Join a friend gui not displaying anything

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I am making a join friend system, where if a players friend is in the same universe as said player, a script will create a frame that will teleport the player to their friends server in another place. However no frames are being created and there are no errors in developer console when I test it. Why is this happening?

Here is my script

local onlineFriends = player:GetFriendsOnline(10)
for i, v in pairs(onlineFriends) do
    if v.LastLocation and v.GameId == game.GameId then
    local playerFrame = script.Parent.Template:Clone()
    playerFrame.Visible = true
    playerFrame:WaitForChild('PlayerName').Text = v.DisplayName
    playerFrame.Parent = script.Parent
       local connection = playerFrame:WaitForChild('JoinButton').MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
           pcall(function()
               game:GetService('TeleportService'):TeleportToPlaceInstance(v.PlaceId, v.UserName, player)
           end)
       end)
    end
end

TeleportToPlaceInstance needs a PlaceID, The InstanceID, and the Player.

The instance id should be easy to get if you check all of V’s values. I don’t have any friends online currently to show you a demo.

game:GetService('TeleportService'):TeleportToPlaceInstance(v.PlaceId, v.UserName, player)

I’ve already done all of that

Try getting rid of v.LastLocation. I misread your post at the start. If nothing is parenting than it’s probably getting stuck on your checks.

and make sure you have friends online too.

That’s your issue right there. You don’t have any friends online so nothing will be made.

#6

make sure there are friends online in the place then you should use some prints to debug your code

I would first print onlineFriends to see what is being returned by the function and also do a print in the for loop right at the top to make sure its running right you can even print your i and v variables there

you will then be able to tell what is going on with it

and i think your issue is right here it should be PlaceId
v.PlaceId == game.PlaceId

also this should use the GameId where you have UserName so use
game:GetService('TeleportService'):TeleportToPlaceInstance(v.PlaceId, v.GameId, player)

I’m trying to make it so the system can teleport you to different places in the same game. Does v.PlaceId do that?

#8

v.PlaceId is the actual place id v.GameId is the actual running game id each server that the place has running has a different gameid which would be the one your friend might be in you are both still in the same placeid

the gameid is sometimes referred to the JobId

I see, well I’ll probably do another method since I don’t think there is a way to accomplish what I am trying to do

you had it just change out those 2 things and it should work

if not use some prints to find the problem they are a life saver in coding on roblox
