Server redirect script

[phillipsincs]

I currently purchased a new server box under a new IP and I was wondering if it was possible to make a script to put in my old server so that when ever someone joins my old server they will automatically connect to my new one.

PlayerInitialSpawn and pl:ConCommand("connect newip")

or you can just lock the server and change the hostname to "!!!!NEW IP: whatever!!!!"

PlayerInitialSpawn and pl:ConCommand("connect newip") Ended up not working. I placed that in file in lua/autorun

hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn", "8==D", function(ply)
ply:ConCommand("connect 127.0.0.1")
end)

@ lua/autorun/server

I ended up getting this "FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE prevented server running command: connect"

This should work:

function Redirect(ply)
 ply:SendLua([[RunConsoleCommand("connect", "<INSERT IP HERE>")]])
end
hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn", "RedirectClient", Redirect)

Learn how to use the net library

server:

util.AddNetworkString "LeaveThisServerAtOnce"

hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn", "Redirect", function(ply)
  net.Start "LeaveThisServerAtOnce"
  net.Send(ply)
end)

client:

net.Recieve("LeaveThisServerAtOnce", function()
  RunConsoleCommand("connect", "ip")
end)

This is purely clientside. No networking or server involvement. However, it will be called a little while after PlayerInitialSpawn is called serverside. Pretty much the moment they have control over their character.

hook.Add( "InitPostEntity", "Redirect", function()
    LocalPlayer():ConCommand( "connect <Your IP Here>" )
end )

Thank you very much. That ended up working.
