Teleportation Function in Lua for Roblox

This document provides a clean and structured implementation of a teleportation function in Lua for a Roblox game. The code ensures that only players from a specified team can teleport between two designated parts.

Code Overview

• Imports: No additional libraries are required for this script as it uses Roblox’s built-in functionalities.
• Functionality: The teleportation occurs when a player touches the first teleport part. It checks if the player belongs to the specified team before teleporting them to the second part.

Lua Code Implementation

-- Initialize references to the teleport parts
local teleportPart1 = script.Parent.TeleportPart1
local teleportPart2 = script.Parent.TeleportPart2

-- Define the team name that is allowed to teleport
local allowedTeamName = "Charm"  -- Replace with your actual team name

-- Connect the Touch event for teleportPart1
teleportPart1.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    -- Find the HumanoidRootPart of the player who touched the teleport part
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    
    -- Check if the player is valid and belongs to the allowed team
    if player then
        local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
        local humanoidRootPart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

        -- Validate the player's team membership
        if player.Team and player.Team.Name == allowedTeamName and humanoidRootPart then
            -- Teleport the player to teleportPart2, adjusting position to prevent clipping
            humanoidRootPart.CFrame = teleportPart2.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
        end
    end
end)

Key Features Included

1. References to Teleport Parts: The script starts by defining the references for TeleportPart1 and TeleportPart2.

2. Team Validation: The function checks whether the player who triggered the touch event belongs to a specified team (allowedTeamName).

3. Teleportation Logic: If the checks are passed, the player's HumanoidRootPart is adjusted to teleport them above TeleportPart2 for a smooth transition.

Comments and Documentation

• Comprehensive inline comments throughout the code help clarify what each section does.
• Functionality checks are in place to avoid errors related to nil references (for example, checking for HumanoidRootPart).

Example Usage

To use this code snippet:

1. Insert it into a LocalScript or ServerScript inside your Roblox game.
2. Make sure you have two teleport parts set up in the workspace with the correct names (TeleportPart1 and TeleportPart2).
3. Ensure you have a team named "Charm" (or replace allowedTeamName with your desired team).

Summary

This Lua script provides a robust framework for teleportation in a Roblox game, focusing on a simple and efficient way to restrict access based on player teams.
