Hello!!
I have made two scripts, a local and server scripts and used remote functions to communicate with them. The local script is supposed to make a serverID for players to join. Then the local script recieves the remote function to check if the player has inserted the right code. Even if the player has in typed the right code, they still won’t be able to join. Furthermore when I click on the JoinServer, immediatly says this warning:
“please enter a valid ServerID”
I admit, I did use the assistant to help me with this problem, but not only it didn’t resolve the issue it made it more complicated.
If you need more information like explorer photo, or a video, you can ask me!!!
Script: Local
local BTN = script.Parent
local Rectangle = script.Parent.Parent["Rectangle 5"]
local RectanglePrivate = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Private["Rectangle 5"]
local Clicked = false
local ReplicatedStrage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local PublicVaue = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.PublicValue
local PrivateVaue = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.PrivateValue
PublicVaue.Value = false
PrivateVaue.Value = false
BTN.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if Clicked == false then
Rectangle.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(12, 177, 0)
Clicked = true
PublicVaue.Value = true
RectanglePrivate.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(35,0,0)
PrivateVaue.Value = false
else
Rectangle.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(19, 35, 0)
Clicked = false
PublicVaue.Value = false
end
end)
Server Script:
local players = game:GetService("Players")
-- Create a table to store ServerIDs and privacy settings for each player
local serverIDs = {}
local serverPrivacy = {}
game.ReplicatedStorage.ServerID.OnServerInvoke = function(player, inputText)
-- Check if the player already has a ServerID
if not serverIDs[player] then
-- Create a new ServerID for the player
local newIdValue = Instance.new("IntValue")
newIdValue.Name = player.Name.." ServerID"
newIdValue.Value = math.random(10000, 99999)
newIdValue.Parent = script.ListofIds
serverIDs[player] = newIdValue
-- Set the server privacy (default to public)
serverPrivacy[player] = false -- Change to true if you want default to private
end
-- Return the ServerID value and privacy setting
return serverIDs[player].Value, serverPrivacy[player]
end
players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
-- Remove the player's ServerID and privacy setting when they leave
if serverIDs[plr] then
serverIDs[plr]:Destroy()
serverIDs[plr] = nil
serverPrivacy[plr] = nil
end
end)
I’m on my phone and didn’t read the full code segments, but I would recommend adding some print statements throughout to find issues with the codes. They could be different types, maybe nil at some point, find exactly what the player typed and what the options are.
The thing is that it only checks if the user has typed in the right ServerID once, which is at the start when JoinBTN is clicked. How would you make it so it keeps checking if the user has typed in the right ServerID?
You are saying the “right code”, but never explain what that is. The code segments you sent are short, and don’t tell the server anything when the button is clicked. Are you attempting to matchmake players who type in the same code? Is there supposed to be a lobby time? More information on how you want this to work is necessary.
The serverCreator gets an IntValue with the ServerID, it is a 5 number randomised code. The serverCreator can show the ServerID to people. The people then type down the ServerID. However, when typing in the code, the player is unable to join the Server.
I don’t see any code concerning server joining or code entering?
So when a player crests a server, they are teleported there immediately, and other players can join over time? I’m still not seeing what the issue is? Check through all the server IDs, and print the information on the server when you do so.
The server is a ui not a place so they are kept in a lobby, until everyone had ready upped, then they get teleported to a experience place.
So you are making a party system, not a server system atm. Send the full code, or at least all of the systems that relate to this, as you currently aren’t showing much of anything that would matter.

I am pretty sure I have found the issue. In the code below i think it checks if the player has typed the right ServerID when the joinBTN has been pressed, which of course the user hasn’t typed in the ServerID at the start, since the value would be 0.
JoinBTN.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local ServerIDEntered = tonumber(JoinTextBox.Text)
if not ServerIDEntered then
warn("Please enter a valid ServerID")
return
end
I don’t know what BTN is, but as I’ve said before, you should invoke the function when they press it with what they’ve typed in.
BTN is short for button, sorry for not explaining that.
No I understand what button means lol, but you need to be doing this from a client context, and I believe if this is like a submit button, it should invoke the server with what Id is typed in
The JoinBTN is a button where it opens up a gui where you can type in the ServerID, it is not a submit button, the player would automatically join the server/lobby when the right ServerID has been typed.
What do you mean by the last part, like this?
local ServerID, isPrivate = game.ReplicatedStorage.ServerID:InvokeServer(JoinTextBox.Text)
if ServerID and ServerIDEntered == ServerID then
if not isPrivate then
ScreenGUI.ServerSelect.Visible = false
ScreenGUI.Server.Visible = true
CreaterPanel.Visible = false
JoinTextBox.Text = "0"
else
warn("Cannot join a private server")
end
else
warn("Invalid ServerID or ServerID does not match")
end
Then why would you send the client code for it? It means nothing? It’s impossible to understand what is wrong and what you want when you A) don’t give us the code and B) don’t debug it yourself(by adding print statements)
Also, you are discussing and coding as if there is a “Correct” serverID, when there will probably be multiple parties that each have their own party ID, you just need to ensure that a party exists with that ID.
Full code: local script
local ScreenGUI = script.Parent
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local CreateBTN = ScreenGUI.ServerSelect.CreateServer
local JoinBTN = ScreenGUI.ServerSelect.JoinServer
local JoinTextBox = ScreenGUI.ServerID.TextBox
local CreaterPanel = ScreenGUI.Server.CreaterPanel
local ServerName = ScreenGUI.Server.ServerName
local ServerIDNum = ScreenGUI.Server.CreaterPanel["Server ID"].SERVERIDNumber
CreateBTN.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local ServerID, isPrivate = game.ReplicatedStorage.ServerID:InvokeServer()
if ServerID then
print(ServerID)
ScreenGUI.ServerSelect.Visible = false
ScreenGUI.Server.Visible = true
ServerIDNum.Text = tostring(ServerID)
ServerName.Text = Players.LocalPlayer.Name.. " 's SERVER"
else
warn("ServerID is nil")
end
end)
JoinBTN.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local ServerIDEntered = tonumber(JoinTextBox.Text)
if not ServerIDEntered then
warn("Please enter a valid ServerID")
return
end
local ServerID, isPrivate = game.ReplicatedStorage.ServerID:InvokeServer(JoinTextBox.Text)
if ServerID and ServerIDEntered == ServerID then
if not isPrivate then
ScreenGUI.ServerSelect.Visible = false
ScreenGUI.Server.Visible = true
CreaterPanel.Visible = false
JoinTextBox.Text = "0"
else
warn("Cannot join a private server")
end
else
warn("Invalid ServerID or ServerID does not match")
end
ServerScript:
local players = game:GetService("Players")
-- Create a table to store ServerIDs and privacy settings for each player
local serverIDs = {}
local serverPrivacy = {}
game.ReplicatedStorage.ServerID.OnServerInvoke = function(player, inputText)
-- Check if the player already has a ServerID
if not serverIDs[player] then
-- Create a new ServerID for the player
local newIdValue = Instance.new("IntValue")
newIdValue.Name = player.Name.." ServerID"
newIdValue.Value = math.random(10000, 99999)
newIdValue.Parent = script.ListofIds
serverIDs[player] = newIdValue
-- Set the server privacy (default to public)
serverPrivacy[player] = false -- Change to true if you want default to private
end
-- Return the ServerID value and privacy setting
return serverIDs[player].Value, serverPrivacy[player]
end
players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
-- Remove the player's ServerID and privacy setting when they leave
if serverIDs[plr] then
serverIDs[plr]:Destroy()
serverIDs[plr] = nil
serverPrivacy[plr] = nil
end
end)
In here it stores all of the different ServerID’s. The folder called ListofIds
Read this, there shouldn’t be a single “correct” ID, also, you have one remote function that you are trying to do two separate things with, I would split it up into two. One will be the Create RF, and the other will be the Join RF.
