Help plz!

[zippy36jr]

I have been stuck on what to do for this script i need for my server, I need it to make people auto join another server when the first one is full. For example my server limit is at 26 and i want to have it where once there is 25/26 on it will start to force connect to server #2. This is as far as i got:

if(SERVER) then
ServerLimit = 25
    for _,v in pairs(players.GetAll()) do
        if v = 25 then

        end
    end
end

im not sure what i need to so after this. All help will be appreciated!

Just do if v == #players.GetAll()
Instead of looping through the full list.
Edit:
To get a player to join another server do: ply:SendLua( [[RunConsoleCommand( "connect", "IP" )]] )

//If you want to do it your way
if(SERVER) then
    local i = 0
    for _,v in ipairs(players.GetAll()) do
        if i == 25 then
             (Whatevertheidentifieris):ConCommand("connect [ip]")
            local  i = 0
        else
            local  i = i + 1
        end
    end
end

// OR (better way)

if SERVER then
      if ( v == #players.GetAll() ) do
           (Whatevertheidentifieris):ConCommand("connect [ip]")
      end
end

//Both of these ways you'll need to hook it on PlayerInitalSpawn or OnConnect.

1. You cant use concommand to connect to a different server, its blocked.
2. Looping through the list is completely useless.

Don't forget to localize...

If you want it to be clientside

hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "server_kickjoin", function()    --earliest hook where clientside lua has been loaded (i think)

    if (#player.GetAll() == 26) then                --Since your player is already "connected", 26 here
        LocalPlayer():ConCommand("connect iphere")
    end

end)

I tried playing around making it serverside only, but it's awkward because ConCommand() wasn't initialized on the player entity yet. Neither net messages nor SendLua worked. I managed to make it work with a timer set to 1 delaying the SendLua, but that's bad practice. Just make it clientside.

That's a great idea using it on client side, but again you can't use concommand, only with RunConsoleCommand.

ConCommand when called clientside doesn't have connect on the blacklist. Code is fully working, just checked.

Really?
Thought it was blacklisted in both scenarios, my bad.
