so im trying to use the MoveTo function to teleport the player who touched it. But im not sure where to go from here to make it activate when touched. Heres what i have so far.


game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p)
p.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
p.Character:MoveTo(Vector3.new(214,20,119))

end)
end)

so would i use .Touched somewhere inside that? another function? or something else?

Yes, you need a server script to use Zyneak or my script. Redbullusa 1580 — 9y

Your question is a bit unclear but I'll try to help you.

Workspace.yourBrick.Touched:connect(function(p)
    if(game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(p.Parent) == nil) then return end -- This means that the part that touched this part isn't apart of a character.
       p.Parent:MoveTo(Vector3.new(214,20,119))
end)

Let's begin.

Touched Event

This fires when any brick touches the brick this event is attached to.

MoveTo Method

Quite simple. This moves the whole model to a point in the world based on the first parameter.

this doesnt seem to work, it might be because p.Parent might mean workspace? im not sure bubbaman73 143 — 9y

Scrap your script. There's no point in using the .PlayerAdded or the .CharacterAdded events. They're redundant.

What you should be focusing on is the .Touched event.

-- If this script is in the teleport part itself
TeleportBrick = script.Parent

function onTouched(hit) -- "hit" is the object that touched the teleport part
    -- Your code here
end

TeleportBrick.Touched:connect(onTouched)
-- This is a connection line. It establishes a "listener" to call the function.

You should add some safeguards to ensure that the model that's touching the teleport part is the character of the Player instance itself, such as the :GetPlayerFromCharacter() and the :FindFirstChild() methods.

  • :GetPlayerFromCharacter(): Verifies if the character is connected to a player. If true, it will return the player instance. If false, it will return nil.

  • :FindFirstChild(): Verifies if the object exists, utilizing the string of the name. If true, it will return the object. If false, it will return nil.

-- In your onTouched() function
local HumanoidIsFound = hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local PlayerIsFound = hit.Parent and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter
if HumanoidIsFound and PlayerIsFound then -- If all of the prerequisites are good, then...
    hit.Parent:MoveTo(214, 20, 119) -- Teleport this character to here!
end
