How do sub-places in a game connect?

Asked by

I'm trying to make teleporters in my active start place to teleport to an inactive place in the same game. I don't fully understand the sub-places of a game, but I'm assuming that they are the "Other Places" in a game. I've tried the sample code from the Wiki, but it doesn't seem to be working. I don't have a lot of experience with teleporting between places.

This is code inside of a touch button:

function onTouched(hit)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if player then
        game:GetService("TeleportService"):Teleport(224906765, player) -- 224906765 is place id
    end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(p)
    local player =
        touched.FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Parent
    if player then
        game:GetService("TeleportService"):Teleport(224906765, player)
    end
end

I think your mistake was that you didn't properly define player. I've done my best to help, but I don't quite know how to explain.

Just a heads up, you can shorten scripts like So say if you had.

function onClick()
    --Code here
end
script.Parent.MouseClick:connect(onClick)

You could change it to

script.Parent.MouseClick:connect(function()
    --Code here
end)

So, you'd have the connect, but change the function (onClick in our case) to function(

My original script freezes my game in the middle of the teleportation. But I tried defining the teleporting player like you said, and nothing much happened. Looks like I learned something new today about shortening scripts, at least. Thanks hipenguinflip 30 — 8y
