Always post script. Copy the script and paste it between these
```lua
--paste in here
```

ik how to lol

#

ty tho

#

even went to chat gpt and that didnt do shit crying

#

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local MessagingService = game:GetService("MessagingService")

-- RemoteFunction to allow mods to request job ID by code
local JobCodeEvent = Instance.new("RemoteFunction")
JobCodeEvent.Name = "GetJobServerByCode"
JobCodeEvent.Parent = ReplicatedStorage

-- Function to generate a random 5-digit code
local function generateJobCode()
    local code = ""
    for _ = 1, 5 do
        code = code .. tostring(math.random(0, 9))
    end
    return code
end

-- Generate the job code for this server
local jobCode = generateJobCode()
local jobId = game.JobId -- Only works in live servers
local placeId = game.PlaceId

warn("[Server Job Code] Generated Code: " .. jobCode)

-- Publish job to global registry (optional)
MessagingService:PublishAsync("JobCodeRegistry", {
    Code = jobCode,
    JobId = jobId,
    PlaceId = placeId
})

-- Handle requests for a job ID by code
JobCodeEvent.OnServerInvoke = function(player, enteredCode)
    if enteredCode == jobCode then
        return {
            JobId = jobId,
            PlaceId = placeId
        }
    else
        return nil
    end
end

#

heres the server

#

local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local TeleportToPlayerServer = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("TeleportToPlayerServer")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local usernameBox = script.Parent:WaitForChild("jobidbox") -- used for target username
local joinButton = script.Parent:WaitForChild("joinjobid")

joinButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local targetUsername = usernameBox.Text
    local success, data = pcall(function()
        return TeleportToPlayerServer:InvokeServer(targetUsername)
    end)

    if success and data then
        TeleportService:Teleport(data.GameId, player, {
            TeleportData = {
                TargetPlaceId = data.PlaceId,
                TargetJobId = data.JobId
            }
        })
    else
        warn("Failed to find or teleport to player.")
    end
end)

#

this is the local:

#

and then theres the one more server script for the main game

#

local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local joinData = player:GetJoinData()
    local teleportData = joinData.TeleportData

    if teleportData and teleportData.TargetPlaceId and teleportData.TargetJobId then
        print("Redirecting player to target server:", teleportData.TargetJobId)
        TeleportService:TeleportToPlaceInstance(
            teleportData.TargetPlaceId,
            teleportData.TargetJobId,
            player
        )
    end
end)

Just making sure. Did you test teleporting in Roblox Studio? @cinder lagoon

#

Cause teleporting doesnt work when testing in Roblox Studio

cinder lagoon May 20, 2025, 9:29 AM

autumn dome Just making sure. Did you test teleporting in Roblox Studio? <@80299596400427016...

no in game, like 20 times

#

i like to really make sure lol

autumn dome May 20, 2025, 9:29 AM

#

Good. Then I will check scripts. Could you add the lua formatting to them? helps me see

#

just append lua like this: ```lua

#

in the script stuff

cinder lagoon May 20, 2025, 9:30 AM

#

Does it warn you of no players found

yes.

#

before i was using jobid

autumn dome May 20, 2025, 9:44 AM

I cant see TeleportToPlayerServer.OnInvoke happening anywhere. So i dont know why it doesnt return data or a false success

cinder lagoon May 20, 2025, 9:44 AM

if i was in the same game it would work

weird

#

yeah but jobid is for one game and what i need is across games

#

a game on roblox called project delta has a player tracker just like this

#

so i know its some what possible

autumn dome May 20, 2025, 9:45 AM

#

cinder lagoon weird

I mean, you didnt send it. Its not in the scripts you sent

cinder lagoon May 20, 2025, 9:47 AM

#

autumn dome I mean, you didnt send it. Its not in the scripts you sent

so do i have it setup correctly or?

autumn dome May 20, 2025, 9:49 AM

#

Dont think so. You are using TeleportToPlayerServer:InvokeServer
but TeleportToPlayerServer.OnInvoke doesnt exist in the scripts you sent me, meaning afaik it isnt use. I cant debug if i dont know how you handle TeleportToPlayerServer.OnInvoke

cinder lagoon May 20, 2025, 9:49 AM

oh

#

im fucking sped

bro i just need some sleep haha

You could use memory service to store the player's current server via job id, and when you search for him it should try to fetch the memory store and if it exists then teleport to the server via job id

jobid's is for game only, you cant use it between games like im trying to do.

harsh sphinx May 21, 2025, 6:09 PM

#

cinder lagoon jobid's is for game only, you cant use it between games like im trying to do.

Then you could save both place id and job id in the same memory store

cinder lagoon May 21, 2025, 6:09 PM

#

harsh sphinx Then you could save both place id and job id in the same memory store

im not smart enough lmao

#

something ill prolly do in the future

harsh sphinx May 21, 2025, 6:10 PM

#

PlaceId_JobId just save this in the memory store of the player and fetch it when needed
