Teleportation Script in Lua for Roblox

This script enables teleportation between two parts in a Roblox game. When a player touches TeleportPart1, they will be teleported to TeleportPart2 with an added height offset.

Code Implementation

-- Define Variables for the Teleport Parts
local teleportPart1 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("TeleportPart1") -- Ensure TeleportPart1 exists
local teleportPart2 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("TeleportPart2") -- Ensure TeleportPart2 exists

-- Function to handle touch events on TeleportPart1
local function onTeleportPart1Touched(hit)
    -- Attempt to find the HumanoidRootPart of the player
    local playerCharacter = hit.Parent
    local humanoidRootPart = playerCharacter:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    
    -- Check if the HumanoidRootPart exists
    if humanoidRootPart then
        -- Teleport the player to TeleportPart2's position with an offset
        humanoidRootPart.CFrame = teleportPart2.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
    end
end

-- Connect the touch event to the function
teleportPart1.Touched:Connect(onTeleportPart1Touched)

Explanation

1. Variable Definitions:

   • teleportPart1 and teleportPart2 are assigned to the respective parts in the game.

2. Function Definition:

   • onTeleportPart1Touched(hit): Triggered when a player touches TeleportPart1.

3. Input Validation:

   • Validates the existence of HumanoidRootPart to ensure only players can be teleported.

4. Teleportation Logic:

   • The player's position is updated to that of TeleportPart2 plus an upward offset (Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)) to avoid glitches upon arrival.

5. Event Connection:

   • The function is connected to the Touched event of teleportPart1.

Usage Example

In a Roblox game, place this script inside a Script object that is a child of a model containing TeleportPart1 and TeleportPart2. When a player walks into TeleportPart1, they will be transported to TeleportPart2.

Additional Notes

• Ensure that TeleportPart1 and TeleportPart2 are correctly named in the Roblox hierarchy.
• Test the script in a secure environment to prevent unintended game behavior.
