Hello! So I know there are videos on this but none of them helped me. I’ve also looked at other Dev Forum posts and those didn’t help either.
So what I’m trying to do is, so like a group of people get into a van and a few seconds later the van drives away and teleports only the players in the van to a place inside of a place (Or as I call them, “Sub Games”).
I figured I would use ReserveServer() but couldn’t figure out how I would do a few things:
A. Make a table of the players who are in the van.
And B. Teleport those players to the Sub Game via ReserveServer()
Here is my code:
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Van = script.Parent.VanBody
local info = TweenInfo.new(
5,
Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
0,
true,
0
)
local Goal = {
Position = Vector3.new(-34.534, 6.244, 23.164)
}
local NewTween = TweenService:Create(Van, info, Goal)
while wait(3) do
if script.Parent.AmountOfPlayers.Value >= 1 then -- Will be later changed to 3
NewTween:Play()
--Disable Pad
script.Parent.Pad.Script.Disabled = true
wait(5)
print("Teleporting Players...")
--Teleport Players
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local PlaceID = 123456789
local Players = { }
script.Parent.Pad.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local PlayerWhoTouched = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
table.insert(Players, 1, PlayerWhoTouched)
end)
local Code = TeleportService:ReserveServer(PlaceID)
for i, v in pairs(Players) do
TeleportService:TeleportToPrivateServer(PlaceID, Code, {v})
end
wait(5)
-- Renable the pad
script.Parent.Pad.Script.Disabled = false
script.Parent.AmountOfPlayers.Value = 0
end
end
Thanks for the help and sorry for the trouble!
P.S. I’m not sure if this matters but I’m also trying to make it so it only teleports if there is at least 3 players and at most 5 players in the van.
TeleportToPrivateServer supports a list of players to be teleported to a place. If you’re already making a table of players who should be teleported then pass that instead of iterating over it and teleporting each one of them individually.
The rest of your code looks mostly fine except for that while wait line which is scary not just because you’re using wait as your while loop’s conditional but also because you’re connecting signals in that loop. That’s a nice ticket to a memory leak.
Regarding the van player check, you can always check through existing players and see if they are seated in the van by checking what SeatPart they’re on and if said SeatPart is part of the van. You could also check if players are in the vicinity of the van. Many things you can do there.
In terms of your second question, you already figured that out in your code and even wrote it down, so what specifically do you need help on there? I mean, other than the fact that you haven’t changed the PlaceId. If what you wanted was dynamic PlaceIds, you can use an attribute on the van to determine which place the players should be going to and define PlaceId as the van’s PlaceId attribute.
Oh I apologize that is old code. Here let me get the new code.
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Van = script.Parent.VanBody
local info = TweenInfo.new(
5,
Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
0,
true,
0
)
local Goal = {
Position = Vector3.new(-34.534, 6.244, 23.164)
}
local NewTween = TweenService:Create(Van, info, Goal)
while true do
if script.Parent.AmountOfPlayers.Value >= 1 then
NewTween:Play()
--Disable Pad
script.Parent.Pad.Script.Disabled = true
--script.Parent.Pad.Script.Disabled = true
wait(5)
print("Teleporting Players...")
--Teleport Players
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local PlaceID = 6428301658
local Players = {}
script.Parent.Pad.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local PlayerWhoTouched = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
table.insert(Players, 1, PlayerWhoTouched)
end
end
if Players ~= nil then
TeleportService:TeleportPartyAsync(PlaceID, Players)
end
wait(5)
-- Renable the pad
script.Parent.Pad.Script.Disabled = false
script.Parent.AmountOfPlayers.Value = 0
end
wait(3)
end
I wasn’t sure if I should use ReserveServer() or TeleportPartyAsync() so I went with TeleportPartyAsync()
And also there are no seats, they are just standing in the van. Sorry if I confused you.
If you want I can send a video of what I’m trying to achieve.
TeleportPartyAsync does not support matchmaking and private servers so this is probably not what you want to use. If new players were teleported to the place, they would join another server’s ongoing round and that might be awkward if your code doesn’t handle that.
Determining which players are sitting in the van (that’s your players table and the Pad touch) should be divorced from your while loop. Other than that, you’ve pretty much got down the basics of how to accomplish this system. Since it seems like you have multiple copies of this script, divorcing the player collector from the player check seems sufficient enough. Notably, part of your problem might be that the players table is local to the scope of the while loop so it keeps “refreshing”.
This is dummy code so it’s meant for learning, not copying and pasting, so I’ve opted to write some parts in pseudocode instead of real code. If it does not work, this’ll tell you why. I’m expecting that you do a bit of research to turn the pseudocode into real code.
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Van = script.Parent.VanBody
local Pad = script.Parent.Pad
local TWEEN_INFO = TweenInfo.new(5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, true)
local GOAL = {Position = Vector3.new(-34.534, 6.244, 23.164)}
local LEAVE_TWEEN = TweenService:Create(Van, TWEEN_INFO, GOAL)
local playersInVan = {}
LEAVE_TWEEN.Completed:Connect(function ()
-- In case the van table didn't properly clear, do it again
if #playersInVan > 0 then
table.clear(playersInVan)
end
-- Reenable the pad, but don't use the Disabled property of scripts
-- You should virtually never do that in production-level code
end)
Pad.Touched:Connect(function (hit)
-- Make sure player is not in playersInVan table; if they aren't, add them
end)
while true do -- Would use RunService instead, in my honest opinion
-- # of players greater than 1?
LEAVE_TWEEN:Play()
-- Disable pads
-- Have some way to get a placeId here
local reserveCode = TeleportService:ReserveServer(placeId)
TeleportService:TeleportToPrivateServer(placeId, reserveCode, playersInVan)
table.clear(playersInVan)
-- Wait a bit, reenable pads
Oh, gotcha. The part that wasn’t clear was where they were going, but it was me who didn’t catch at the end that players do not actually sit in the van. In this case, TeleportPartyAsync would be the go-to method for teleporting them back.
I think the pseudocode I provided in the post above would still work for your use case, just that it’d have nothing to do with reserving private servers. The general idea is what you want to divorce the gathering of who’s in the van from your while loop.
Hello I just tested it out. (Yes I replaced the pseudocode) And it didn’t work. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong (Probably am)
I’m very sorry for the trouble.
Thanks!
Here is the code:
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Van = script.Parent.VanBody
local Pad = script.Parent.Pad
local TWEEN_INFO = TweenInfo.new(5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0,
true)
local GOAL = {Position = Vector3.new(-34.534, 6.244, 23.164)}
local LEAVE_TWEEN = TweenService:Create(Van, TWEEN_INFO, GOAL)
local playersInVan = {}
LEAVE_TWEEN.Completed:Connect(function ()
-- In case the van table didn't properly clear, do it again
if #playersInVan > 0 then
table.clear(playersInVan)
end
-- Reenable the pad, but don't use the Disabled property of scripts
-- You should virtually never do that in production-level code
Pad.Script.Disabled = false
end)
Pad.Touched:Connect(function (hit)
-- Make sure player is not in playersInVan table; if they aren't, add them
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
table.insert(playersInVan, game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent))
end
end)
while true do -- Would use RunService instead, in my honest opinion
if #playersInVan >= 1 and #playersInVan < 5 then
-- # of players greater than 1?
LEAVE_TWEEN:Play()
-- Disable pads
Pad.Script.Disabled = true
local placeId = 6428301658
local reserveCode = TeleportService:ReserveServer(placeId)
TeleportService:TeleportToPrivateServer(placeId, reserveCode, playersInVan)
table.clear(playersInVan)
-- Wait a bit, reenable pads
--Pad.Script.Disabled = false
end
wait(1)
end
Hi, I recently had a problem like this trying to make a multiplayer survival game. I found the answer to my problem by a thread made here on the dev forum, heres the link
The solution to your problem is the solution to the thread I showed you. I would just send the rblx link so you can just download the game, but that would be taking credit for other people’s work, sorry.
