Teleporter

Teleporters are a Roblox feature added on July 22, 2011. They allow game creators to bring a player from one game to another without needing them to leave the game window. It is upgraded in the Experience update which also added Data stores. It can be found in Roblox's models here, free to use. The blog post can be found on the official Roblox news blog here. By default, the teleporter leads to Roblox's Build place.

How to Enable a Teleporter

To set a teleporter up, simply enter a solo place, insert the teleporter, and open the Workspace.

1. Open up the teleporter model and select the "placeID" value in Properties. Copy and paste the end of the link of the place you want to teleport to into the value. (For example, Crossroads' ID is 1818.)
2. Then copy and paste the spawn's name you want to teleport to into the "DestinationSpawnName" value.
3. Lastly, copy and paste the name of the spawn you just set up into the "TeleporterName" value found in the teleporter's spawn. (This however is optional, but more convenient if you want to teleport back easily.)
4. Then enter the teleporter in online mode and you will be asked if you want to be teleported. Select "Yes" and you will be sent to the desired place.

Trivia

This section is a trivia section. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections of the article.

• Teleporters are often used to continue places such as RPGs or obstacle courses to reduce lag or other inconveniences.
• Prior to its discontinuation, if the player was not a part of Builders Club, they would receive Error 733 upon attempting to teleport to a Builder's Club only place.
• Attempting to teleport to an inactive place causes Error 770 to appear.
• Attempting to teleport to a friends only place causes Error 773 to appear.
• Future updates of the teleporters may include a method to tell if the player has entered through a teleporter (to make it inaccessible without teleporters).
• A common type of deceptive advertising involves the usage of teleporters to immediately transport the user to another place that is usually unrelated upon joining. Often, advertisers will create fake copies of popular games which have the original game's title and thumbnail, but teleport to a different place.
• There was a bug where players would spawn as Guests upon entering a teleporter.
• In 2012, it was possible to teleport into a place using Roblox Studio, allowing a user to grief the place.
• Currently, attempting to view the teleporter model leads to a 404 error. This may imply the model is currently deleted.
  • The same happens to the blog post, where if the player tries to go to the blog post, they get sent to the corp.roblox.com homepage. This may also imply that the blog post was deleted, or the blog post is no longer available.
