Im getting this error.

This script is from gnomecode and its a tower defense simulator elevator. It teleports players after a certain amount of time standing in them.

Script:

local elevator = script.Parent
local safeteleport = require(game.ServerScriptService.SafeTeleport)
local primastic = script.Parent.Shaft.PrismaticConstraint
local players = game:GetService('Players')
local replicatedstorage = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local teleportservice = game:GetService('TeleportService')
local elevatorevent = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild('Elevator')
local countdownRunning = false
local moving = false
local playerswaiting = {}
local gui = elevator.Platform.SurfaceGui.Frame
local config = elevator.Configuration

local function setup()
	playerswaiting = {}
	local moving = false
	gui.PlayerCount.Text = #playerswaiting.. ' / '.. config.MaxPlayers.Value
	gui.Status.Text = ''

end

local function teleportplayers()
	local placeid = 11846983309
	local server = teleportservice:ReserveServer(placeid)
	local options = Instance.new('TeleportOptions')
	options.ReservedServerAccessCode = server
	safeteleport(placeid, playerswaiting, options)
end
local function MoveElevator()
	local moving = true
	for i, player in pairs(playerswaiting) do
		replicatedstorage.MovingElevator:FireClient(player)
	end
	gui.Status.Text = 'Teleporting'
	primastic.TargetPosition = -30
	task.wait(10)
	primastic.TargetPosition = 0
	task.wait(8)
	setup()
end

local function RunCountdown()
	countdownRunning = true
	for i=10,1,-1 do
		gui.Status.Text = i
		task.wait(1)
		if #playerswaiting < 1 then
			countdownRunning = false
			setup()
			return
		end
	end
	MoveElevator()
	teleportplayers()
	countdownRunning = false
end
elevator.Entrance.Touched:Connect(function(part)
	local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
	local isWaiting = table.find(playerswaiting, player)
	if player and not isWaiting and #playerswaiting < config.MaxPlayers.Value and not moving then
		table.insert(playerswaiting, player)
		gui.PlayerCount.Text = #playerswaiting.. ' / '.. config.MaxPlayers.Value
		player.Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame = elevator.TeleportIn.CFrame
		elevatorevent:FireClient(player, elevator)
		if not countdownRunning then
			RunCountdown()
		end
	end
end)

elevatorevent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local isWaiting = table.find(playerswaiting, player)
	if isWaiting then
		table.remove(playerswaiting, isWaiting)
	end
	
	gui.PlayerCount.Text = #playerswaiting.. ' / '.. config.MaxPlayers.Value
	
	if player.Character then
		player.Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame = elevator.TeleportOut.CFrame
	end
end)

Roblox’s teleport script:

local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")

local ATTEMPT_LIMIT = 5
local RETRY_DELAY = 1
local FLOOD_DELAY = 15

local function SafeTeleport(placeId, players, options)
	local attemptIndex = 0
	local success, result -- define pcall results outside of loop so results can be reported later on

	repeat
		success, result = pcall(function()
			print('teleporting'.. #players) -- teleport the user in a protected call to prevent erroring
			return TeleportService:TeleportAsync(placeId, players, options)
		end)
		attemptIndex += 1
		if not success then
			task.wait(RETRY_DELAY)
		end
	until success or attemptIndex == ATTEMPT_LIMIT -- stop trying to teleport if call was successful, or if retry limit has been reached

	if not success then
		warn(result) -- print the failure reason to output
	end

	return success, result
end

local function handleFailedTeleport(player, teleportResult, errorMessage, targetPlaceId, teleportOptions)
	if teleportResult == Enum.TeleportResult.Flooded then
		task.wait(FLOOD_DELAY)
	elseif teleportResult == Enum.TeleportResult.Failure then
		task.wait(RETRY_DELAY)
	else
		-- if the teleport is invalid, report the error instead of retrying
		error(("Invalid teleport [%s]: %s"):format(teleportResult.Name, errorMessage))
	end

	SafeTeleport(targetPlaceId, {player}, teleportOptions)
end

TeleportService.TeleportInitFailed:Connect(handleFailedTeleport)

return SafeTeleport

I can’t figure out why this isnt working, so all help is apprieciated!

#2

Idk for sure or what the actual problem is but i think it has something to do with the table of players created here in this line being nil.

#3

So what would I change, I still don’t understand what you mean.

#4

try to see if this works for the teleport script

local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")

local ATTEMPT_LIMIT = 5
local RETRY_DELAY = 1
local FLOOD_DELAY = 15

local function SafeTeleport(placeId, player, options)
	local players = {}
	local attemptIndex = 0
	local success, result -- define pcall results outside of loop so results can be reported later on
	table.insert(players,player)

	repeat
		success, result = pcall(function()
			print('teleporting'.. #players) -- teleport the user in a protected call to prevent erroring
			return TeleportService:TeleportAsync(placeId, players, options)
		end)
		attemptIndex += 1
		if not success then
			task.wait(RETRY_DELAY)
		end
	until success or attemptIndex == ATTEMPT_LIMIT -- stop trying to teleport if call was successful, or if retry limit has been reached

	if not success then
		warn(result) -- print the failure reason to output
	end

	return success, result
end

local function handleFailedTeleport(player, teleportResult, errorMessage, targetPlaceId, teleportOptions)
	if teleportResult == Enum.TeleportResult.Flooded then
		task.wait(FLOOD_DELAY)
	elseif teleportResult == Enum.TeleportResult.Failure then
		task.wait(RETRY_DELAY)
	else
		-- if the teleport is invalid, report the error instead of retrying
		error(("Invalid teleport [%s]: %s"):format(teleportResult.Name, errorMessage))
	end

	SafeTeleport(targetPlaceId, player, teleportOptions)
end

TeleportService.TeleportInitFailed:Connect(handleFailedTeleport)

return SafeTeleport

I think I already fixed this issue, thanks for the help!

incase you dont know, your logs says teleporting0, i can see in your code it says print('teleport' .. playerswaiting). so logically you gave the teleport function 0 players to teleport, which doesnt make any sense
