Disconnecting a player?

Asked by

:Disconnect() is supposed to "Disconnects the Roblox client from the given server. The associated player, if any, is removed on the server. Nothing happens on the client." AKA disconnect a player from the game.

So I used it in a simple script that disconnects the person from the game when they click a gui button:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    game.Players.Player1:Disconnect()
end)

But when fired, it gave me "Disconnect is not a valid member of Player". So if that's not how I use the method, then how do you?

Your script is relating it to the Events method, the disconnect of NetworkClient is protected.

This item is protected. Attempting to use it in a Script or LocalScript will cause an error.

Try using this.

Protected means only the Core Scripts inside of ROBLOX are allowed to run the command. TofuBytes 500 — 10y

Try the Kick() method this shall work and help you immensely. The Kick() method disconnects the player from the game.

Oh, no wonder. I thought to look for a Kick method, but it wasn't on the list of methods so I assumed there wasn't one. http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Category:Methods emite1000 335 — 10y
