Well ur request is pretty advanced, And im not really at that lvl yet

But the GUI Popping up on the players screen is easy: Just show it to them once they get in the elevator, The GUI Should be an ImageButton, Once you click at one of those, Well, Ya know what happens

Yeah i know how to make the gui pop up and close it but for the other part i have no ideal

#8

You mean the part where the player gets teleported?

#9

its when the player choose what map he want on the GUI then teleport him to that specific map

#10

i have to make a script for each button??

#11

You could probably start the code in which the player chooses the map like:

local chosen = ""

local GUI = script.Parent

local maps = GUI.Maps:GetChildren() --Frame called "Maps" filled with image buttons of each map.

for _, map in pairs(maps) do
	if map:IsA("ImageButton") then
		map.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
			
			chosen = map.Name
			--print(chosen)
--Other code
			
		end)
	end
end

You would just need to check what map was chosen and teleport the player to the map

about the map teleport. I have to make a table like

local mapsTable = {Grassland[GameID], Wastleland[GameID]}

right?

#14

I don’t think that’s an effective way to do it. Perhaps like this would do:

local mapsTable={
	{["GAMENAME"] = "Grassland", ["GAMEID"] = 0000000000},
	{["GAMENAME"] = "Wastleland", ["GAMEID"] = 0000000000},
}

Can you give me more explains like how would i check if a player choose that map and look for it in the table

#16

You could do a similar built-in pairs() function in a for loop, like what i did in the first code, and check if any of the “GAMENAME” is similar to the chosen map name using the “if […] then” condition. Then, you could create a variable to get the game id from that.

e.g,

for g, gameid in pairs(gameids) do
				if gameids[g].GAMENAME == chosen then
					local teleport = gameids[g].GAMEID
					
					print(teleport)
				end
			end

I’d do something like this:

-- Imagine the Grassland Map ID is 1000
-- Imagine the Wasteland Map ID is 1200
local mapsTable = {
	["Grassland"] = "1000",
	["Wasteland"] = "1200"
}

-- Now when you want to open a map you can get the ID from the array using the name
local function LoadMapFromName(mapName):
	local mapID = mapsTable[mapName]

	-- Then you can load the map however you're doing that
	LoadMapFromID(mapID)
end

-- When the player presses the wasteland button
LoadMapFromName("Wasteland")

Thanks guys gotta try its out then i will mark which solutions i found work best! :smiley:

sorry for bothering you but currently its only printing out the “Grassland” game id, the other one didnt
here my current script

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local ChooseMapEvent = ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("MapChoosing")
local mapsTable={
	{["GAMENAME"] = "Grassland", ["GAMEID"] = 10890055054},
	{["GAMENAME"] = "Isometric-Ruin", ["GAMEID"] = 10979968228},
}

function ChoosingMap(player,choosedMap)
	print(player,choosedMap)
	for g, gameid in pairs(mapsTable) do
		if mapsTable[g].GAMENAME == choosedMap then
			local teleport = mapsTable[g].GAMEID
			print(teleport)
		end
	end
end	
ChooseMapEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(ChoosingMap)
#20

Try this:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local ChooseMapEvent = ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("MapChoosing")

local mapsTable={
	["Grassland"] = "10890055054",
	["Isometric-Ruin"] = "10979968228"
}

function ChoosingMap(player,choosedMap)
	print(player,choosedMap)
	local teleport = mapsTable[choosedMap]
	print(teleport)
end	
ChooseMapEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(ChoosingMap)

I may be misunderstanding what you’re trying to do, but this seems to be a simpler solution that does the same thing.
