thats the error am getting when am referencing a part for a variable, when before i click play the part is there, but once i click play it disappears. and am not destroying it in any script??

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 3:50 PM

#

do you have a pic of the script. It could help

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 3:51 PM

#

'v'

#

"v"

#

'v'

#

''v''

#

v

#

v

#

what the um thingy for code

#

v

#

nvm

#

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait() local HRP = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") local startPosition = workspace:WaitForChild("start").Position local endPosition = workspace:WaitForChild("End").Position

#

the error is the last part (local endPosition = bla bla) @fleet slate

#

Make sure "workspace.End" exist

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 3:57 PM

#

it does

#

I've been on this for the past hour

#

it exists before i press play, when i press play it disappears

#

and am not destroying it or changing the parent at all, am literally only using the part for the position

#

and its not falling out of the world cuz its anchored

mellow star Mar 25, 2024, 3:59 PM

#

I would try seeing if getting the position after would help

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 3:59 PM

#

wym

mellow star Mar 25, 2024, 3:59 PM

#

After you wait for the part

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 3:59 PM

#

oh

#

lemme try

#

doesnt work

#

but ig it wont cuz the part doesnt exist when i hit play

#

it works fine for start position, but not end position?

#

???

mellow star Mar 25, 2024, 4:01 PM

#

What if u copy startPosition block and replace the endPosition

#

To make sure their exactly the same

#

Also what happens when you click "Run"

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:02 PM

#

am not clicking "run" and clicking play

mellow star Mar 25, 2024, 4:02 PM

#

Well if u click run does it dissapear

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:02 PM

#

but it does when i click play

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:03 PM

#

is there any other references to these parts in other scripts

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:03 PM

#

fleet slate is there any other references to these parts in other scripts

skip to the end dev product

#

all of a sudden when i buy the dev product everything starts working?

#

.

😨

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:05 PM

#

bro i want to fling my computer out the window rn, nothing makes sense

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:06 PM

#

I'm not sure i'm following. Indexing nil means it does not exist and has no parent, so something has to be wrong. If it's a local script wouldn't hurt to but a task.wait(2) at the top

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:06 PM

#

fleet slate I'm not sure i'm following. Indexing nil means it does not exist and has no pare...

k lemme try

#

it exists on the server and not the client

#

how does that even make sense

#

i didnt instance it

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:08 PM

#

a wild guess here, but if streaming enabled is on, and the parts are super far away from your spawn, then on the client those parts don't exist yet

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:08 PM

#

hm

#

i think thats the issue

#

cuz the end part is like 1300 studs away from spawn

#

how do i turn off streaming enabled

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:09 PM

#

try bringing it next to the spawn, test to see if it errors and if it does, click on workspace and turn streaming enabled off

#

i mean if it doesnt error*

mellow star Mar 25, 2024, 4:09 PM

#

I didn't think :WaitForChild() would throw an error if the part doesn't exist

#

At worst would warn "Infinite Yeild Possible"

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

I usually get an infinite yield warning as well ye

mellow star Mar 25, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

Yea

#

That's about all I've gotten

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

AH YES IT WORKS

#

I LOVE U MAN

#

TY TY

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

np glad it works

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

btw... whats streaming enabled?

mellow star Mar 25, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

Streaming Enabled is so dumb sometimes

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:11 PM

#

streaming enabled is dumb yeah, but it's for slower devices to load in places as they get closer

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:11 PM

#

so if i turn it off, is that a bad thing for my game?

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:11 PM

#

unless you have a super massive game with high poly count buildings/items, then no it'll be fine

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:12 PM

#

ok nice

mellow star Mar 25, 2024, 4:12 PM

#

^

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:12 PM

#

ty for yalls help

#

help*

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:12 PM

#

no problem

mellow star Mar 25, 2024, 4:12 PM

#

I learn more and more about Streaming Enabled from issues than anything else 😨

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:13 PM

#

btw

#

another question

#

how do i set a place other than the start place to public

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

is the other place an asset in the game?

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

u mean like apart of the game?

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

like you created it in asset manager

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

fleet slate like you created it in asset manager

yh

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:15 PM

#

well it will always be public as long as the main game is public, but you'll need to use teleportservice for players to enterit

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:15 PM

#

oh, when i try to teleport it says restricted access

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:15 PM

#

if you're trying in studio then it will throw that error

#

unless you tried on roblox

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:16 PM

#

fleet slate unless you tried on roblox

on roblox

#

`local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local SafeTeleport = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService").SafeTeleport)

telePart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local char = hit.Parent

    local placeId = 16868752131
    local players = {game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)}
    
    local server = TeleportService:ReserveServer(placeId)
    local options = Instance.new("TeleportOptions")
    options.ReservedServerAccessCode = server
    SafeTeleport(placeId,players,options)
    
    print("finished teleport")
    
    
end

end)
`

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:17 PM

#

the placeId is from your asset manager right?

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:17 PM

#

yh

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:17 PM

#

I haven't made a game in a minute, but let me check out one of mine that uses teleport

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:17 PM

#

mk

fleet slate Mar 25, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

well in my other places it looks like public is enabled as well in game settings

#

but i cant remember if i had to set that or not

shell monolith Mar 25, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

i made a change lemme test it rq'

#
