Teleporting after X seconds

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello guys. Im trying to make a script that if the player touches a part, then a UI will show, countdown from 5 to 0 and then teleport him to another place.
My problem is, how do i stop it from executing in case the player stops touching a part.

local GUI = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TPNotification
local text = GUI.TextLabel
local duration = 5

local stoppedtouching = false

local function Teleport(trigger: Part, part : Part, placeID : number) 
	if part.Parent == player.Character then
		GUI.Visible = true
		while duration > 0 do
			GUI.TextLabel.Text = "Teleporting in:".. duration
			duration =- 1
			if stoppedtouching then
				GUI.Visible = false
				duration = 5		
				return				
			end
			wait(1)		
		end
		local touchingParts = trigger:GetTouchingParts()
		for i, part in touchingParts do
			if part.Parent == player.Character then
				TeleportService:Teleport(placeID, player)
			end
		end
	end
	GUI.Visible = false
	duration = 5
end

island1Trigger.Touched:Connect(function(part)
	Teleport(island1Trigger, part , island1ID)
end)


island1Trigger.TouchEnded:Connect(function(part)
	if part.Parent == player.Character then
		stoppedtouching = true
		GUI.Visible = false
		duration = 5
	end
end)

What happens here is that it doesnt really do a countdown and when the player leaves it doesnt reset as to stop from teleporting.
TeleportService:Teleport(placeID, player) also does not respect the yield on wait. It just goes

You could have a table for players who are touching the part in a table and when they stop touching the part it will remove them from the table.

Example script below:

local TABLE = {}

game.Workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit) then

local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit) 
table.insert(TABLE, Player.UserId)
end

game.Workspace.Part.TouchedEnded:Connect(function(hit)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit) then

local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit) 
table.remove(TABLE, table.find(TABLE, Player.UserId))
end

end)

Should be -= 1, otherwise duration will always be -1 and not decrement.

Thank you,

It now shows the UI as “Teleporting in: 1” and still doesnt do the countdown for some reason.

the thing is that i want it to deal with each player individually.

this whole script is a localscript in startercharacter

You can use a for loop for this.


    for i = 5, 1, -1 do
        -- update gui text
        task.wait(1)
    end -- this will run 5 times and each time i will decrease by 1, since the code after a for loop only runs once the for loop is done this will both wait 5 seconds and update the gui every second
     local player = --get the player

     if touching and player then
         -- teleport the player
     end

You will just need to properly handle touched events and update the touching variable accordingly.

Thanks, this will probably work. I have decided to opt into making a UI for confirmation.
