I've created a quick demo of some stuff you can do with the new CreatePlace feature (beta access only). The code is uncopylocked in case you want to see how I did it. This creates inactive places in the universe that can be teleported to from within the universe. Read the description for commands.

Point that I'm trying to make is, couldn't you just spam 1000s of places?

Yeah.

"Create Place has a limit of (5 + #ofPlayers)/minute requests and you will receive this exception if you exceed this amount."

Limit per minute? Pfft. You can still spam hundreds and hundreds of places, if you stay in your place or especially if your place is popular.

In a full server of 30 players, in an hour, you could make like 2000 places?

I don't get it, what would you use this for???????????

Well, I personally am going to use it in an RPG I am developing to create a series of "dungeons" that parties of players can enter.

Only problem is, I cant use the feature to find out how it operates (And therefore see what I can do with it) :|

All of this is fine, But I would like to be able to make one central place where people join, but like 100 other levels for places that you cant join unless you are at the first place.. Is anything like that out yet?

@Oplmn, that's what this is.

@PeopleAskingForHow,
You use CreatePlace("PlaceName",idOfGameAsTemplate)

That creates a copy of the game at "idOfGameAsTemplate" (supposing it exists and is in the universe), and then names it as "PlaceName". It returns the id of the newly create place. You should always do things in this order (won't function, obvs)

newId=CreatePlace("New place name",idOfTemplate)
DataStore:UpdateAsync("PlaceInfo",function(old) old[newId..""]=someData end)
teleport(newId,plr.Character)

Also, make sure to save changes in your new place if you need to. It would suck to have it not save. Anyways, you need to have data in the datastore about the new place, because without it, you couldn't reaccess the game easily. For my "personal world" game, I save the following information:

owner=NameOfPlayerWhoCreated,
allowed={
UsernameOfAllowedPlayer=true,
UsernameOfAllowedPlayer2=true
}

I also save the "rootWorld" (the lobby, which is also the template) and a mapping of a player's username to the new id (for use with goto/username command).

Also, the SavePlace function will save the game like a personal server. You can do that if you need to.

k
this is cool but
please tell me you cant toggle BC only on
or else itll just become a money making machine
like come on

30 ppl = 300 tix in bc only
x 5 = 1500 tix per MINUTE
leave it for an hour = 90k tix
and if you make them go to the places in a sequential order but still make requests each time
you'd be making more than 200k tix an hour
das like 15k robux for just sitting there being afk
das alotta money

either that or idk wat im talking about
as usual
