server Server Event: OnServerShuttingDown

[Konijima]

Hello it's me yet again,

Some mods require to save files or data into files that are kept into memory.

The ability to save that data when ever the server is going to shutdown would be a blessing.

Suggestion

Adding a server event named 'OnServerShuttingDown' that allow server mods to do a finalization work when the server is shutting down.

 

Result

Saving files and data when the server is shutting down.

Wouldn't that be the OnSave event?

 

Always call save before quit so that the game has time to complete it's save.

You know what, I will test that thanks. I'll confirm here if it does it.

OnSave seem to be only a client sided event after looking at the source.

Added this into a server script file.


Called `save` and `quit` and no print.

So now that I think about it.

If adding a OnServerSave method, could probably get a param that specify if the shutdown signal has been given.
Would probably be good to trigger that event before the saving of the GlobalModData so that we can still change stuff in it.

local function onServerSave(isShuttingDown)
	if isShuttingDown then
		-- do something before saving only if shutting down
	end

	-- save stuff
end
Events.OnServerSave.Add(onServerSave);

Adding specification.
