Hi, I am repliicated, and today I started working on an interactive showcase game, The Light. It has not been released to the public yet. Basically, you spawn in a bright white place, hence the name, and can choose to go back into the living world, or die. It is based off, “Don’t go into the light!” I’m using TeleportService to teleport the player into a game with a graveyard, if they choose death. If they choose life, they’re going to be waking up in a hospital bed. I’m getting this error when touching the death portal:
local life = workspace.Life
local death = workspace.Death
local tp = game:GetService("TeleportService")
death.Portal.Touched:Connect(function(player, touchPart)
if touchPart.Name ~= "Baseplate" then
tp:Teleport(6237172910, player)
end
end)
life.Portal.Touched:Connect(function(player, touchPart) -- this part is not ready yet, I just copied the death part and yea
if touchPart.Name ~= "Baseplate" then
tp:Teleport(6237172910, player)
end
end)
Are you sure you’re trying to index the Part that it touched? I think the first argument is supposed to be what it actually touched and the other arguments are just data to send in, so maybe you could do something like this?
death.Portal.Touched:Connect(function(touchPart)
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(touchPart.Parent)
if Player then
tp:Teleport(6237172910, player)
end
end
The BasePart.Touched event takes only one parameter, which would be the part that touched the instance. Typically, you can find the parameter named hit or something like that. For example, if a character’s left leg touched the instance, then the first parameter would be the left leg.
Based on what you’re trying to do, perhaps this code will be more suiting:
death.Portal.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
-- Check if it's an actual character touching the part
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
-- Now, get the actual player
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
-- Now, we'll just make sure the player exists. More than likely, it should, but it's safe to just check
if player then
tp:Teleport(6237172910, player)
end
end
end)
Hope this helps! Next time, I’d make sure you check the API Reference. For example, here’s the Touched Event.
