Not being able to test TeleportService inside Studio is a pain in the ass…
Why can’t I test it inside Studio?

Roblox on roblox studio doesn’t allow you, To Test Others place using Teleport service but you can test it in the Game.

It’s just the way it is, it wouldn’t make sense to be able to teleport to a completely different game whilst in studio. It would be utterly pointless. The Roblox Studio play feature is designed to be used for testing rather than playing.

It would also be a security issue as explained by @JackscarIitt.

This is not entirely true, as Studio provides you with a simulation of multiple clients.

#5

I know that, but my question is why, since Studio provides a multi-client simulation for all other purposes but TeleportService.

#6

I’m not a roblox engineer, but I know that in the past you could do it , I think roblox for some security reason disabled this feature.

#7

yea i actually remember doing something similar like that in roblox studio.
in 2016 i think.

I believe using functions provided by TeleportService aren’t allowed inside of Studio mainly due to the fact of teleporting to other player’s games for security purposes

I do recall remembering being able to Teleport within Studio back a couple years ago though, but I believe it was only limited to teleporting within your own places

couldnt u actually play roblox in studio back then?
going on the roblox website on games. i swear i remember doing that.

As an alternative, you can check if RunService:IsStudio() and then print something that tells you that you’ve teleported instead of actually teleporting, that’s what I do.

I would like it to be that simple, but as I explained in a previous question (which I have already resolved), when a player enters my game for the first time, he must choose a place on a map to which he will be teleported. This way, I will be forced to definitively abandon my testing inside Studio just because Studio doesn’t allow teleportation…

You can’t have multiple instances of studio open?

#13

I don’t know if I understand your question or if you haven’t read the topic. The problem is that Studio doesn’t allow Teleport.

#14

I understand it’s annoying but there might be other reasons it’s not allowed.
Probably would have been a thing already if it was significant enough to make into a feature.
