Shutdown Message Warning On Update?

Conejin_Alt · January 9, 2020, 1:47am

I want to make a system where if i update the game, a message will popup saying that the servers will get a shutdown in a minute. But i don’t know how to do that, could you help me? Thanks if you do

This gives you the code for it. You can just delay the shutdown for a minute.

There is no way of “delaying” a shutdown with Soft Shutdown, the only thing Soft Shutdown does is showing a message when Roblox is shutting the server down (requested by the developer) and teleporting players to a new, updated server.

          			return
          		end
          		
          		if (game:GetService("RunService"):IsStudio()) then
          			return
          		end
          		
          		local m = Instance.new("Message")
          		m.Text = "Rebooting servers for update. Please wait"
          		m.Parent = workspace
          		wait(2)
          		local reservedServerCode = TeleportService:ReserveServer(game.PlaceId)
          		
          		for _,player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
          			TeleportService:TeleportToPrivateServer(game.PlaceId, reservedServerCode, { player })
          		end
          		Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
          			TeleportService:TeleportToPrivateServer(game.PlaceId, reservedServerCode, { player })
          		end)
          		while (#Players:GetPlayers() > 0) do
          			wait(1)

Wouldn’t editing line 51 delay the reboot? I’ll go experiment with it now.

EDIT: You can get around 30 seconds of a shutdown delay before roblox steps in and automatically kills the server(s).

Yeah, I don’t think line 51 delays the game shutdown. It seems to delay the player teleporting to the a reserve server, though, which would also be pointless if the game had already shutdown first.

Yeah that’s right, i can see that before that it is saying the Rebooting servers message.

If you test the script in-game, here is what happens with line 51 edited:

The developer (you) shuts down the game via Roblox.
A message appears on screen saying Rebooting servers for update. Please wait
If line 51 is edited the following can happen
- If it’s over ~30 seconds, Roblox will automatically kill the server with the generic shutdown message.
- If it is under or is 30 seconds, your message will display, the user will then be sent to a reserve server until servers have had a chance to die and then they will be teleported to a new server.
