TeleportOptions doesn't transfer between places

(The below code is abstracted)

-- Server code: ServerScriptService > Script in the lobby game.
local teleportOptions = Instance.new("TeleportOptions")

teleportOptions.ShouldReserveServer = true
teleportOptions:SetTeleportData({ ["NumberOfPlayers"] = #game.Players:GetPlayers() })

game:GetService("TeleportService"):TeleportPartyAsync(placeID, game.Players:GetPlayers(), teleportOptions)

-- Client code: PlayerScripts > LocalScript in the target game.
local teleportOptions = game:GetService("TeleportService"):GetLocalPlayerTeleportData()

print(teleportOptions)
-- Prints nil

Hi, I’m having trouble getting teleport data to work. Above shows the code I’m working on, but when I print the teleportOptions after the teleport it’s always just nil and it’s really bugging me. It’s completely breaking the game and would love it if someone had any idea why this might be happening!

Thanks,
-Tom :smiley:

This might be why? Since you’re passing a Dictionary onto calling your SetTeleportData function, it keeps mixing all the keys (Or indexes) which may be resulting back as nil

Maybe try this?

-- Server code: ServerScriptService > Script in the lobby game.
local teleportOptions = Instance.new("TeleportOptions")

teleportOptions.ShouldReserveServer = true
teleportOptions:SetTeleportData(#game.Players:GetPlayers())

game:GetService("TeleportService"):TeleportPartyAsync(placeID, game.Players:GetPlayers(), teleportOptions)

-- Client code: PlayerScripts > LocalScript in the target game.
local teleportOptions = game:GetService("TeleportService"):GetLocalPlayerTeleportData()

if teleportOptions then
    print(teleportOptions)
else
    print("Returned back nil?")
end

You’d have to use TeleportAsync, not TeleportPartyAsync if you want to use TeleportOptions I believe

game:GetService("TeleportService"):TeleportAsync(placeID, game.Players:GetPlayers(), teleportOptions)
