I want to teleport the player in another area of the game(not different place), but I receive an error.
Error: attempt to index nil with ‘Character’
Script:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

game.ReplicatedStorage.Obby.Start.EasyStart.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.Character.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parts.Portal.CFrame
	plr.Values.EasyObby.Value.Value = 180
	local portal = game.Workspace.Obby.Easy.Portal.Portal
	portal.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Black")
	portal.CanCollide = true
	portal.Transparency = 0
	while plr.Values.EasyObby.Value.Value do
		wait(1)
		if plr.Values.EasyObby.Value.Value > 0 then
			plr.Values.EasyObby.Value.Value -= 1
		end
	portal.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
	portal.CanCollide = true
	portal.Transparency = 0.5
	end
end)

If I make this work, I will be able to make the end teleport! Thanks for helping!

	plr.Character.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parts.Portal.CFrame
	plr.Values.EasyObby.Value.Value = 180
	local portal = game.Workspace.Obby.Easy.Portal.Portal

Update: I tried to do everything I could do but I’m trapped in the “attempt to index nil” problem. I got “attempt to index nil with values” and then “waitForChild”.

My script: (no problem here)

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit then
		local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		if plr then
			local cooldown = plr.Values.EasyObby
			local humanoidrootpart = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			if humanoidrootpart then
				if cooldown.Value == 0 then
					game.ReplicatedStorage.Obby.Start.EasyStart:FireClient(plr)
					plr.Character.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parts.Portal.CFrame
					print("Teleporting...")
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

My local script in starterPlayerScripts:

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

-- Easy Mode

game.ReplicatedStorage.Obby.Start.EasyStart.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	plr:WaitForChild("Values").EasyObby.Value = 180
	local portal = game.Workspace.Obby.Easy.Portal.Portal
	portal.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Black")
	portal.CanCollide = true
	portal.Transparency = 0
	while plr.Values.EasyObby.Value do
		wait(1)
		if plr.Values.EasyObby.Value > 0 then
			plr.Values.EasyObby.Value -= 1
		end
		portal.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
		portal.CanCollide = true
		portal.Transparency = 0.5
	end
end)

remove plr in the function’s connection.

#10

i tried that and it did not work.

#11

why???

how does that benefit this code at all

#12

You should define a Character variable this way:

local Character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
#13

try this

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

game.ReplicatedStorage.Obby.Start.EasyStart.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plr)
    local character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parts.Portal.CFrame
	plr.Values.EasyObby.Value.Value = 180
	local portal = game.Workspace.Obby.Easy.Portal.Portal
	portal.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Black")
	portal.CanCollide = true
	portal.Transparency = 0
	while plr.Values.EasyObby.Value.Value do
		wait(1)
		if plr.Values.EasyObby.Value.Value > 0 then
			plr.Values.EasyObby.Value.Value -= 1
		end
	portal.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
	portal.CanCollide = true
	portal.Transparency = 0.5
	end
end)

If this doesn’t work, remove “plr” in the function().

#14

doesnt work, i tried it and tried it when i removed “plr” in the function().

#15

what is the specific error that you are getting from the code?

#16

The error is right there… Remove plr from game.ReplicatedStorage.Obby.Start.EasyStart.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plr) or either change local plr to local player.

#17

Or use this;

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

game.ReplicatedStorage.Obby.Start.EasyStart.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	if Character then Character.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parts.Portal.CFrame end
	
	Player.Values.EasyObby.Value.Value = 180
	
	local portal = game.Workspace.Obby.Easy.Portal.Portal
	portal.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Black")
	portal.CanCollide = true
	portal.Transparency = 0
	
	while Player.Values.EasyObby.Value.Value do
		task.wait(1)
		
		if Player.Values.EasyObby.Value.Value > 0 then
			Player.Values.EasyObby.Value.Value -= 1
		end
		
		portal.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
		portal.CanCollide = true
		portal.Transparency = 0.5
	end
end)

You should not use a LocalScript to teleport a player’s character positionally because then it won’t replicate to other clients.

You should use a Server script.

Instead, you should just teleport a player’s character model using :PivotTo( the part’s cframe here ) whenever the player starts an obby whether through touching the part or joining the game.

#19

isn’t the player character owned by the client?

#20

It is, but only on their side, but other clients won’t see it.
