DataModel

This property describes the ID of the user or group that owns the place. If the DataModel.CreatorType property is 'User' then CreatorId will be the Player.UserId of the place's owner. If the DataModel.CreatorType is 'Group' then CreatorId will be the ID of the group that owns the place.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	if game.CreatorType == Enum.CreatorType.User then
		if player.UserId == game.CreatorId then
			print("The place owner has joined the game!")
		end
	elseif game.CreatorType == Enum.CreatorType.Group then
		if player:IsInGroup(game.CreatorId) then
			print("A member of the group that owns the place has joined the game!")
		end
	end
end)

This property describes the Enum.CreatorType of the place, whether the place is owned by a user or a group.

If the Enum.CreatorType is 'User', then the DataModel.CreatorId property will describe the UserId of the account that owns the game. If the CreatorType is 'Group', then it will describe the group ID.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	if game.CreatorType == Enum.CreatorType.User then
		if player.UserId == game.CreatorId then
			print("The place owner has joined the game!")
		end
	elseif game.CreatorType == Enum.CreatorType.Group then
		if player:IsInGroup(game.CreatorId) then
			print("A member of the group that owns the place has joined the game!")
		end
	end
end)

This property describes the ID of the experience that the place running on the server belongs to.

This ID can be found in the top right corner of the Asset Manager in Roblox Studio. When using Roblox Studio, if the place has not been published to Roblox then the GameId will correspond with the template being used.

See also:

• DataModel.PlaceId, which describes the ID of the place running on the server
• DataModel.JobId, which is a unique identifier for the server game instance running
• TeleportService, which is a service that can be used to transport Players between games

This property is broken and should not be used.

This property historically described the Enum.Genre of the place as set on the Roblox website.

This property, along with DataModel.GearGenreSetting, no longer functions correctly due to genres existing on the Roblox website that are not reflected in the Enum.Genre enum. As a result, attempting to read this property may throw an error.

This property is a unique identifier for the running game server instance. It is a universally unique identifier (UUID), meaning that no two servers, past or present, will ever have the same ID.

Defaults to an empty string in Studio.

See Also

• TeleportService:GetPlayerPlaceInstanceAsync() which can be used to retrieve the DataModel.JobId of a user's current server.
• TeleportService:TeleportToPlaceInstance() which can be used to teleport a Player to a specific server.
• DataModel.PrivateServerId describes the ID of the private server the game server instance belongs to.
• HttpService:GenerateGUID(), a function that can be used to generate your own UUIDs.

This property describes the ID of the place running on the server.

If the place has been published to Roblox, this ID can be found in Studio's Asset Manager by right-clicking the place inside of the Places folder and selecting Copy ID to Clipboard.

If the place has not been published to Roblox, this ID will correspond with the template being used.

See Also

• DataModel.GameId, which describes the ID of the experience that the current place belongs to
• DataModel.JobId, which is a unique identifier for the server game instance running
• TeleportService, which is a service that can be used to transport Players between places

This property describes the version of the place the server is running on.

This version number corresponds with the version number shown under the Version History section of the place's settings. It is not the current version of the Roblox client. This property is 0 for all unpublished experiences.

When a server instance is created for a place, it uses the place's current version. If the place is later updated while this server is running, the server will remain at its current version.

This property can be used to display a ScreenGui showing the current version of the game to Players to assist with debugging.

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")

local versionGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")

local textLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
textLabel.Position = UDim2.new(1, -10, 1, 0)
textLabel.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(1, 1)
textLabel.Size = UDim2.new(0, 150, 0, 40)

textLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1
textLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
textLabel.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
textLabel.TextXAlignment = Enum.TextXAlignment.Right
textLabel.TextScaled = true

local placeVersion = game.PlaceVersion
textLabel.Text = string.format("Server version: %s", placeVersion)

textLabel.Parent = versionGui
versionGui.Parent = StarterGui

This property describes the private server ID of the server, if the server is a private server.

If the server is not a private server, then this property will be an empty string.

Private servers

Private servers refer to the following:

• Private servers that users can purchase from the games page
• Reserved servers, private servers created by the developer using TeleportService:ReserveServer()

PrivateServerId vs JobId

The PrivateServerId of a server is different from the DataModel.JobId. The JobId is the unique identifier of the current server instance.

Private servers (private or reserved servers) can have multiple server instances associated with them over time. This is because, although only one server instance can be running at once for a private server, new server instances can open and close as players join and leave the game. For example, no server instance is running when nobody is playing in the server. The PrivateServerId will be consistent across all of these server instances, and the DataModel.JobId will be unique for each one.

See also:

• DataModel.PrivateServerOwnerId, a property describing the owner of a private server
• TeleportService:ReserveServer(), a function which creates a reserved server

local function getServerType()
	if game.PrivateServerId ~= "" then
		if game.PrivateServerOwnerId ~= 0 then
			return "VIPServer"
		else
			return "ReservedServer"
		end
	else
		return "StandardServer"
	end
end

print(getServerType())

This property describes the UserId of the Player that owns the private server if the server is private.

If the server is a standard or reserved server then this property will be set to 0.

This property could be used to identify if a Player is the owner of the private server, for example:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

-- is this a private server?
if game.PrivateServerId ~= "" and game.PrivateServerOwnerId ~= 0 then

    -- listen for new players being added
    Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

        -- check if the player is the server owner
        if player.UserId == game.PrivateServerOwnerId then
            print("The private server owner has joined the game")
        end
    end)
end

See also:

• DataModel.PrivateServerId, a property describing the unique ID of private and reserved servers

local function getServerType()
	if game.PrivateServerId ~= "" then
		if game.PrivateServerOwnerId ~= 0 then
			return "VIPServer"
		else
			return "ReservedServer"
		end
	else
		return "StandardServer"
	end
end

print(getServerType())

The Workspace property is a reference to the Workspace service.

This property will always point to the Workspace and will never be nil.

The Workspace can also be accessed using the global variable workspace and the ServiceProvider:GetService() function. For example:

workspace -- a global variable
game.Workspace -- a property of the DataModel (game)
game:GetService("Workspace") -- workspace is a service

Binds a function to be called before the server shuts down. If the bound function accepts a parameter, it passes Enum.CloseReason specifying the reason for the server shutdown.

You can bind multiple functions by calling BindToClose() repeatedly. Bound functions are called in parallel and run at the same time.

The experience server waits 30 seconds for all bound functions to stop running before it shuts down. After 30 seconds, the server shuts down even if functions are still running.

To verify that the current session is not in Roblox Studio, use RunService:IsStudio(). This prevents bound functions from completing their run in offline testing sessions.

When you use DataStoreService, you should also use BindToClose to bind a function saving all unsaved data to DataStores. This prevents data loss if the server shuts down unexpectedly.

See also:

• Enum.CloseReason for reasons for the experience server shutdown.
• PluginGui:BindToClose(), which binds a function to a PluginGui close button.

Returns a table containing basic information about the jobs performed by the task scheduler.

In computing, a task scheduler is a system responsible for executing key tasks at the appropriate intervals.

You can also find live task scheduler statistics in the Task Scheduler window in Roblox Studio.

The first entry in the table returned is a reference dictionary containing the statistics (or headings) available. It is in the following format:

{
    ["name"] = "name",
    ["averageDutyCycle"] = "averageDutyCycle",
    ["averageStepsPerSecond"] = "averageStepsPerSecond",
    ["averageStepTime"] = "averageStepTime",
    ["averageError"] = "averageError",
    ["isRunning"] = "isRunning",
}

The subsequent entries in the table returned are dictionaries containing the above statistics for jobs performed by the task scheduler. For example:

{
    ["name"] = "Heartbeat",
    ["averageDutyCycle"] = 0,
    ["averageStepsPerSecond"] = 0,
    ["averageStepTime"] = 0,
    ["averageError"] = 0,
    ["isRunning"] = false,
}

This method returns an array of Instances associated with the given content URL. It can be used to insert content from the Roblox library. It's not possible to insert Sounds using this method as they do not have an Instance associated with them and have only a content URL.

Unlike InsertService:LoadAsset(), DataModel:GetObjects() does not require an asset to be "trusted," meaning that an asset doesn't need to be owned by the logged in user, or created by Roblox, to be inserted. However, if the asset is not owned by the logged in user it must be freely available.

Due to this function's security context it can only be used by plugins or the command bar. For an alternative that can be used in Scripts and LocalScripts, see InsertService:LoadAsset().

This function returns true if the client has finished loading the game for the first time.

When all initial Instances in the game have finished replicating to the client, this function will return true.

Unless they are parented to ReplicatedFirst, LocalScripts will not run while the game has not loaded. The following snippet, ran from a LocalScript in ReplicatedFirst will yield until the game has loaded:

if not game:IsLoaded() then
    game.Loaded:Wait()

This function sets the DataModel.PlaceId of the game instance to the given placeId.

Setting both DataModel.PlaceId and DataModel.GameId are required to access DataStoreService when the place is unpublished, for example a local .rbxl file. See below for an example. Note that gaining DataStoreService access from Studio requires the Enable Studio Access to API Services setting from the Security panel in Game Settings.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

-- access DataStore 'Data' by setting PlaceId to placeId and GameId to universeId.
game:SetPlaceId(placeId)
game:SetUniverseId(universeId)
local dataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Data")

Parameter

This function sets the DataModel.GameId of the current game instance to the given universeId. This is useful when testing local .rbxl files that have not been published to Roblox.

To access the DataStoreService in an unpublished place, both DataModel:SetUniverseId() and DataModel:SetPlaceId() must be set.

Fires when the user prompts an increase or decrease in graphics quality using the hotkeys.

This event fires under the following conditions:

• If the user presses F10, this event fires with a betterQuality argument of true.
• If the user presses ShiftF10, this event fires with a betterQuality argument of false.

This event does not provide the current graphics quality level or cover all updates to the graphics quality. For example, changes made in the core GUI escape menu are not registered.

You can retrieve a user's Enum.SavedQualitySetting using UserGameSettings with the following snippet:

UserSettings():GetService("UserGameSettings").SavedQualityLevel

If the user's graphics settings are set to automatic then the Enum.SavedQualitySetting will be Automatic. There is currently no way for developers to reliably get the current graphics quality level of a user's machine.

Parameter

game.GraphicsQualityChangeRequest:Connect(function(betterQuality)
	if betterQuality then
		print("The user has requested an increase in graphics quality!")
	else
		print("The user has requested a decrease in graphics quality!")
	end
end)

This event fires on the client when the game finishes loading for the first time.

The Loaded event fires when all initial Instances in the game have finished replicating to the client.

Unless they are parented to ReplicatedFirst, LocalScripts will not run prior to this event firing. The following snippet, ran from a LocalScript in ReplicatedFirst, will yield until the game has loaded:

if not game:IsLoaded() then
    game.Loaded:Wait()
end

• DataModel:IsLoaded(), a function that returns if the game is loaded or not
• Instance:WaitForChild(), a function which can be used to wait for an individual Instance to replicate without having to wait for the whole game to load.
