Shutdown server on timer not working on public servers

I created a script that shutdowns server after 8 hours, but it should shutdown only on public servers.
The problem is that sometimes this not working and public servers not shutdowning and i dont know why.

There is script:

wait(1)
if game.PrivateServerId == "" then
repeat wait(0) until game.Workspace.DistributedGameTime >= 28800
	for i,Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		Player:Kick('The server was shutdowned, Reason: Servers Closing after 8 Hours')
	end
end

Really confused on why this not works sometimes, appreciate if you help me.

maybe players are joining after everyone gets kicked

this one continues to kick everyone after the time limit

if game.PrivateServerId == "" then
  while true do
    task.wait()
    if game.Workspace.DistributedGameTime < 28800 then continue end
    for i,Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		Player:Kick('The server was shutdowned, Reason: Servers Closing after 8 Hours')
	end
  end
end

ok thx i will try that in my game

#4

Why are you doing this in the first place? I need an explanation as this would just loose out on revenue

#5

because game starting lagging after hours of server being started

#6

i think that works for every games on roblox

#7

Then it’s better to find the cause of that instead of shutting down the servers

#8

if you cant find the cause you should probably use teleportservice to move everyone to a different server instead of kicking

#9

i meant that for every game, and its not fixable, you just need this to prevent lags after hours of server age

#10

thats as i know, i dont truly know

Then try this:

This will teleport players to a new, fresh server instead of kicking them out and hoping they join back. (beware this script is not tested)

local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local placeId = game.PlaceId -- replace with the actual place id if not working

teleportEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    TeleportService:Teleport(placeId, player)
end)

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		-- add anything you want here e.g. a ui that says "server restarted" or smth
    end)
end)

for _, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        -- add anything you want here e.g. a ui that says "server restarted" or smth
    end)
end

This will not count your 8 hours before server shutdown, it’s just an example of what you could integrate into your current code
