GUI Player Teleporter? Help!
So I'm trying to make a GUI where you type in the players name you would like to teleport but so far nothing happens when I do so. The script is located in a button. I am sure I have got my player directly targeted.
playerselect = script.Parent.Parent.PlayerSelect.Text
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
local choose = script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild(playerselect.Text)
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name == choose then
local target = v.Character.Torso.Position
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Character.Torso.Position = CFrame.new(target)
end
end
end)

I notice a few errors with this.
The first might not be an issue, but it looks suspicious: is the TextBox PlayerSelect or Text? If it's PlayerSelect, then the line should be this:
playerselect = script.Parent.Parent.PlayerSelect
Next, the for loop is probably not necessary, since there will only be up to one player with the name specified. You can achieve the same effect with this:
local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(playerselect.Text)
if player then
-- Rest of code here.
end
Finally, you're trying to set the Position of the character (a Vector3 value) to a CFrame. Since this won't work, you should do this instead:
local target = player.Character.Torso.CFrame -- The long .Parent chain is not necessary; note that this requires a local script to work. game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Torso.CFrame = target
The complete code should look like this:
playerselect = script.Parent.Parent.PlayerSelect
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(playerselect.Text)
if player then
local target = player.Character.Torso.CFrame
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Torso.CFrame = target
end
end)

The one problem is would that work as a local script because Im making a game with FE AuthenticOakChair 68 — 7y

When your script needs to change something like a part's CFrame, a server script would be best. FilteringEnabled would mess up everything then. EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 7y

There is surely a way to work around that. AuthenticOakChair 68 — 7y

Oh and btw i tried your code without FE in a local script and I got "Argument 1 missing or nil" AuthenticOakChair 68 — 7y
