Well, you'll need basic knowledge to make this.

I'll show you the functions/events you need:

Functions:

createMarker 
redirectPlayer 

Event:

onMarkerHit

Click each one and read their syntax, they all have examples.

ok thanks a lot ill try to do my first script :3

[PaiN^]

Here you go, Try this one

The Script :

marker = createMarker( X, Y, Z, "cylinder", 1.5, 210, 0, 0, 255 ) 
IP =  
Port =  
  
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", marker 
    function ( player ) 
        if ( getElementType ( player ) == "player" ) then 
            redirectPlayer( player, IP, Port ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

And the meta.xml :

  

    "redirect" author="baruffa123" version="1.0"/> 
    

Here is what to do :

At the first line, Replace X, Y, Z by the marker coordinates ( You can get it from the Admin Panel in the game )

Place your server IP after ( IP = ) at line 2

And place you server port after ( Port = ) at line 3

And it should work

P.S. : The Script name MUST BE Redirect ( Like in the meta.xml code ), Or else it wont work .

You forgot the comma in the event and you have some simple mistakes should to be :

-- Server Side : 
marker = createMarker( X, Y, Z, "cylinder", 1.5, 210, 0, 0, 255 ) 
IP = "You,re IP" 
Port = "You,re Port" 
  
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", marker , 
    function (player) 
        if ( getElementType (player) == "player" ) then 
            redirectPlayer (player,IP,tonumber(Port))  
        end 
end 
) 

Should Have Admin Rights .

I would like to know why do you create a variable called "Port" with string type and then you convert it to number. Simply write the number as an integer variable in "Port".

marker creates, but when going thru it nothing happens!

My lua.

-- Server Side : 
marker = createMarker( 2504.8000488281, -1669.9000244141, 13.39999961853, "cylinder", 1.5, 210, 0, 0, 255 ) 
IP = "190.194.32.159" 
Port = "22003" 
  
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", marker , 
    function (player) 
        if ( getElementType (player) == "player" ) then 
            redirectPlayer (player, "88.198.11.8", tonumber("31338")) 
        end 
end 
) 

my meta:

<meta> 
    <info name="redirect" author="baruffa123" version="1.0"/> 
    <script src="Redirect.lua" type="server"/> 
    <object name="resource.admin"></object> 
</meta> 

whats wrong? thanks!

Edit: when going thru marker console says: redirect\redirect.lua:9: access denied @ redirectPlayer.

why is this?

[Castillo]

Add the resource to the acl group "Admin" at "acl.xml".

P.S: Remove:

"resource.admin"> 

from meta.xml.

ok ill try thanks

[baruffa123]

Thanks a lot it works perfect, thanks a lot to everybody!

[Castillo]

You're welcome.

Your code is completely messed up.

1st. Use local variables whenever you can;

2nd. Why is this:

Port = "22003" 

..needed if you are doing this?

tonumber ( "31338" ) 

It doesn't even make sense. Either use the variable or write the port number directly in the function, without tonumber or as string.

redirectPlayer ( player, "88.198.11.8", 31338 );
