Follow Friend to Place Instance button not working

[Beartikal]

So my place is a universe with multiple places, I need to make an option to follow friends into other places within that universe.
I am using TeleportService’s TeleportToPlaceInstance and GetPlayerPlaceInstanceAsync to do this. This is what I have currently, but for some reason, it returns an empty error.
(keep in mind I am testing the game private, using the new Developer’s only can-play test feature)

					local success, errorMsg, placeId, instanceId = TS:GetPlayerPlaceInstanceAsync(FollowInfo["VisitorId"])
					if success then
						loadingGui()
						game:GetService("TeleportService"):TeleportToPlaceInstance(placeId,instanceId,plr,nil,{},plr.PlayerGui.LoadingScreen)
					else
					    print("Friend Follow Error:", errorMsg)
					end

FollowInfo[“VisitorId”] is the friend’s UserId

Success is always set to false I believe so it wouldn’t work, try setting it to true. Also the VisitorId shouldn’t be a string.

There is a bug with GetPlayerPlaceInstanceAsync where the “success” value often/sometimes returns false even though the request was successful. Do not rely on the first value – just check if the placeId / instanceId that are returned are not nil. The reason why you don’t see a teleport error is because the request was actually successful even though “success” was false. The error message is nothing, an empty string.

Alright thanks I’ll check this out soon.
