Serverlist Player Table creation

[Outdoorrumble66 (Itot)]

Henlo frens.

Im currently making a server list system where you can create a server to add to an existing list of other player created servers for others to join. Ive done this with a UI table system that looks like this.

(Server list is on the left but it is empty here)

The way i have thought of going about this, is to create a table whenever a new server is created (we will call this table, PlayerTable). And if another player joins your server from the server list. They get added to your PlayerTable.

Problem is, i dont know how to go about applying that. I dont know how its possible to create a table with a different name whenever a new server is created. Is there actually a way to do it this way? or do i need to change my approach.

Create the PlayerTable on the server (for security reasons) and replicate the server UI for all clients. Whenever a player clicks on the server button it can send a remote function to request that player to enter the server (if it isn’t full), if it is full then the remote function will return false. Here is the server script:

local ServerList = {}

local servercreation = game.ReplicatedStorage.ServerCreation -- remote function, for creating servers
local serverjoin = game.ReplicatedStorage.ServerJoin -- remote function, for joining servers
local serverleave = game.ReplicatedStorage.ServerLeave

servercreation.OnServerInvoke = function(player, data)
	if not ServerList[player.UserId] then -- check if a srever already exists for the player
		local serverData = {
			["Name"] = data["Name"],
			["MaxPlayers"] = 8,
			["Players"] = {}
		}
		ServerList[player.UserId] = serverData
		return true
	end
	return false
end

serverjoin.OnServerInvoke = function(player, serverID)
	local Server = ServerList[serverID]
	if Server and #Server["Players"] < Server["MaxPlayers"] then
		for _, plr in pairs(Server["Players"]) do
			if plr.Name == player.Name then
				return false
			end
		end
		table.insert(ServerList[serverID]["Players"], player)
		return true
	end
	return false
end

serverleave.OnServerInvoke = function(player, serverID)
	local Server = ServerList[serverID]
	if Server  then
		for i, plr in ipairs(Server["Players"]) do
			if plr.Name == player.Name then
				table.remove(Server["Players"], i)
				return true
			end
		end
	end
	return false
end
