Is there a tutorial on checking if the server is up-to-date?
This is still technically a coding question.
I want to know if it's possible to make it so it tells you if the server is up to date or not, like in Murder Mystery 2. I see a ton of games with a small board saying this, and I find it extremely useful. Anyone know where to find a tutorial on how to do this?

Here is one way: In the studio explorer, write a value of the server version. Make a module script with a function that returns the newest version. Make a script in your game that checks if there is a difference between the numbers.
When you update: You will have to change the version in the module script, and change the version in the studio to be the SAME.
All old games will be shut-down!
Code: ModuleScript:
local version=1 --Put whatever version you put in studio --MAKE SURE TO NAME THIS "MainModule", No Quotes, No Comma, and proper caps! return version
Game:
while wait() do
local num=require(PUT MODULE SCRIPT ID HERE)
if num~=game.Workspace.Version.Value then
local plyrs=game.Players:GetChildren()
for i=1,#plyrs,1 do
plyrs[i]:Kick("Game Updated. Please Rejoin.")
end
end
end

It kind of works. Not that well, though, and it doesn't work everytime. 0HappyManDudeguy0 15 — 6y
