How to make a friend teleport script in the same universe? (Issues)

PROBLEM It only allows me to teleport to people in the exact same server that i'm trying to teleport from. useless right? I would greatly appreciate some help.

DESC I tried to make a feature that uses the typed name of a player, fires it to the server, and gets their UserId to begin the first part.

--Gets the userId of "Who"
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.TeleportToFriend.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player,Who)
`   local FriendId
    pcall(function() 
        FriendId = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(Who)
    end)
    FollowFriend(Player,FriendId) -- Function that makes you follow your friend
end)

The second part of the script is the one following the friend's named they typed.

function FollowFriend(player, targetUserId)
    local teleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
    local success, errorMsg, placeId, instanceId =      teleportService:GetPlayerPlaceInstanceAsync(targetUserId)
    if success then
        teleportService:TeleportToPlaceInstance(placeId, instanceId, player)
    else
        print("Teleport error:", errorMsg)
    end
end

However this is where it won't let me teleport to anyone outside of my server?

Any suggesstions? Any help appreciated

You are not doing anything if GetUserIdFromNameAsync fails and you are not pcalling GetPlayerPlaceInstanceAsync. Use "pcall(teleportService.GetPlayerPlaceInstanceAsync, teleportService, targetUserId)" hiimgoodpack 2009 — 5y

Try using the IsFriendsWith() statement, shown in an example here: wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Player/IsFriendsWith
