How to run a for loop to teleport character in workspace?
So I'm making an elevator that teleports players that enter it. When it has 2, 3, or 4 players it teleports the players. When players enter it, it sticks there character names in a table. So I'm trying to make a for loop that searches for their character in workspace but it is not working.
Heres the code:
01 | local function Teleport() --Teleports players to tracks |
02 | local St1 = Points.StartingLine1 |
03 | local St2 = Points.StartingLine2 |
04 | local St3 = Points.StartingLine3 |
05 | local St4 = Points.StartingLine4 |
06 |
07 | for index, value in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do |
08 | local value = game.Workspace[index] |
09 | if value.Name == PlayerArray[1] then |
10 | value:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = St1.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0) |
11 | elseif value.Name == PlayerArray[2] then |
12 | value:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = St2.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0) |
13 | elseif value.Name == PlayerArray[3] then |
14 | value:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = St3.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0) |
15 | elseif value.Name == PlayerArray[4] then |
16 | value:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = St4.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0) |
17 | end |
18 | end |
19 | end |
Any idea's?

like this
01 | --Make a loop |
02 | while true do |
03 |
04 | CheckState(spelercountdata, Server.spelercount) |
05 | wait(Time) |
06 | CheckState(ServerBankData,Server.BankState) |
07 | wait(Time) |
08 | -- Funtion(Special ID, What {Store or Bank in my case}) |
09 | CheckState(ServerStoreData,Server.StoreState) |
10 | wait(Time) |
11 | CheckState(HelperData, Server.Helper) |
12 | wait(Time) |
13 | CheckState(ServerRestart1Data,Server.Restart1) |
14 | wait(Time) |
15 | CheckState(ServerRestartData,Server.Restart) |
16 |
17 |
18 | wait(TimeToWait) |
19 |
20 | end |
it repeats this all the time

I am not really sure what is wrong with this script, maybe you are not saving characters names properly? If I may make a suggestion though... What you really should do instead of searching the workspace for characters, you should use Players service. Try this solution:
01 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
02 |
03 | local function Teleport() --Teleports players to tracks |
04 | local St1 = Points.StartingLine1 |
05 | local St2 = Points.StartingLine2 |
06 | local St3 = Points.StartingLine3 |
07 | local St4 = Points.StartingLine4 |
08 |
09 | for i, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do |
10 | if player.Name == PlayerArray[1] then |
11 | player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = St1.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0) |
12 | elseif player.Name == PlayerArray[2] then |
13 | player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = St2.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0) |
14 | elseif player.Name == PlayerArray[3] then |
15 | player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = St3.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0) |
16 | elseif player.Name == PlayerArray[4] then |
17 | player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = St4.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0) |
18 | end |
19 | end |
20 | end |
If it still does not work, please check names in PlayerArray table.
Well, I found the issue.
Using a for loop the way I did will require a table, I though game.Workspace:GetChildren() would do, but instead I just need to make a variable:
Ws = game.Workspace:GetChildren()
And Ws is now it's own independent table that's the children of workspace. So if we use Value = Ws[Index] rather than Value = game.Workspace[Index] it will give the desired result.
Final Code:
01 | local function Teleport() --Teleports players to tracks |
02 | local St1 = Points.StartingLine1 |
03 | local St2 = Points.StartingLine2 |
04 | local St3 = Points.StartingLine3 |
05 | local St4 = Points.StartingLine4 |
06 |
07 | local Ws = game.Workspace:GetChildren() |
08 | for index, value in pairs(Ws) do |
09 | local value = Ws[index] |
10 | if value.Name == PlayerArray[1] then |
11 | value:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = St1.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0) |
12 | elseif value.Name == PlayerArray[2] then |
13 | value:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = St2.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0) |
14 | elseif value.Name == PlayerArray[3] then |
15 | value:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = St3.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0) |
16 | elseif value.Name == PlayerArray[4] then |
17 | value:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = St4.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0) |
18 | end |
19 | end |
20 | end |
