Attempting to get Bungeecord Teleportation Functional

[Zee1234]

Getting the thing in there in the way I put in my previous post... yeah that doesn't work. Figured out it was because those are ascii encoded characters.... I think. That's my best guess. So I went and reworked the code and made a "switch statement". New relevant code:

function StringLenToASCII(Player,a_String)
  local StringLen = tostring(string.len(a_String));
  local t = {
    ["1"] = "\0\1",
    ["2"] = "\0\2",
    ["3"] = "\0\3",
    ["4"] = "\0\4",
    ["5"] = "\0\5",
    ["6"] = "\0\6",
    ["7"] = "\0\7",
    ["8"] = "\0\8",
    ["9"] = "\0\9",
    ["10"] = "\0\10",
    ["11"] = "\0\11",
    ["12"] = "\0\12",
    ["13"] = "\0\13",
    ["14"] = "\0\14",
    ["15"] = "\0\15",
    ["16"] = "\0\16",
    ["17"] = "\0\17",
    ["18"] = "\0\18",
    ["19"] = "\0\19",
    ["20"] = "\0\20",
    ["21"] = "\0\21",
    ["22"] = "\0\22",
    ["23"] = "\0\23",
    ["24"] = "\0\24",
    ["25"] = "\0\25",
    ["26"] = "\0\26",
    ["27"] = "\0\27",
    ["28"] = "\0\28",
    ["29"] = "\0\29",
    ["30"] = "\0\30",
  }
  if(t[StringLen] == Nil) then
    LOG("The server name is incompatible with this plugin! Please make sure it is 30 characters or less!");
    Player:SendMessageFailure("The server name is incompatible with this plugin! Please make sure it is 30 characters or less!");
    return false
  else
    return t[StringLen]
  end
end

function ServerChange(a_Script,a_Player)
    local server = "TestServer1";
    a_Player:GetClientHandle():SendPluginMessage("BungeeCord", "\0\7Connect" .. StringLenToASCII(a_Player,server) .. server);
end

It works! This means I'm limiting a servers name in bungeecord to at most 30 characters, but 1) not many people would find a problem with that and 2) at a simple request, I can increase that to w/e number is needed relatively easily.

I did it with string.len instead of just indexes because I forgot about indexes and coded it that way. Hehe...

By the way, if I understand this right, that means that the second part is literally {NULL} {Start Of Heading} {Connect} {NULL} {Enquiry for 5, Shift out for 14} {Server name} which I find really funny if that's the case. I'd love any explanation/correction about this if it isn't just careful "bit hacking".

Edit: Fixed the code box
