For the past few days developers have been encountering the error “A specified Member cannot join the Destination Place” when teleporting a group of players to another place.
I’ve also experienced this error yesterday while trying out the new party feature, however I don’t have any data to back this so take it as an anecdote.
Calling TeleportService:TeleportAsync() with a table containing multiple players as the players argument throws the error A specified Member cannot join the Destination Place, while it’s not thrown when teleporting a single player.
I’ve created a repro place to test this. The subplace is published and the other player has play access to it.
I’m experiencing this issue too. For me, it’s happening when I’m trying to teleport people with “Play” permissions in a privated game to a subplace of that same game. If everyone in the server has “Edit” permissions, the issue doesn’t happen.
This method should not be used for new work; the numerous teleport functions have been combined into a single method, TeleportAsync(), which should be used instead.
Still happening for me. It works if everybody that’s teleporting has edit access, so for now I’m managing by just testing with other developers. Still quite annoying however, I hope it is fixed soon.
A potential workaround you could try is wrapping the initial teleport function that presumably tries to teleport all players in a pcall. That way you should be able to detect if the group teleport fails for whatever reason. Then potentially run a fallback teleport attempt that runs TeleportAsync on each player individually through an i, v in pairs loop.
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.TeleportEveryone
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
local success, err = pcall(function()
print("Teleporting")
TeleportService:TeleportAsync(91256466420414, game.Players:GetPlayers())
end)
if not success then
warn("Group teleport failed, attempting fallback method, error was: "..err)
for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
TeleportService:TeleportAsync(91256466420414,{v})
end
end
end)
