TeleportationService:ReserveServer | How do I work these?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Greetings,

I have a couple of questions and issues regarding this function while in the making of a Private Server System. Here are my questions and issues:

How do I reserve the server that the host makes?
How do I attach the name that the host has given to the reserved server?
How do I attach the code that I generated to the reserved server so other players can connect?
How do I make players connect if they write the correct code?

Thank you!

I have already seen that article. Didn’t really help. I am looking for code examples for my questions that are listed in the post description.

Here’s a small code example I tired to make pretty self explanatory!

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

-- Tables
local access_code_dictionary = {};

-- Values
local Place_Id = 0

-- Functions
local function ReserveServerForPlayer(player)
	local Access_Code = TeleportService:ReserveServer(Place_Id) -- The access code for the server
	access_code_dictionary[player] = Access_Code -- Stores the access code with the player object as the index
end

local function TeleportPlayers(host, players) -- host being the player
	local Access_Code = access_code_dictionary[host] -- Get the access code
	
	TeleportService:TeleportToPrivateServer(Place_Id, Access_Code, players) -- teleport the players all together
end

Warning tho!
You’ll probably want to store the codes in a datastore instead of a random dictionary lol
The example above is just meant to give you an idea on how they work

The first code example should answer your first 2 and maybe even 3 or 4 questions

The code example below is an example of functions that could be used to teleport the player if they gave the server a code

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

-- Tables
local access_code_dictionary = {}; -- You probably want this to be in a datastore

-- Values
local Place_Id = 0

-- Functions
local function CodeExists(Access_Code_Given_By_Client)
	for player, Access_Code in pairs(access_code_dictionary) do
		if Access_Code_Given_By_Client == Access_Code then -- Compare codes in the dictionary
			return true; -- If we find a code, return true
		end
	end
	return false; -- If we don't find a code, return false
end

local function TeleportPlayerByCode(player, Access_Code_Given_By_Client)
	if CodeExists(Access_Code_Given_By_Client) then -- Check if the code exists
		TeleportService:TeleportToPrivateServer(Place_Id, Access_Code_Given_By_Client, {player}) -- Teleport the one player if they gave a valid code
	end
end

These are just some examples tho and they don’t cover remote events or datastores — they’re also just from my current understanding of the TeleportService

My apologies if this post has any typos or errors, it’s meant to inform not be copy and pasted, I also didn’t proof read it
