Help Teleporting a Player?

Asked by 8 years ago

So this goes along with a question that I've previously asked (which has been answered). Here's the script again:

wait(1)
character = game.Players:findFirstChild(""..game.Workspace.ValueHold.Player.Value.."")


local t = game.Workspace.ValueHold.RoomCount

t.Changed:connect(function()
    print("Changing Room...")
    local r = math.random(1,3)
    if r == 1 then
        local room = game.ServerStorage.defroom1:Clone()
        room.Parent = game.Workspace
        game.Workspace.ValueHold.CurrentRoom.Value = 1
        character.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(game.Workspace.defroom1.spawn.Position)
        elseif r == 2 then
        local room2 = game.ServerStorage.defroom2:Clone()
        room2.Parent = game.Workspace
        game.Workspace.ValueHold.CurrentRoom.Value = 2
        character.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(game.Workspace.defroom2.spawn.Position)
        elseif r == 3 then
        local room3 = game.ServerStorage.defroom3:Clone()
        room3.Parent = game.Workspace
        game.Workspace.ValueHold.CurrentRoom.Value = 3
        character.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(game.Workspace.defroom3.spawn.Position)
    end
end)

Now, time for me to explain. So, you touch a button, you get teleported to a new room, that room has a button that does the same thing, yadda yadda yadda, nothing important, until you get to the actual teleporting part. So, I have a value that stores the players name upon entering the game. So, if your name is "awesomedude123", then the value changes to "awesomedude123". The beginning of the script defines "character" as "awesomedude123", and when a random room is picked, it takes "character" and teleports him to a new room. Same story as my last problem: Works In test mode, but not in a server. I've been told to add a "wait(1)' before it, and that should fix the problem, but it doesn't.

All help is greatly appreciated.

Is this a localscript? drew1017 330 — 8y

Add a print("Hello World!") after the character variable. Does the server print Hello World! or not in the output window? Spongocardo 1991 — 8y

I recommend using a LocalScript for this.

Turn on FilteringEnabled, and insert a LocalScript into StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts.

This way, you don't need to mess around with values or anything to find out which player to teleport.

Your script might look something like this

repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer;
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player:WaitForChild("Character")

local rooms = {game.ServerStorage.defroom1, game.ServerStorage.defroom2, game.ServerStorage.defroom3}
local buttons = {game.Workspace.button1, game.Workspace.button2, game.Workspace.button3}
local currentRoom = {} --The script will put stuff in here

local jammed = false --This is for debounce. If a player touches the button, we only want the script to register it once.

-----
local seeder = coroutine.create( function() while true do math.randomseed(game.Workspace.Randomparts.a1.Rotation.X or tick()) coroutine.yield() end end)
---- This creates seeds for random numbers so it creates a different random sequence each time!

function createRoom(Index)
    local newRoom = rooms[Index]:Clone()
    table.insert(currentRoom,newRoom)
    newRoom.Parent = workspace
    local button = newRoom:FindFirstChild("Button", true)
    button.Touched:connect(buttonTouched)
end

function buttonTouched() --Create a function for each button that fires when the button is touched
    if not jammed then
        jammed = true --make sure no more functions can be created

        coroutine.resume(seeder)
        local newRoomIndex = math.random(1,#rooms) --pick a random room (could be the same one)
        print("Changing Room...")

        --Remove old room
        currentRoom[1]:Destroy()
        table.remove(currentRoom,1)


        --Create new room
        createRoom(newRoomIndex)

        character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(rooms[newRoomIndex].spawn.Position) --Teleport player

        jammed = false --make the sript able to run again
    end
end
--Setup--
createRoom(1)

Make sense, however the buttons aren't a part of workspace. Their an Unnamed door inside of each individual room. I could rename the doors, however what would I do to target them? ZeMeNbUiLdEr 104 — 8y

Ok, so I edited the script to find the correct location of the buttons, however when the button is touched, the room just disappears. I don't get teleported. Help? ZeMeNbUiLdEr 104 — 8y

I edited my script to work how you want it to. My script assumes there is only one button in each room, and that it is named "Button", and is the only thing named "Button". Please hit "Accept Answer" if my answer is sufficient. Validark 1580 — 8y
