TeleportService Script not Teleporting

Hello! So I wanted to script something that teleports you to another place. For some reason it’s not working. No errors, just nothing. I did test it in a real game, not in Studio.
Script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local SurfaceGui = script.Parent
local TextButton = SurfaceGui.TextButton
local placeId = 5160756942
local defaultText = [[Click to get teleported to the Training Center.
Note that Trainings are not getting hosted all the time.]]

local ranks = {
	["Guest"] = 1;
	["Trainee"] = 2;
	["Barista"] = 3;
	["Head Barista"] = 4;
	["Supervisor"] = 5;
	["Manager"] = 6;
	["Chief Executive Officer"] = 7;
	["Developer"] = 8;
	["President"] = 9;
	["Founder"] = 10;
	
}


TextButton.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	--Teleport him to the TC
	--But first check his rank
	local role = player:GetRoleInGroup(6615557)
	local rank = ranks[role]
	if rank >= 2 then
		TeleportService:Teleport(placeId, player)
	else
		TextButton.Text = "You have to be a Trainee or above to be able to get teleported to the Training Center."
		wait(3)
		TextButton.Text = defaultText
	end
end)

Is there any output, or anything?

If im right, its in a local script and you dont need to add the player to the Teleport line. Just the place id.

Nope, there is no output.

If it doesn’t work on a local script use a remote event.

Yep, but you can. I’ve removed the player parameter so it’s default now, still not working. I will try it with a Remote Event.

I can see a table of ranks defined with numbers, but I don’t see where the script links those ranks to the player. You are checking the ranks against a table, but the table isn’t linked to the player so the script doesn’t know which rank to use.

EDIT: nvm, I overlooked that part

I’ve tried it with a Remote Event, still not working.
Script:

--Local Script
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local SurfaceGui = script.Parent
local TextButton = SurfaceGui.TextButton
local defaultText = [[Click to get teleported to the Training Center.
Note that Trainings are not getting hosted all the time.]]
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Teleport = RS.Remotes.Teleport

local ranks = {
	["Guest"] = 1;
	["Trainee"] = 2;
	["Barista"] = 3;
	["Head Barista"] = 4;
	["Supervisor"] = 5;
	["Manager"] = 6;
	["Chief Executive Officer"] = 7;
	["Developer"] = 8;
	["President"] = 9;
	["Founder"] = 10;
	
}


TextButton.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	--Teleport him to the TC
	--But first check his rank
	local role = player:GetRoleInGroup(6615557)
	local rank = ranks[role]
	if rank >= 2 then
		--Fire a Remote Event
		Teleport:FireServer()
	else
		TextButton.Text = "You have to be a Trainee or above to be able to get teleported to the Training Center."
		wait(3)
		TextButton.Text = defaultText
	end
end)
--Server Script
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Teleport = RS.Remotes.Teleport
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local placeId = 5160756942

Teleport.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	TeleportService:Teleport(placeId, player)
end)

I’ve found the issue. I did MouseClick instead of MouseButton1Click, there is no MouseClick event for TextButton.

I think I’ve figured it out. From what I know about group ranks, don’t you usually get the ranks by checking a number. For example the ‘owner’ rank = 255 in the group.

It’s still not working… ;-;

Found an example.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player))
if player:GetRankInGroup(group id here I think) == 255 then —— 255 is owner
print(“player is owner of the group”)
end

GetRoleInGroup returns a StringValue, for example Customer. My table checks the StringValue and replaces it with a number (1-10). I can check his rank with these numbers now.

ok, I’ve not used that method before because I’m new to scripting, try using a print statement to print the player’s role. This will help see if it’s working as it should be.

Alright, that’s weird. Looks like the event is not even getting fired.
Script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local SurfaceGui = script.Parent
local TextButton = SurfaceGui.TextButton
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local defaultText = [[Click to get teleported to the Training Center.
Note that Trainings are not getting hosted all the time.]]

local ranks = {
	["Guest"] = 1;
	["Trainee"] = 2;
	["Barista"] = 3;
	["Head Barista"] = 4;
	["Supervisor"] = 5;
	["Manager"] = 6;
	["Chief Executive Officer"] = 7;
	["Developer"] = 8;
	["President"] = 9;
	["Founder"] = 10;
	
}


TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	print("Click")
	--Teleport him to the TC
	--But first check his rank
	local role = player:GetRoleInGroup(6615557)
	local rank = ranks[role]
	print(rank)
	if rank >= 2 then
		print("Yes")
		--Fire a Remote Event
		TeleportService:Teleport(5160756942)
	else
		print("Else")
		TextButton.Text = "You have to be a Trainee or above to be able to get teleported to the Training Center."
		wait(3)
		TextButton.Text = defaultText
	end
end)

No output.

The default text variable has [[]] instead of “”. Why is that?

It’s a multi-line string because it would be too long.

Ok, but there is a property in Text Buttons which makes it go to the next line when enabled

(Replaced it with local defaultText = "Click to get teleported to the Training Center.Note that Trainings are not getting hosted all the time.")
