TeleportService | TeleportData = nil?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I just started working with TeleportService since I need to teleport players to an other place after they used an elevator in the starter place, and I want to send some data with the players from the elevator so that I can kick all the players that try to join the place as well from their profiles. I have tried to find a solution from other dev forum posts, and the roblox create page as well, but I still couldn’t fix it. Here is my code.

--code from the starter place from a module script--
function GameManager.StartGame(GameData)
	local self = setmetatable(GameData, GameManager)
	local TeamStats = CreateStats()
	local SpawnPointUsed = {}
	
	
	
	local TeleportOptions = Instance.new("TeleportOptions")
	local teleportData = {}
	teleportData["AcessPass"] = true
	teleportData["Team"] = GameData["Team"]
	TeleportOptions.ShouldReserveServer = true
	TeleportOptions:SetTeleportData(teleportData)
	Teleportation:TeleportPartyAsync(PlaceId, GameData["Team"], TeleportOptions)
	

--code from the other place in a server script
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")

print("something")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local JoinData = Player:GetJoinData()
	local teleportdata= JoinData.TeleportData
	print(teleportdata["AcessPass"])
	
end)

TeleportService:GetLocalPlayerTeleportData() is a function which gives all the data that is being send to the client. You might want to use that. (Can only be called on the client)

#3

I can give it a try, even though that also seemed to not work earlier, I have read this post abt what I did above your message Teleporting Between Places | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub, shouldn’t that just work as well?

#4

In the link you provided there’s a warning that states:

Which means that you must use the Roblox Player to test TeleportService functionalty instead of Studio which could explain why you’re receiving nil

#5

I think he does playtest it on the application, since the comments already say that its other places

#6

Which comment are you quoting though?

#7

its at the top of his second script
edit: bru i dont find the quote anymore

#8

Oh lol I thought you meant comments on the DevForum. In my interpretation though, that doesn’t really confirm where they’re testing as they could still be using Studio to do so

#9

I am testing it on the website, not in roblox studio.

I did some research on TeleportService and this is what I found: You want to teleport a group of players to a different place when they use an elevator and send data with them as well. You’re using TeleportService:TeleportPartyAsync to do so, but the parameters you’re inserting to the function aren’t what TeleportPartyAsync expects which are:

  1. The place id of the place you wish to teleport the players to
  2. An array containing every Player Instance you wish to teleport
  3. Either a string, number, bool value or a table that does not contain mixed keys (example below) you wish to send as data. You’re sending a TeleportOptions Instance instead which is incorrect for the TeleportPartyAsync function which is probably why you’re receiving nil
  4. A custom loading screen you wish to send (optional)

Mixed key table example (essentially a table that’s both an array and a dictionary):

local table = {"Hello!", Value = 234, ["Color"] = "Red", 567, [5] = true}

I kind of need to send multiple ppl to one specific server, and I want to send data with them so that I can kick others that try to join their game from their profile, so what would you recommend me to use then?

#12

The issue isn’t necessarily the function you’re using, but you’re not inputting correct data to the function in parameter 3. You’re using a TeleportOptions when parameter 3 wants either a string, number, boolean or non-mixed table as I explained in my comment

#13

Ah I see, I can prob fix that then, but can I still pass teleportoptions then with teleportpartyasync, or no?
Since I do need that to be passed as well.

#14

If so then you need to use TeleportAsync instead of TeleportPartyAsync

#15

Hm alright, so I probably have to use a loop or something to send all the players to the server then or something like that, eh I will check it out soon, and if I run into any problems I will come back to this post.
Thank you that you are taking your time to help me out with this:))

#16

TeleportAsync is different than Teleport, it accepts multiple players so there’s no need to use a loop. Here’s how to use it:

TeleportService:TeleportAsync(
	12345, -- This is the place id
	{player1, player2, player3}, -- An array containing players you want to teleport
	teleportOptions -- The teleport options Instance you want to send
)
#17

oooooh okay, and with teleport async I can send a fourth argument that is the table with the data that I want to pass as well?

#18

Be careful because TeleportAsync doesn’t have a 4th argument. If you follow my example it shows you what the function needs and I also recommend you read the docs for more info on how to use the function here

#19

Huh I swear I have read that I could pass data with teleportservice as well

#20

Well TeleportService is an Instance (and a service) so you can’t pass data using it directly but it does have multiple functions you can use to do so. I read the document to learn about it too and from what I understood a lot of the functions (methods) seem to do the same thing so I understand the confusion. TeleportAsync seems to be the one you need which is why I recommended it
