Issue with teleporting code

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m having an issue running a block of code to teleport to another place within a experience.
My issue code is right here
Prints are just to see what’s running and what’s not

```game.Workspace.SpawnLocation.Touched:Connect((function(rot)
	print("Found Part")
	print("Part Touched")
	if rot.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart" then return end
	print("Running")
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(rot.Parent.Parent)```

Everything is printing and it is detecting my player model but the
if rot.Name ~="HumanoidRootPart" then return end
Line is not running. I’m too confused as to way it isn’t running and I have tried solutions like rnaming the part its getting “rot” & other things but nothing seems to work. I was wondering if someone could help me out. I also haven’t found any other ideas on how to fix it on here.

I left part of the teleport script left out as it was running fine.

Thanks!

What do you mean by line is not running? Doesn’t it print “Running” at all? I tested your script(albeit edited it to not print “Found Part” and “Part Touched” all the time) and it printed “Running”. However, I see another problem in your script, being this line:

local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(rot.Parent.Parent)

Isn’t rot.Parent.Parent workspace? Maybe delete one of those .Parents.

Is this what you’re trying to do? This is a script inside a part. (probably doesnt need to be this nested but thought i get the point across)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Part = script.Parent

Part.Touched:Connect(function(rot)
	-- print("Part was touched")
	local isHum = rot.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if isHum then -- cool, its a person of some sort		
		local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(isHum.Parent)
		if Player then -- we hit a player's character
			print("This is a player!")
			Player:DoSomethingWithThisCodeIDontKnowImNotTheCodeMaker()
		end
	end
end)

I did miss add a parent in there and planned to delete it! It wont print running for me and that seems to be my main problem

This seems to work around my main problem but now it wont teleport to the secondary place.

Current code:
local success, result = pcall(teleportService.TeleportAsync, teleportService,"Place ID", {Player})

You forgot to change "Place ID" into the place you want to teleport I believe.

Just put that there as a place holder! That main piece of code is that problem right now as it doesn’t want to run

I would rather use teleportService:Teleport() instead. I know you stated that your current teleport script works before, but I believe it’s not done in the intended way. You see, TeleportAsync according to documentation reads

This function serves as the all-encompassing method to teleport a player or group of players from one server to another.

While it does say that it’s a method to teleport a player, it should be used for teleporting a group of players. Using this simple method would probably work better and take the weigh off your shoulder.

I’ve seen that you put quotes around Place ID making it a string. I am still somewhat inexperienced in Lua so I don’t know if that’s the case, but I find it kind of concerning that the brackets surrounds Player. Those are probably the main issues.

Try this.

local placeId = 0 -- Insert here, THIS IS NOT STRING, this is int
teleportService:Teleport(placeId, player) -- arg `player` is the `Player` class, it can be taken from Players.PLAYERNAME

Hope it fixes your issue! :slight_smile:

Thank you! This 100% fixed my teleporting error. Glad I learned something new!
