tp to spawn

[simple hamlet]

can someone help me make the tp to spawn take 5 seconds and not instantly

[fossil vale]

Just connect a UI button to a function that changes the humanoidRootPart's location. (you can use task.delay for the delay

[simple hamlet]

i already have the ui and it tps i just dont know how to add a timer to the tp

[fossil vale]

task.delay

[simple hamlet]

how i do that

[fossil vale]

look at the docs

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/libraries/task#delay

[simple hamlet]

what do i look for on there

[fossil vale]

task.delay...

[simple hamlet]

ok mb

i found it i think but it says 5 hello word

[potent tree]

** You are now Level 1! **

[simple hamlet]

local thread = task.delay(5, function()
print("Hello world!")
end)

task.cancel(thread)

[fossil vale]

that's from the4 docs of task.cancel...

Scroll up

that just shows you how to cancel a task.delay (or any thread to be frank)

[simple hamlet]

delay(0)

thats the only thing?

[simple hamlet]

?

[fossil vale]

reading sure is difficult

[simple hamlet]

but what the script and where on the gui do i put it

[fossil vale]

Learn how to read (and just use) the docs, it will be the most important thing you can learn when using the roblox engine

[simple hamlet]

i know how do read i js needed ur attention

[ripe basin]

put it on whatever you wanna delay, and for you you would just insert your tp logic into a delay coroutine, so it would be something like this

task.delay(5, function()
    --Blah
    --Blah
    --Blah
    --Tp Player to place
end)

[simple hamlet]

thats the whole script?

[ripe basin]

yeah just put your tp stuff into a task.delay function

and the number up top is the delay in seconds

[simple hamlet]

so i keep the blahs?

[ripe basin]

no, those are comments, replace the comments with your tp script that works

[simple hamlet]

where d oi place this script

[ripe basin]

okay, show me your script rn that tps the player on click

[ripe basin]

show me the script that is doing this

[simple hamlet]

local plr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local char = plr.Character

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.nos.CFrame
end)

[ripe basin]

local plr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local char = plr.Character

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    task.delay(5, function()
        char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.nos.CFrame 
    end)
end)

do you see what I did?

[simple hamlet]

so i copy that one and replace it

[potent tree]

[ripe basin]

also, what you could've done is this:

local plr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local char = plr.Character

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    task.wait(5)
    char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.nos.CFrame 
end)

[ripe basin]

yes

how long have you been scripting?

[simple hamlet]

i did a lot in 2020 but quit and just came back a few days ago

[ripe basin]

okay, just make sure to keep up with coding, and I agree with the other guy, learning to read documentation and really understand how parts of the roblox engine works is important

[simple hamlet]

okay i apreciate it, but one last thing is it a whole other script to make it count down from 5? so people know

[ripe basin]

What do you mean?

like you want text so show it counting down?

[simple hamlet]

yes

so they know it works but takes a few seconds

[ripe basin]

so this script is a server script right? The script that you copied this text into

[simple hamlet]

what do you mean?

[ripe basin]

is the script that you teleport your player with, a server or client script?

[simple hamlet]

not sure ngl

i just copied yours

[ripe basin]

okay

[potent tree]

** You are now Level 3! **

[ripe basin]

did you paste it into a server or local script?

[simple hamlet]

its a local script

[ripe basin]

Okay I'd recommend watching this vid if you want more info, but right now your script has a massive problem, where the player is only getting teleported on their screen

in Roblox there is the server and the client, and since what your doing is running on a client script, your player isn't actually teleporting on the server

[simple hamlet]

so local script is client sided?

only i see it

[ripe basin]

so what you need to do is keep that local script right, and make it create a new gui with text and have it count down, and also fire to the server once it's done

[ripe basin]

yes, only the player who is running it on their machine will see it

[simple hamlet]

i just tested it, my brother sees me tp

[ripe basin]

check the server view

[simple hamlet]

wheres that

[ripe basin]

right next to the "Play" button in roblox studio you can switch between server and client view

[simple hamlet]

ok now what

i see mysefl

[ripe basin]

when you click the teleport button on the client side and teleport you'll see that your location is different between the server and client view

Okay, I edited the script

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')

local Player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local Character = Player.Character

local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent -- replace this with where you put your remote event

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    --have code here which adds in text to the gui
    for Counter = 5, 0, -1 do
        Label.Text = Counter -- Replace Label with whatever variable you made for a textlabel object
        task.wait(1)
    end

    RemoteEvent:FireServer(Player) -- make another script which is a server script that teleports the player
end)

you can copy this if you want, listen to the comments and follow them

this code will not work, it's just to show you what to do

[simple hamlet]

already have a tp script

[ripe basin]

?

[simple hamlet]

i have a tp script alreeady

u gave it to me

[ripe basin]

okay yeah but it doesn't change the players location on the server side

[simple hamlet]

it changed for my borther
