Where to get started with teleportation?

My general idea is that i want a character to have a short burst movement ability to teleport a short distance to wherever the mouse is pointed.

Now you may be asking, 'where is your code?'. Thats my problem, i dont even know where to begin to make an ability possible. All i know is that it will use the :Getmouse(), a mouse1down event. Potentially would raycasting also be needed? I dont know, i just need somebody to point me in the right direction or write out a short description of what i need to do to make it possible.

Hi 27starghost, I will show you a bunch of codes and describe each of them to you. So, you want to start with Teleportation Process.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I know that this isn't what you've asked for but it still might help you.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make sure to put 2 parts in your Workspace inside ROBLOX Studio with the size of: 4, 12.57, 5.3, and put the option CanCollide inside Properties of Both parts to false. Name them, "Teleporter1" and "Teleporter2".

Here's an image on how should that look: https://imgur.com/a/prqXC2D

First of all, you need to know how to get Character from the "Normal Script". (In this case, we are going to use hit.Parent)

Here's an example:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local Character = hit.Parent
	-- code here
end)

Well, that was a code on how to get a character from "Normal Script". Now we need to learn how to actually Teleport player from Part A to Part B! (In this case, we are gonna be using SetPrimaryPartCFrame)

SetPrimaryPartCFrame will teleport the Model's Primary Part, in this case the Player Model already has PrimaryPart which is HumanoidRootPart.

Here's an example:

local ExitPart = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Teleporter2") -- This is a part where our Player Model needs to be teleported to

-- So lets import our first code here

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local Character = hit.Parent
		Character:SetPrimarPartyCFrame(CFrame.new(ExitPart.Position))
end)

So, now when we learned how to Teleport player from place A to place B, we need to finish the script!

The script for Teleporter1 will be: (Put this in a normal script inside a Part called "Teleporter1" which you've created earlier.)

local ExitPart = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Teleporter2") -- Name of Exit Part where will Player be teleported to.

local debounce = 1 -- Prevents a ton of hits at once

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) -- Executes code when Player touches the object
	local Character = hit.Parent
		if Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil and debounce == 1 then
			debounce = 0
				Character:SetPrimarPartyCFrame(CFrame.new(ExitPart.Position))
		end
	debounce = 1
end)

And the script for Teleporter2 will be: (Put this in a normal script inside a Part called "Teleporter2" which you've created earlier.)

local ExitPart = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Teleporter1") -- Name of Exit Part where will Player be teleported to.

local debounce = 1 -- Prevents a ton of hits at once

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) -- Executes code when Player touches the object
	local Character = hit.Parent
		if Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil and debounce == 1 then
			debounce = 0
				Character:SetPrimarPartyCFrame(CFrame.new(ExitPart.Position))
		end
	debounce = 1
end)

So, this was something basic on how to make teleport script from Part A to Part B, I hope that this will help you even a bit.

I wish you a luck in your scripting career.

Have a good day mate.
