Put one in each place I believe

Oh ok. Sorry for that, lol. Thanks anyway!

Hello! So even with the waits it still teleports each player into a seperate server, know why?

[DestruidorDeHaters (dest)]

Thanks for the script but, is there a way i can modify it to make a special gui appear instead of a message? Because i’ve tried before but it just broke the script and the normal shutdown was back.

The script isn’t working for one of my games, It shows this error:

But when I copy-paste the same script into a baseplate it works, is there something in my game that I removed that is essential to this shutdown script? Please help.

This is cool but im also wondering how well this handles on big servers i have access 700 player servers but this seems it could easily be used to crash roblox by making bots join roblox and another bot shuting down the game mutiple timea to overload severs

Hi @HLVM,

I also use Datastore2. Please share your solution to make it work together with that.
(I am just a builder, so your current explanation is too high level to run with.)

Thanks in advance!

The thing is, that is true and false but mostly false. You see, Roblox uses VMs to run your games. So each server is given a range of how many resources they can use. Now, I am assuming that they can run hundreds if not THOUSANDS of games on one physical server. So, this wouldn’t cause a crash because: 1. Servers are limited to that said amount of resources
2. I don’t think a game has reached full 700 players in one server.
And even if someone did that, they’d be screwing themselves cause that’s 700 Roblox clients. And Roblox runs at about 1MB/s in and 1MB/s (internet) steadily and that would mean that someone is using 700MB/s or a bit over half of a gigabit trying to crash servers which wouldn’t crash the physically server because of logic.

Thanksss!!!, I love this so much…

Basically, after the stuff saves, it invokes a request to the script then when that is fired, it “soft-shutsdown” the game

Where do I put the script? (In explorer)

[chessebuilderman (Cheese)]

ServerScriptService. It should work in there.

[tysyaka (Mystic)]

How do you make it activate?

Just Curious.

[chessebuilderman (Cheese)]

Go to the game page and click the 3 dots then click shutdown all servers.

It shouldn’t be in a module script in Replicated first.
It should be in a script in serverscriptservice.

Doesn’t seem to work anymore is anyone else also having the same problem?

I tried out the version bunded with Nexus Admin, which is mostly the same, and it worked as expected today. There was a point where a Roblox update broke this, but I am not noticing it this time.

Hello I have a few questions, When i copy this script and put it in ServerScriptService do i have to modify anything or it will work automatically. Do i have to make script work for a server side and client side too or just a server side? If the script needs any modifications, can you please explain them to me?
Thank you!

@Merely

 system lets you shut down servers without losing a bunch of players.
	When game.OnClose is called, the script teleports everyone in the server
	into a reserved server.
	
	When the reserved servers start up, they wait a few seconds, and then
	send everyone back into the main place.
	

any tutorials on how to use it ?
