Teleport Service Fail With No Error Message

[madattak]

Some old code for allowing users to follow others into the ‘Arena’ place of the Plane Crazy game broke recently, but when I viewed the output in the console, I just got this:

local PcallSuccess, ErrorMessage = pcall(function()
    local success, errorMessage, placeId, jobId = TeleportService:GetPlayerPlaceInstanceAsync(followId)
    -- have we found this player?
    if success then
        -- if so teleport
        TeleportService:TeleportToPlaceInstance(
            placeId,
            jobId,
            Player
        )
	else
		failedtoteleport = true
		warn("Player ",Player.Name," failed to follow another user into the arena. Error message: ",errorMessage)
    end
end)

This is run on PlayerAdded after checking that Player.FollowUserId (followId in the code) is not 0, nil or a player within the same server. I’m not sure what to do since I don’t really use teleport service much and I don’t seem to have an error message

It is possible that the success value is still broken and always is set as false as mentioned here:

TeleportToPlaceInstance is broken w/ out error message

There is a bug with GetPlayerPlaceInstanceAsync where the “success” value often/sometimes returns false even though the request was successful. Do not rely on the first value – just check if the placeId / instanceId that are returned are not nil. The reason why you don’t see a teleport error is because the request was actually successful even though “success” was false. The error message is nothing, an empty string.

Try replacing the success check with if placeId ~= nil then.
