== Introduction ==
Teleportation, a script commonly requested, is a script that moves a player or model, as a whole, to another location, instantly. Teleportation is not high-level scripting -- just follow this simple tutorial to familiarize yourself.

== How Does It Work? ==

CFrame records where you are. The teleporters change your [[CFrame]], so that you can popup in another area. So, why can't it teleport all things? It has to have a weld. All of the parts need to be connected for you to be teleported. If not, you're not going to popup in one piece when you are teleported. Your [[character]] is all connected, so you teleport in one piece.

<b>Note:</b>If all [[RBX.lua.Part (Object)|parts]] are not connected, use :MoveTo(#,#,#) to move them, otherwise use CFrame.

== How Do I Do It? ==
Just define a new CFrame for the object. Let's say we want to move a player. Since the Torso is connected to all of a player's parts, we will change its CFrame, as follows:
game.Workspace.username.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0, 0, 0))

Just substitute your name for 'username' and fill in the coordinates.

== Other Uses ==
There are other uses for CFrames, too. You could send someone to a random location, by using the 'math.random()' function, e.g.,:
game.Workspace.username.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(math.random(-200, 200), 30, math.random(-200, 200)))
You could even teleport someone relative to their current location, like 50 studs up, for example.
<pre>
torso = game.Workspace.username.Torso
torso.CFrame = torso.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,50,0) -- note that I used Vector3.
</pre>

Here is a script you can copy and paste, that will teleport everyone on the map:
<pre>
p = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #p do
p[i].Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0, 0, 0))
wait(1) -- waits 1 second
end
</pre>

== Adding Effects ==
When you have mastered basic teleportation, you can start to experiment, and add special effects. For example:
<pre>
local me = game.Players.N2KC
local c = me.Character:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #c do
if c[i].className == "Part" then
for i = 1, 10 do
c[i].Reflectance = i / 10
c[i].Transparency = i / 10
wait(.1)
end
end
end

me.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(20, 10, 20))

for i = 1, #c do
if c[i].className == "Part" then
for i = 9, 0, -1 do
c[i].Reflectance = i / 1
c[i].Transparency = i / 1
wait(.1)
end
end
end
</pre>
Just change your the name in the first line to your name, and you will be teleported to the location noted in the middle of the script.
