Teleport script on keypress not working. Is my code formatted correctly?
I am trying to teleport a user when key 'V' is pressed on the keyboard. I figured this would be an easy task but I must be missing something here...
local PlayerName = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
if game:getService("UserInputService"):IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.V) then
game.Workspace[PlayerName]:MoveTo(Vector3.new(234,4.31,446.92))
end
end
If anyone could tell me what I am doing wrong it would be more than appreciated!

You're close.
The IsKeyDown method of UserInputService will return true if you are pressing the key with the key code you pass. The check is only made once, the script won't check again. Using the InputBegan event you can do the check there.
local client = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
-- better way of getting a service. workspace you don't really need to use this.
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gpe)
if gpe then return end -- if in a textbox, stop the function
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.V then
client.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(234,4.31,446.92))
-- Using cframe to teleport to prevent conflict with possible parts
end
end)
Finally, indexing the character from the workspace is not a good idea. If a user named Terrain or Part joined your game your script would break, lol
