Server Redirect to New Server IP

[Hollistupid]

Hi all,

I need assistance getting this setup to re-direct people that connect to the old server to the new one. Code I have:

if SERVER then	
	AddCSLuaFile"autorun/redirect.lua"
else
	hook.Add("InitPostEntity","redirect",function() RunConsoleCommand("connect", "192.228.110.103:27015") end)
end

When tested and I join the old server, it crashes my game once it's done "Sending client info" any help?

I wouldn't use InitPostEntity for redirecting. Use gameevent.Listen with player_connect or PlayerInitialSpawn.

That method no longer works as it's blocked. I bypassed this by using player send Lua instead and it works with no problems.

Also use PlayerInitialSpawn when you use send Lua

Ugh I've little to no experience with LUA and need this quick. What am I doing wrong?

gameevent.Listen( "player_connect" )
hook.Add( "player_connect, "redirect", function()
ply:SendLua("LocalPlayer():ConCommand('connect 192.228.110.103')")
end

Almost everything...

You should use a structure like this:

 if SERVER then

hook.Add('PlayerInitialSpawn','Redirecttoserver',function(ply)

 --(your Lua Send stuff function here)

print('redirected '..ply:Nick()) --add this into check if a player get's redirected

      end)
   end)
end
