I haven’t tried any solutions so far. I did look for solutions on the Developer Hub.

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

-- This is an example Lua code block

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = game.Workspace.Model.Chinatown.Position

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.

You can do this by using this format

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
-- teleport player
end)

Or if you want to change it on client you can do it like this
Note I changed OnServerEvent to OnClientEvent

RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
-- teleport player
end)

How can I do this with a click Function?

function OnClick()
#4

In your localscript, call the :FireServer() method wherever you want in your code, and that will make the OnServerEvent connection run on the server’s side.

Apologies if I wasn’t clear enough, but I meant how can I do the RemoteEvent Function while also doing the click Function at the same time?

#7

Put the remote event inside the click function

Now my TextButton doesn’t work anymore.

function OnClick()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(OnClick)
#9

Try putting an end to the function, also do you want it so that when you click your button the remote event will fire and teleport your character?

function OnClick()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer()
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(OnClick)

Okay, so since the localscript for the textbutton looks fine as is, you can make your serverscript into something along the lines of

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
   local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
   local destination = CFrame.new(0,10,0) -- change 0,10,0 to whatever vector3 u want

   character:PivotTo(CFrame.new(destination))
end)

I still got the same result of now my TextButton isn’t working anymore.

function OnClick()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
		local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
		local destination = CFrame.new(857.286, 339.376, -98.523) -- change 857.286, 339.376, -98.523 to whatever vector3 u want
		
        character:PivotTo(CFrame.new(destination))
		game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Chinatown:Destroy()
	end)
	script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(OnClick)
end

you don’t need to use a remote event to teleport the character

because the client has network ownership of there own character you can position the character in a localscript

so all you do is

-- LocalScript
local function OnClick()
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:PivotTo(CFrame.new(857.286, 339.376, -98.523))
end

no remote event is needed
