Soft Shutdown Support

yeovns · January 27, 2020, 4:47am

Hi, I was wondering how I would be after to make a soft shutdown in my game. I currently have the script which MerelyRBLX made, and I’m confused what to do from then.

github.com

MerelyRBLX/ROBLOX-Lua/blob/master/SoftShutdown.lua

--[[
	SoftShutdown 1.2
	Author: Merely
	
	This 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.
	
	I added wait() in a couple of places because if you don't, everyone will spawn into
	their own servers with only 1 player.
--]]

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

if (game.VIPServerId ~= "" and game.VIPServerOwnerId == 0) then
	-- this is a reserved server without a VIP server owner

If anyone could get back to be regarding how to do this please comment. Thanks!

Here’s a link to the original post made on the forums. There are some instructions at the top, not much to really go by but it should be enough. I haven’t really messed around too much with it so I’m afraid I won’t be much help besides pointing you in the right direction.

Good luck!

Thank you for the post, as that will help a lot. The game:BingToClose is confusing me and also where to put the whole script. Like if I put it in a localscript where do I put it.

I haven’t read the script, but from what I am guessing, it should be a server script as these functions should not be accessible from the client.

Sounds about right. Server script, put in ServerScriptService or some other secure container.
