Do you want to reveal the map based on one entity or the entire map?
 

local function MapExplorer(inst)
    local find = TheSim:FindFirstEntityWithTag("king")
    if find then
        local x, y, z = find.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
        inst.player_classified.MapExplorer:RevealArea(x, y, z)
    end

end

AddPrefabPostInit("world", function(inst)
    if not TheWorld.ismastersim then
        return inst
    end

    inst:ListenForEvent("ms_newplayerspawned", function(world, player)
        local mapexplorer = player:DoTaskInTime(3, MapExplorer)

    end)
end)

i want it to reveal the entire map for everyone that's comes online

[Grimshackles]

also my server just freezes when i run the script lol does it take time even before i log in?

[. . .]

I think this code will reveal map for all players I remember seeing it on dst wiki

also based on how big your map is and how many players and how many prefabs exist in world it will freeze up the game

 

for k, v in pairs(AllPlayers) do
  for x = -1600, 1600, 35 do for y = -1600, 1600, 35 do
      v.player_classified.MapExplorer:RevealArea(x, 0, y)
    end
  end
end

Isen't there like a better way,can't you give someone cartographer's desk map scroll with full map and make them read it so it doesn't make the whole game lag?

    inst:ListenForEvent("ms_newplayerspawned", function(world, player)
        local mapexplorer = player:DoTaskInTime(3, MapExplorer)

    end)
end)

 

it just makes the server lag and not work i tried leaving it on for more than 50 minutes but it doesn't work

Sharing map with cartographer's desk map scroll depending on how much map the player has revealed and if the player using it has very little map revealed will cause lag spike too for the entire game.

There's no avoiding lag spike when revealing the entire map unfortunately it's a demanding process on the server I assume which is why it causes lag for everybody

you can avoid it by starting a new thread

function EntityScript:StartThread(fn)

AddPrefabPostInit("world", function(inst)
    if not TheWorld.ismastersim then
        return inst
