welcome back to the sandbox Tycoon

Series in this video I'll be showing you

exactly how to set up a plot system now

this system is not going to be one where

you choose exactly what which plot you

want instead we're going to be doing a

system where the server hands out plots

automatically I may do a series a mini

series that kind of adds on to this one

after the fact that adds in those

features that people request and

they didn't make it into the main

series but I'm not going to promise

anything but anyway we will get into the

video actually before that I'm just

going to promote my Discord server and

yeah so pretty much there my Discord

server is the best way to get in contact

with me and the rest of the you know

people that watch the videos so

subscribers or you know the community I

guess and essentially there's the you

know Dev support channel so you can you

know submit support on different for uh

you know you can ask for help

essentially there's project there's the

projects Channel where you can submit

your projects that you've been working

on there's a whole ton of stuff I'll

show you a you know screenshot of all

the different things or a video or

whatever showing all the different

things you'll have to come and see what

all come and join the server to see what

all of them are but

yeah anyway hopefully I'll see you in

the server and let's just move into the

video okay so the first first thing I'm

going to do is I'm actually going to

create a folder in server script service

now I actually forgot to do this in the

first video so we're doing it here but

anyway we're going to create a folder

and we're going to call This Server

modules the reason for that is we're

going to put a module script in here you

may be asking why don't we just put it

in modules well let me just let me let

me so we're going to call this plot manager

manager

okay and in here we're also going to

call this plot

manager we can just go ahead and duplicate

duplicate

that and basically what this module is

going to do is it's we're going to

create a server script actually here

we're going to call this plot man or

plot Handler so plot Handler basically

just a different name of saying plot

manager uh but the module is essentially

going to assign a plot now the module is

going to hold the functions to do that

we're also going to have another

function to

return the plot to the server now the

reason why we're putting it in server

modules and not modules is we want we

don't want the client having access to

setting players plots like that wouldn't

make any sense exploiters would go crazy

with that one they would set people's

plots to different things or whatever I

don't know they would just call it on

different things and they would

basically yeah go crazy so we don't want that

that

we're doing it in server modules so that

the client cannot cannot physically do

anything so let's just go ahead and go

into plot manager and create a couple of

functions so the first function is going

to be for assigning the plot so we're

going to say plot manager Dot and then

we're going to do

assign uh plot this is going to take in

two parameters the one first one is

going to be the location and the second

one's going to be the player that we are

now in this function really all we're

going to do is we're going to make a for

Loop which is going to be four IV in

pairs and we're going to loop around Lo get

get

children we're going to say do

and we are actually going to yeah so I

guess this is it actually then what we

can say is we can check if and actually

I'm going to change V to

PLT uh just for the sake of making this

more readable so if PLT Dot and

basically what we're going to be

checking is if this owner value is empty

so if it is we're going to set the plot

to that player so we're going to say if

plot. owner. value is equal to an empty

string then we're going

to return or we're going to set PLT do whoops

whoops

owner. value

uh to whoops plr

do pl.

name so you may be wondering why are we

not just saying if PLT is equal to nil

well string values actually

don't you for some reason at least in my

experiences they

don't empty values are equal to an empty

string and not nil for some reason I

don't know why this is if you know

comment down below and help people out

but if you don't just know that this

value is an empty string and not nil I

don't know why it makes no sense

but yeah it is that's the way it is and

yeah so you can't check if it's equal to

nil you have to check if it's empty

string for this to work so then of

course we also have to break out of this

Loop so we're just going to call Break

um or write out the break statement

which basically is just going to break

out the loop because we don't want to be

setting multiple plots to our player

it's kind of the thing we're trying to

avoid putting this in server uh server

modules uh so the second function is

going to be again we're going to say

plot manager Dot and this is going to be

return plot

okay again this is going to take in two

parameters the uh actually no we're just

going to give the oh never mind mind we

are actually going to need that one so

we're the same amount of parameters as

the other one so then we can also put a

four I PLT in pairs Loop we can loop around

around [Music]

[Music]

the children and of course I put an

needed okay so here instead of checking

if the value is equal to to this empty

string we are actually going to be

checking if PLT do owner. value is equal

to plr name and if it is we're going to

return PLT and then we don't have to

write our break since return already

stops the code from

running so the reason why we're doing

this function is this is going to be if

the client requests the plot then we can

easily just hand it out to them because

the client is going to need to know the

plot that they have

have so

yeah this is just going to be how we're

going to do it okay so now in plot

Handler we're going to need a couple of

different things so first off I'm just

going to get uh the player service which

is going to be equal to game get service

and then players if I could type then we

are going to get the uh module so we can

say local PL plot

manager equals require and then we can

give it not a

string scripts.

parent. uh server

modules. plot

manager and that's essentially going to

give us the plot manager it's going to

return the functions allow us to use

them as you can see if we type plot

manager dot it's going to give us a list

of the

functions so that's that so now we can

say when someone joins the game so

player added then we can connect

to we're going to call this function

we're actually going to declare a

function up here so

local function you may be wondering if

you're new to scripting and all you

should know this but if you are just

watching this the reason why we didn't

declare local is because this is going

in here and we don't want everything to be

be local

local

um so we Define local function and I'm

going to call this function I don't know

let's see what would be a good name so

what are we trying to do when the player

joins we're going to what assign the

plot so we're going to just we're going

to again call this assign plot and we're

going to give this plr and then we can

assign to or connect to sign plot so

when the player joins the game we're

going to invoke this function invoke

just means call the

function so all we're going going to do

is call on the plot manager assign plot

and we just give it the player that just

joined the game that's all there is to

it now we're also going to be making a

function so local

function and we're going to call it

request plot we're again going to give

pass the player now this is going to be

needing a remote function so we're going

to use a remote function here we're

going to do duplicate request placement

and we're going to call this instead of

request placement we're going to call

this request

plot so we're actually going to go and

get that up here so

local uh remote R RF is going to be

equal to we're actually just going to

get the replicated storage service so

local replicated whoops

look replicated storage equals game get

service replicated storeage

so then we can say that the we can just

give it the path so we can say

replicated storage Dot and then we can

see signals do remotes do functions do

request plot and that's all there is to

it then we can fire that when the when

it's called so down here we're going to

put it right above here uh remote RF do

on server in

basically on server invoke is

essentially when we call or we send

information to the server and then we

have to give it a function so we can say

on server invoke this is basically when

the remote function is fired or invoked

we can just set that to request plot and

we get rid of that so pretty simple syntax

all it's saying is instead of connecting

to the function we just pass in this

function here we don't give it

parameters unless well no we don't give

her parameters here we don't or open and

closing parentheses is what I

meant so what we can do is we can

essentially just return or first off we

need to check

check

um you know what actually know we don't

need to do anything we can simply just

return plot manager if I can type here return

return

plot of course we will have to give the

location I actually forgot about that up

here so the location in this case is

just going to be uh workspace do

plots yep or

lowercase so again we're going to need the

the

workspace plots and then we give it a

okay so now everything should line up if

we call return plot we we get the

location it Loops through if the owner

is equal to the name then we

return so now we have two functions how

do we use them well let's go down

into let's say client

placement and instead of in here instead

of function RF we are going to

going to just duplicate that line we're

going to call this get plot RF actually

you know I'm just going to call it get

plot and instead of request placement we

can just replace that with

plot so that's just going to get this

thing so we can actually just create a

variable to Fire and get the plot so

instead of workspace plots. plot one we

can set it to get

plot and then we can say invoke

server yep server so now this is going

to fire and whatever it returns whatever

whatever this function uh whatever this

function returns we're going to set that

works all right so let's see what plot

we were given so obviously plot one

let's just make sure we didn't get plot two

two

3 or four I'll click on plot one and as

you can see it worked we have the

placement system working it puts it into

the correct

plot and yeah this is pretty much it so

you may be saying to yourself well we

didn't teleport to the plot

plot

so that's actually quite simple now we

are actually going to do it a little bit

of a um whatever you call it we're going

to be doing it a little bit of a

interesting way so instead of actually

doing the math and calculating okay if

the plot is rotated this way then just

move it to here or something we're just

going to create a part that we're going

to teleport to so I'm going to create

four parts here so 1 2 3

four and I'm just going to select them

all so I can give them properties the

same I'm just going to make these

anchored we're going to turn C cide off

so there's absolutely no way that they

can figure out that they're here

we're going to set the transparency to

0.5 and then basically we just have

to put them in the place that we want so

we can bring

this right here can bring this one

one

right here by the way if you don't know

how to teleport to uh Parts like this

you just press F on the

keyboard so it's really actually quite

useful just going to put this one right

here and that looks good so now we can

just call these wonder is there a way

to no I'm just going to call each one of these

these

Telly so just like

that same thing with this

one that

one that one so now if we open up here

we can just say that okay this one goes

this one is plot three and then this one's

one's

obviously plot

four so we're going to put a script in

starter character scripts or maybe

starter player scripts I don't remember

which one I think starter character

scripts is what we're going to use

because that's whenever the character

load so that actually is good so we can

say that local character since this is

going to load in the character is just

equal to script. par because that's

going to be what it is and if we want to

test that out we could just print it out

I'm not going to do that I know this is

going to work but yeah so how do we get

the well plot well we're actually going

to go in here and we're just going to

copy what do we need we

need basically

this so we're going to paste it in we're

going to get rid of you know never mind

we don't need that oh right and we're

also going to

here put services at the

top and okay so now we have everything

that we need except we don't need this

one right here

here

so we're going to yeah what we're going

to do is we're going to say that yeah

we're going to request a plot so we're

going to say that local plot equals uh

get plot

and then invoke

server and then below that we can say

character set primary part whoops oh yeah

yeah

set primary part cframe we give it a new

cframe we can give it plot. X or whoops plot.

plot.

do cframe dox plot

do Telly do

cframe doy and actually on the Y I'm

ploty

dot cframe here we go so now we have all

of our

axes now what do we do we uh have to say

CF frame. new of

course so this should actually be it if

we hit play hopefully we'll teleport to

the correct

plot as you can see we did so that is

essentially all we have to do very

simple that's it so I'm just going to

call this teleport script or

teleport Char I'm going to call it teleport

teleport

Char and then finally I'm just going to

click on all of these teleport bricks

and make them fully invisible so we

don't know that we're teleporting onto

them and it doesn't look weird like when

I just tested it so anyway hopefully

this did help you I'm going to go over

the code one more time just to make sure

that it is you know making sense so

first of all we make a met plot or a

module it's going to contain two

functions the first one is going to

assign the plot so that's we Loop

through the location provided then we

check if the owner is equal to an empty

string remember we have to say empty

string and not a nle value

so yeah and if it is if this returns

true then we are going to sent that to

the player the player's name not the

player itself we're not using object

values like I did in the last series and

then of course we just go ahead and

break and these ends do the rest they

yeah and the function so anyway in the

second function this is going to handle

returning the plot so it's essentially

the exact same thing as this

instead well it's slightly different the

changed bit is essentially right here

this is the big point so pt. owner.

value so if pl. owner. value is equal to

the player. name or the player name then

we're just going to go ahead and return the

the

plot and obviously in plot Handler we

are just going to create a couple of

functions to handle those we may like I

created functions so that if we wanted

to add in something we don't have to do

it 100 times um I guess we would be

creating functions either way if I did

connect to a function but this just

makes it easier I like to create

functions that actually have names

anyway this just Returns the plot uh

when the client requests it and this

assigns the plot when the player joins the

the

game and of course in here we get the

plot from here as well as in teleport CH

and I'm pretty sure you probably will

know what this is so anyway that's that

I'll see you in the next video let me

just test it one more time just to prove

that it works

and here we

go that is that's all there is so anyway

hopefully this helped and I'll see you
