How would I handle teleportservice fails on the server side?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m trying to make a system where if a players teleport fails from the teleport on the server side, it will retry to teleport them. While yes I know how to do Teleport fail events, I don’t know how to do them on the server side. Help is appreciated.

You should wrap your teleport in a pcall, it will return an error if it isn’t successful.

local success, errormsg = pcall(function()
    --cool teleport function
end)
if not success then -- if it isn't successful
    print('Unable to teleport users. Error: '..tostring(errormsg)
    -- here's where you'd add a function if the teleport didn't work on the server side
end

I tried the script and the output said, Unable to cast value to Objects.

Oh and here’s the code I used:

local Obsticals = game.ServerStorage.Obstical
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local Place = REDACTED
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

game.ReplicatedStorage.StartEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local ObsticalClone = Obsticals:Clone()
	ObsticalClone.Parent = workspace
	wait(5)
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		local Players = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()
		TeleportService:TeleportPartyAsync(Place, Players)
	end)

	if not success then
		print("Unable to teleport users. Error: "..tostring(errormessage))
		TeleportService:TeleportPartyAsync(Place, Players)
	end
end)

There’s probably an issue with your script then, could you send the full script?

#6

Only issue I see is this. Just to be sure, this is a place ID, correct?

#7

Yes that is the place id that has been replaced with that word.

Which line does the error appear on?

The error appears on line 17 in the script.

I see.

Try declaring your players variable outside of the pcall.

local Players = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
	TeleportService:TeleportPartyAsync(Place, Players)
end)
#11

It removed that error but now there’s a new one saying, TeleportService:TeleportPartyAsync error: Must be passed an array of players on line 16.

Try changing this to a different value, such as something like local PlayerInstances = Players:GetPlayers()

#13

I added the variable and it says that it was attempting to call a nil value on that variable.

Make sure you’re changing the Players value later in the function as well.

#15

What does changing the players value mean exactly? Sorry about me sounding newbie.

local PlayerInstances = Players:GetPlayers()
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
	TeleportService:TeleportPartyAsync(Place, PlayerInstances)
end)

if not success then
	print("Unable to teleport users. Error: "..tostring(errormessage))
	TeleportService:TeleportPartyAsync(Place, PlayerInstances)
end
end)
#17

Oh yeah, that’s what it means. Also I’m getting the same error.

Can you send me what you have so far?

Sure

local Obsticals = game.ServerStorage.Obstical

local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")

local Place = PLACEID

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local PlayerInstances = Players:GetPlayers()

game.ReplicatedStorage.StartEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)

local ObsticalClone = Obsticals:Clone()

ObsticalClone.Parent = workspace

wait(5)

local success, errormessage = pcall(function()

TeleportService:TeleportPartyAsync(Place, PlayerInstances)

end)

if not success then

print("Unable to teleport users. Error: "..tostring(errormessage))

TeleportService:TeleportPartyAsync(Place, PlayerInstances)

end

end)

Put that inside of your function, right above the pcall.
