I need help with a Teleport script [?]

[Updated Again] Let me explain better. so if you click an image button, you teleport to a rp hub then you can click it again to teleport back to the last area in the rp that you were in.

This is the code:

function Teleport()
local GoTo = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("TheCastle")

if script.Parent.Value.Value == false then
    script.Parent.Value.Value = true
    p = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Head").CFrame
    script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Head").CFrame = GoTo.CFrame
else
    script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Head").CFrame = p
end
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(Teleport)


Yes, TheCastle is in workspace, yes script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent contains the head.

I even used

print(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent)

to prove it

errors:

Nothing appears in the output box

meant script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Head") if that isn't what you wrote. if it is then try WaitForChild("Head") 1waffle1 2908 — 9y

It looks like this script is running locally, which means the script is running before some of the things in the character have loaded. On line 6, WaitForChild is used to make sure that the head exists before continuing, but line 9 does not. Use WaitForChild instead of FindFirstChild on line 9.

Here's a nicer way to write it:

local head,p=script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Head")
local GoTo=workspace.TheCastle
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
    if script.Parent.Value.Value then
        head.CFrame=p
    else
        p=head.CFrame
        head.CFrame=GoTo.CFrame
    end
    script.Parent.Value.Value=not script.Parent.Value.Value
end)

re-wrote it, not sure what's going wrong with yours. script.Parent.Value.Value has to be false initially, otherwise p is undefined, but there are no errors so it is. 1waffle1 2908 — 9y

Still Doesnt work. connor12260311 383 — 9y

add script.Parent.Value.Value=not script.Parent.Value.Value after line 9. it never changes so it's never going to do something else. 1waffle1 2908 — 9y
