Retrieving Teleport that has been touched?

Asked 142 views1 answers

Sorry I haven't long woken up and I know it's probably an easy fix but I can't for the life of me think straight...

local TpLocations = game:GetService("Workspace"):WaitForChild("TeleportFolder")

--DoesTheMagic
local function TeleportPlayer(HitPart)
	if HitPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		
		print("A user has touched a TP: ".. HitPart.Parent.Name)
	end 
end


--FireFunctionOnTPTouch
for _,v in pairs(TpLocations:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("BasePart") then
		v.Touched:Connect(TeleportPlayer)
	end
end

I'm creating a folder which stores all Teleport Pads in the same location. On touch of any Teleport Pad, I would like it to print which Player has touched the Teleport Pad but also display which Teleport Pad has been touched.

Eg.

"A user has touched a TP: xXTouchOfFrostXx" "Teleport Location: _______ "

Any ideas?

Thank you :)

You can create local function that will fire on [.Touched] and then will call [TeleportPlayer] with all arguments you need it to:

-- use ipairs for arrays
for _,v in ipairs(TpLocations:GetChildren()) do
    if v:IsA("BasePart") then
	local function _onTouched(HitPart)
		TeleportPlayer(HitPart, v) -- or v.Name
	end

        v.Touched:Connect(_onTouched)
    end
end

I named those local functions like private variables, but that's just my own style you don't have to do that.
