How do I detect when a server is shutting down?

Asked by

I have a database that keeps track of all the servers in my game. I need it to remove a server when it is being shut down so that its no longer in the database. Is there a way of detecting a server shutdown, and giving enough time to send an HTTP Post request?

You'll want to use

game.OnClose = function()

like TheHospitalDev said.

There is also a new feature called BindToClose which allows you to bind all your "OnClose" functions if you have multiple.


game:BindToClose(function()
    print("Starting callback...")
    wait(5) 
    print("Done callback...")
end)

OnClose should not be used because it is deprecated. Use game:BindToClose from now on Validark 1580 — 8y

You could try using the OnClose function.

game.OnClose = function() --When the last player leaves, connect.
    --Do stuff here...
    wait(60) --Waits a minute, should be long enough
end
