"Unable to cast value to Objects" on TeleportToPrivateServer

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello!

I’ve been recently trying to use the “ReserveServer” functions of the TeleportService.

However, when I’m trying to teleport, it says that.image

My code:

function onCalled(player, place)
	print(player, " - ", place) -- Don't mind that.
	local tpS = game:GetService("TeleportService")
	local code = tpS:ReserveServer(place)
	print(code) -- Don't mind that either.
	tpS:TeleportToPrivateServer(place, code, player) -- Line that errors.
end

game.ReplicatedStorage.TeleportPlayer.OnServerEvent:Connect(onCalled)

How to fix that?

Thanks in advance,
Mehdi

the player argument, has to be a table.

e.g. tpS:TeleportToPrivateServer(place, code, {player1, player2, ...})

Maybe your using a global var. Add .value to the end to get its value. Not sure were. But that’s what I recognize the error being. Maybe place is the object?

You’ll still get the object values name when printing place. But to pass its value, you’ll need to specify.

After double-checking the Developer Hub, it seems like you’re right.
Testing… It’s that! Thanks you alot.

Apparently had to use a player table.

I think you’re confusing global variables with Roblox’s Value objects. Global variables are just normal variables with a global scope, you don’t have to do anything special to get their values.

Also, player isn’t even a global variable. It’s a parameter to the onCalled function, so it’s localized to that function.

Yeah, I didnt mean global variable in that sense.

I did mean value object. I’ve worked with many engines in the past, and that’s just how I refer to them I guess. Oops :slight_smile:

Sorry if it was misleading.

Just to clarify, a value object can be placed anywhere and shared among scripts. That’s global if you ask me.
