I’m trying to make every player in a certain team teleport to a position, and then start walking in unison. The problem is that it only teleports a single player, and then doesn’t teleport the next player until the first player is done walking the entire length. My plan is obviously to have them all do it at once. I’ve looked for a long time on the DevForums but I haven’t seen anything about this issue so I’m choosing to ask for help. Here is the section of the script:
local function CompSpawned(player)
Comp:Clone().Parent = workspace.CurrentComp -- Here I'm just spawning a minigame
spawn (function()
for i,v in pairs(teams[teamone]:GetPlayers()) do
if v.Character and v.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")then
v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = SelectedPartOne.CFrame
wait(1)
v.Character.Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-163.8, 38.2, 2271.5))
v.Character.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
v.Character.Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-157.2, 38.2, 2318.8))
v.Character.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
v.Character.Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-130.6, 38.2, 2388.8))
v.Character.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
v.Character.Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-84, 38.2, 2438.7))
v.Character.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
v.Character.Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-6.7, 38.2, 2468.9))
v.Character.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
v.Character.Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-10.034, 40.739, 2334.671))
v.Character.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
end
end)
If you’re using for i,v, it’s going to teleport all your players for each action. It’s going to do 1 player by 1. A solution to fix this would be to have for i,v’s a little bit everywhere. This might make your script long, but tbh I have no other solutions.
for i,v in pairs(teams[teamone]:GetPlayers()) do
if v.Character and v.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")then
v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = SelectedPartOne.CFrame
wait(1)
v.Character.Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-163.8, 38.2, 2271.5))
v.Character.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
end
for i,v in pairs(teams[teamone]:GetPlayers()) do
v.Character.Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-157.2, 38.2, 2318.8))
v.Character.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
for i,v in pairs(teams[teamone]:GetPlayers()) do
v.Character.Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-130.6, 38.2, 2388.8))
v.Character.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
for i,v in pairs(teams[teamone]:GetPlayers()) do
v.Character.Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-84, 38.2, 2438.7))
v.Character.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
for i,v in pairs(teams[teamone]:GetPlayers()) do
v.Character.Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-6.7, 38.2, 2468.9))
v.Character.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
for i,v in pairs(teams[teamone]:GetPlayers()) do
v.Character.Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-10.034, 40.739, 2334.671))
v.Character.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
I tried doing this and it didn’t solve it. It teleported the first player and made him walk to the first position, and after that another player was teleported with the same thing happening. So this will still only make 1 player move at once. If it helps this is on a Script not a LocalScript.
Then I’d recommend to remove all the v.Character.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait(), as it waits for the action to be over. But you would need to add a wait(n)after the for i,v’s.
No, I meant n as a number. I can’t really assume the number myself, because I don’t know how long the Humanoid:MoveTo will last for. I suggest you figure it out yourself. Hope this can help!!!
I tried using wait and the problem persisted, however I didn’t add a wait after every line and so once all the waits were over they all moved at the same time meaning that the waits are causing this, I don’t know how to make a solution yet but that helps to know for sure!
spawn already has a builtin wait(), move every player as uniformly as possible using coroutines instead.
for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do -- for every player,
-- ipairs guarantees order and should be used with fully numerically indexed tables
coroutine.wrap(function()
-- create a new thread for every player, do your teleportation stuff here
end)() -- the extra parentheses are needed to execute the function
end
Generic for loops to be more precise, and that’ll yield for almost the same amount of time- you can just do it all in one block.
This worked! Thanks a lot for the answer . The reason why I used the spawn function is because this line of code actually runs twice at the same time (with slight variation as it makes 2 teams walk at once), I’ll include a picture of it so you see what I mean. And so you can see any more mistakes if I’ve made some.

wait(1) -- still don't know why you included this
for index = 1, #positions[tostring(team[1])] do
v.Character.Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(unpack(positions[tostring(team[1])][index])))
v.Character.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
end
end)()
end
end
end
SpawnComp.OnServerEvent:Connect(CompSpawned)
note
Don’t call ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“str”) ever on the server, unless there is explicit guaranteed delay from your side, it’s redundant.
math.random takes two arguments, but just x provided works as math.random(1, x) = math.random(x)
There could be errors, but there shouldn’t be anything too hard to fix.
EDIT: To clarify the “Wait(1)” that’s because I don’t want them to start moving right after being teleported because that looks a bit strange if you ask me.

You’ve been very kind to me!
