Getting teleport data won't work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to give people a gear if their teleport data said they do have it, but for some reason the teleport data won’t get sent.
Script where I send all players:

player.IsBeingTeleported.Value = true
            
local teleportOptions = Instance.new("TeleportOptions")
local teleportData = {
  speedCoil = player.Gears.SpeedCoil.Value,
}
print(teleportData.speedCoil)
            
teleportOptions:SetTeleportData(teleportData)
            
remotes.ClientStatus:FireClient(player, "teleportUI", ReplicatedStorage.RLGLTeleport)
wait(1)
TeleportService:TeleportToPrivateServer(ChosenGamemode.Value, serverID, {player}, teleportOptions, ReplicatedStorage.RLGLTeleport)

Yes, it does print true at the print.

Script where I receive the player data in other place:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local approvedPlaceIds = {ids here}

local function isPlaceIdApproved(placeId)
    for _, id in pairs(approvedPlaceIds) do
        if id == placeId then
            return true
        end
    end
    return false
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local joinData = player:GetJoinData()

    if isPlaceIdApproved(joinData.SourcePlaceId) then
        
        print("AAAAAA")
        
        local teleportData = joinData.TeleportData
        if teleportData then
            print("e")
            if teleportData.speedCoil == true then
                print("yessir")
                local speedCoil = ServerStorage["Speed Coil"]:Clone()
                speedCoil.Parent = player.Backpack
                
            end
        end
    end
end)

All it prints is the “AAAAAA”, but there it stops. Does it not send the data or what’s the problem?

“joinData.TeleportData” must be nil for the following conditional statement to not evaluate as true. Also instead of checking if a user teleported like this you should employ the LocalPlayerArrivedFromTeleport event from the teleport service.

Then I’d have to fire a remote event from the client to let the server know if the player has gotten the gear, right? If so, couldn’t it easily be exploited?

Have you tried printing “joinData.TeleportData”?

No, I’ll try that right now actually.

As you thought, the teleport data is nil. Did I mess something up while sending the data?

I know I’m not supposed to bump, but I really need to find a solution to this. I guess one way to do it is through datastores, but that doesn’t feel too reliable. What if the player leaves during teleportation? The player would keep the gear, which I don’t want them to, as it’s a one time use.

I somehow fixed this by settings a spawnpoint name. For some reason, it fixed it all.
