Random Teleport teleporting me to wrong place. Please help?

Asked by 6 years ago
Edited 6 years ago

I want my script to teleport me to the "Hostile District" (A place I built in my game) but it teleports me to someplace in the air and far away from where I should teleport.

function onTouch(hit)
local s=math.random(1,2)
if s == 1 then
hit.Parent:MoveTo(Vector3.new(workspace.HostileDistrict.TeleLoc.Position)) -- Hostile District
--elseif s == 2 then
--hit.Parent:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-461.15, 2.05, -11125.091)) -- Sand Box
end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

And when I do it like this:

function onTouch(hit)
local s=math.random(1,2)
if s == 1 then
hit.Parent:MoveTo(Vector3.new(1147.749, -429.55, -103.099)) -- Hostile District
--elseif s == 2 then
--hit.Parent:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-461.15, 2.05, -11125.091)) -- Sand Box
end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

It teleports me a few feet in the air above where I want it.

btw, I've disabled lines 5 and 6 by turning them into comments so it teleports me directly to the Hostile District so I can test its teleport. As for the Sand Box however, it teleports me exactly to the correct spot. Can someone help me with this?

P.S: I tried moving the location then rewriting the position, but it still has the same problem.

Using MoveTo to move a model can result in weird behaviour, such as moving to the wrong place. Character models have a PrimaryPart, and you can set the CFrame of the primary part to the position.

function onTouch(part)
    if part.Parent:FindFirstChild"HumanoidRootPart" then
        part.Parent:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(1147.749, -429.55, -103.099))
    end
end

When you move an object using Vector3 it will not clip through other objects. You will instead spawn wherever you need to be to not clip through something, generally above the desired position. You might want to try using CFrame by using :SetPrimaryPartCFrame. Assuming its a player, the player model will already have the PrimaryPartCFrame as HumanoidRootPart. Thus all you need to do is this.

function onTouch(hit)
    local s=math.random(1,2)
    if s == 1 then
    hit.Parent:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(1147.749, -429.55, -103.099)) -- Hostile District
    --elseif s == 2 then
    --hit.Parent:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(-461.15, 2.05, -11125.091)) -- Sand Box
    end
    end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

This will error if an object that isn't a player touches. So if you don't add a check to see if an object touching is a player, it will break. I'll leave that up to you to figure out, it is quite simple. Anyway, I hope this helps! If it doesn't my discord is Autizmos#3556 and i'll be happy to assist you!

Ok, I've added you on discord, cause the script teleported me outside of the Hostile District. TehHyperGamer 0 — 6y
