How do I keep track of the player when I teleport him/her? (HTTP 500 User if Offline)
I'm trying to match a group of players together and put them together in one place. However, when I try to receive information of the player joining the game, I receive this error: HTTP 500 (HTTP/1.1 500 User is offline)
I've used a bit from the Matchmaking tutorial on the roblox wiki in order to make this code and I understand most of it I think. I can't figure out why the user is apparantely offline though.
if #playernamelist > 1 and att.Value > 2 then
joinlist = {playernamelist[1], playernamelist[2]}
table.remove(playernamelist, 1)
table.remove(playernamelist, 1)
id = joinlist[1].UserId
local match = game:GetService("AssetService"):CreatePlaceAsync("2 player match", 243740040)
print(match)
wait(5)
local connection = joinlist[1].OnTeleport:connect(function(teleportState, placeId)
if teleportState == Enum.TeleportState.Started then
local teleportStarted = os.time()
-- Keep checking if playerA has arrived in other instance.
wait(3)
while true do
local success, error, placeId, arenaInstanceId = teleportService:GetPlayerPlaceInstanceAsync(id)
print(success)
print(error)
print(placeId)
print(arenaInstanceId)
-- If playerA is in the correct place then we can teleport playerB there as well
if placeId == 243740040 then
teleportService:TeleportToPlaceInstance(placeId, arenaInstanceId, joinlist[2])
return
end
wait()
end
end
end)
wait(1)
-- Teleport playerA to the arena
teleportService:Teleport(243740040, joinlist[1])
att.Value = 0
end

I've managed to get this fixed myself eventually: This error seems to happen before the new place starts loading but after the place got requested. In order to fix this I use pcall to keep trying to join, igoring the error. This eventually properly returns the instance so you can make players join the same game.
Here is the code that is fixed, do note that it has some indenting errors as this is in the middle of the script.
if #playernamelist > 1 and att.Value > 2 then
joinlist = {playernamelist[1], playernamelist[2]}
table.remove(playernamelist, 1)
table.remove(playernamelist, 1)
id = joinlist[1].UserId
)
local match = game:GetService("AssetService"):CreatePlaceAsync("Bomberblox 2 player match", 243740040)
print(match)
local connection = joinlist[1].OnTeleport:connect(function(teleportState, placeId)
if teleportState == Enum.TeleportState.Started then
local teleportStarted = os.time()
-- Keep checking if playerA has arrived in other instance.
wait(5)
while true do
pcall( --Then let's just force it.
function()
local success, error, placeId, arenaInstanceId = teleportService:GetPlayerPlaceInstanceAsync(id)
print(success)
print(error)
print(placeId)
print(arenaInstanceId)
--workspace.Message.Text = "success: " + tostring(success) + ". error: " + error + ". placeId: " + tostring(placeId) + ". Instance: " + tostring(arenaInstanceId)
-- If playerA is in the correct place then we can teleport playerB there as well
if placeId == match then
teleportService:TeleportToPlaceInstance(placeId, arenaInstanceId, joinlist[2])
return
end
end)
wait(1)
end
end
end)
wait(1)
-- Teleport playerA to the arena
teleportService:Teleport(match, joinlist[1])
att.Value = 0
end
