Hey there, im no lua brainiac, but i could use someone to help me with this.

Our community recently moved to another hosting and our old hosting will still be up for a week or so. How could i redirect players when they join old server/hosting to get instantly redirected to another server/ip? I've found some lua codes but they are old and don't do jackshit.

I could really use help with this.

Best regards.

Can't you ply:ConCommand("connect ip") on the earliest possible hook with Player object as an argument?

if SERVER then

AddCSLuaFile()

elseif CLIENT then

hook.Add( "InitPostEntity", "Auto-Redirect", function() LocalPlayer():ConCommand( "connect ip:port" ) end )

end

../garrysmod/lua/autorun/ Make a file called redirect.lua, paste this code in:

if SERVER then

AddCSLuaFile()

elseif CLIENT then

hook.Add( "InitPostEntity", "Auto-Redirect", function() LocalPlayer():ConCommand( "connect ip:port" ) end )

end

Make sure you edit the ip:port to something like 127.0.0.1:27015 (Whatever your server IP is)
