Any ways to make a "doorway" to another server?

[ottr]

I've been looking around and I realized I need this for my roleplay community. Basically, you'd walk into either a doorway or just a position, and this would connect you to a set IP.

No idea if this exists or is public or whatnot, so this is why I ask here.

Clientside, you would run [lua]RunConsoleCommand( 'connect', <serverip> )[/lua]

Serverside I believe 'connect' is blocked with Player:ConCommand

No idea why

Trigger that activates a point_clientcommand that connects you to a certain ip e.g. "connect 255.255.255.255".
Or just use ConCommand.

Well I'd want it automated and shit, which I have no idea if it exists. Hence me asking :v:

How do you want it to work? On a console command? Lua function?

If you're making the map yourself, add a trigger that connects you.

You would make the player do that..So lets say you have want the player to connect to the new server by pressing F1. What makes this a little more complex is that the client needs to run the command, but the GM:ShowHelp() function is serverside.

// Put this in a file you probably already have beginning cl_. basically, any clientside file.

function DoConnect()

RunConsoleCommand( 'connect', 127.0.0.1 ) // As you'll know unless you suffer from severe autism, change the IP here to reflect which server you wish the player to connect to.

end
usermessage.Hook( "Connection", DoConnect )

// This needs to be in a serverside file. Put this in init.lua which you probably have.

function GM:ShowHelp( ply ) // This is what runs when you press F1

                    umsg.Start( "Connection", ply ) // This tells the client we need to use the connection function we hooked in the example above.
                    umsg.End
end

So basically, are there any ways of replicating this code into an entity? :v:

[lua]
function ENT:StartTouch(ent)
if ent:IsValid() and ent:IsPlayer() then
ent:SendLua([[LocalPlayer():ConCommand('connect 255.255.255.255:27015')]])
end
end
[/lua]

?

This is serverside. init.lua of Entity script. (Or shared.lua however your entity is made)
