purpose of creating this game? I seriously don’t see any use to this. If you want to join a game, just join it properly. If you have a private link, just paste it on the search bar.

Seriously, nowadays the resources tab is just piling up with these stuff. But yeah, I’m sorry for being rude here.

Joalix_20 · February 10, 2024, 1:33pm

Hi, first I want to tell you that I’m sorry if you misunderstood how it works, It’s entirely my fault I should have clarified how it works.

To answer you, I created that because roblox doesn’t allow you to join a SPECIFIED server with an URL
The only way to join a specified server is to enter this in the console:

Roblox.GameLauncher.joinGameInstance(GAMEID, “JOBID”)

So I wanted to make it more simple

AridTheDev · February 10, 2024, 1:35pm

I understand, but be sure to be more careful about this. More clarification in the post.

Joalix_20 · February 10, 2024, 1:36pm

Thank you for your understanding, have a great day.

Joalix_20 · February 10, 2024, 7:57pm

This can be very useful for system like a report system, the player can report someone using a report panel, then it will send all the informations including the link to join the server to discord and your moderation team will be able to directly join the server using that system

Misterx113 · February 12, 2024, 8:41am

Sorry, but this is wrong. ER:LC has this feature. But yes, I think there’s no open source version of this.

I don’t think it was you. Because it’s a Roblox link. Only Roblox can do this there. You found the feature but didn’t created it! Correct me when I am wrong. But thank you anyways for showing us this feature. Thank you for this #resources:community-tutorials

Joalix_20 · February 12, 2024, 11:03am

I think you didn’t read my post…

I said so many time that I created the game that redirects you to a specific Server, not the link. Please read all before commenting that it is not made by me.

Joalix_20 · February 12, 2024, 11:22am

Also, here is a longer answer if you want to know exactly what does that system: My system actually allows users to join specific servers by using links (The link was not made by me, it is a roblox feature) containing unique game and server identifiers that I added at the end of the link , known as “TargetGameId” and “JobId”. By entering these identifiers into the link, users can conveniently be directed to specific servers . I developed this system to make it easier to access specific servers. This can be very useful for system like a report system, the player can report someone using a report panel, then it will send all the informations including the link to join the server to discord and your moderation team will be able to directly join the server using that system

Here is how it works:

By entering the link (which was not created by me) where I added the TargetGameId and JobId information, the game named JoinServer System will directly redirect you to the server using its JobId.

Here’s the main script (OpenSource) that I made and placed into the ServerScriptService:

local PlayersService = game:GetService("Players")

PlayersService.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local JoinData = Player:GetJoinData().LaunchData

	print("JoinData:", JoinData)

	if JoinData then
		local TargetGameId, JobId = string.match(JoinData, "(%d+)/(.+)")
		print("TargetGameId:", TargetGameId)
		print("JobId:", JobId)

		
		game:GetService("TeleportService"):TeleportToPlaceInstance(TargetGameId, JobId, Player)
	else
		
		Player:Kick("You have joined without the ServerJoin link")
	end
end)

Basically, I made the link teleport you to this place with the information [TargetGameId] and [JobId] to then redirect you to the specified server using its JobId. Roblox doesn’t allows you to join a Server using its JobId with an URL, so I made that possible.

Would you like me to make a video to understand it?

lolbiIlyyy · February 12, 2024, 11:42am

Is there a way to join through a JobId on the website?

Joalix_20 · February 12, 2024, 11:59am

No, that’s why I made this thing. There are maybe some extensions to do that but I can’t recommand them since some of them can have malicious code that would steal your account.

The only way to join a roblox server using its JobID is to use my system or just paste that in the console:

Roblox.GameLauncher.joinGameInstance(GAMEID, “JOBID”)

You can also put that script in a game to teleport people to a server:
game:GetService("TeleportService"):TeleportToPlaceInstance(TargetGameId, JobId, Player)

(Correct me if I’m wrong)
