Why won't my script teleport players in a seat?

Asked 289 views1 answers
local seats = workspace.Seat

local teleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")

local num = 0

local playersInSeats = {}

local countdown = false


local function countDown()

	if not countdown then 

		countdown = true

		print("Start countdown")
		playersInSeats = {}

		for i = 5,1,-1 do

			if num < 1 then break end -- if everyone gets off, reset timer
			if num == #seats:GetChildren() then break end -- if seats are full, teleport
			wait(1)

		end

		if num >= 4 then

			print("Start game")

			local serverCode = teleportService:ReserveServer(6597645798)

			for _,seat in pairs(seats:GetChildren()) do

				if seat.Occupant then

					local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(seat.Occupant.Parent)

					table.insert(playersInSeats,plr)

				end

			end


			teleportService:TeleportToPrivateServer(6597645798,serverCode,playersInSeats)

			countdown = false

		else

			countdown = false

		end

	end

end

for _,seat in pairs(seats:GetChildren()) do

	if seat:IsA("Seat") then

		seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):connect(function()

			if seat.Occupant ~= nil then

				num = num + 1
				countDown()

			else

				num = num - 1

			end

		end)

	end

end

I decided to redo my code from my old code, because this is far more reliable. It just won't teleport at all.

This is going to a Reserved Server within the starting place.

Any help would be deeply appreciated, once I get this first section done - I can finally actually start the real development.

please use Connect instead of connect as it is deprecated

Hello.

This may not be the most efficient way to code what you are trying, but rather a functional version of your code.

Your countdown has been coded incorrectly, and will stop at 5 any time it begins, your script will also attempt to teleport the players before the seats are full. The teleport will work however it will work incorrectly.

The countdown counts down to 0 every time a seat is changed, and if the seats arent full then nothing will happen, but if they are full, then after the 5 second countdown the game will start. Becareful for trolls however, as somebody could always keep leaving the seats anytime the game is about to start.

Try this instead:

local Seats = workspace.Seats
local Number = 0

local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local PlayersSitting = {}
local Countdown = false

local function CountdownTeleport()
	if not (Countdown) then
		Countdown = true

		PlayersSitting = {}

		for CountdownTimer = 5, 0, -1 do
			print(CountdownTimer)
			if (Number < 1) then
				break
			else
				if (CountdownTimer == 0) then
					if (Number == #Seats:GetChildren()) then
						break
					end
				end
			end
			wait(1)
		end
	end

	if (Number >= 4) then

		local ReservedServer = TeleportService:ReserveServer(6597645798)

		for _, Seat in pairs(Seats:GetChildren()) do
			if (Seat.Occupant) then
				local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Seat.Occupant.Parent)

				table.insert(PlayersSitting, Player)
			end
		end
		TeleportService:TeleportToPrivateServer(6597645798, ReservedServer, PlayersSitting)
		Countdown = false
	else
		Countdown = false
	end
end

for _, Seat in pairs(Seats:GetChildren()) do
	if (Seat:IsA("Seat")) then
		local function DetectSeatChange()
			if (Seat.Occupant ~= nil) then
				Number += 1
				CountdownTeleport()
			else
				Number -= 1
			end
		end
		Seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(DetectSeatChange)
	end
end

Make sure you have a folder in workspace named Seats with the seats inside of it.

Hope this helps
