local teleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local placeId = 7722517
local instanceId = 8891240

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
teleportService:TeleportToPlaceInstance(placeId, instanceId, game.Players.LocalPlayer)
end)

when i click the button this message appears

Teleport failed. Insufficient privileges or target place does not exist.

Are you sure that specific instance is still running? If it isn't, it will return that error.

If you are just trying to teleport to a place and not a specific instance, use http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/TeleportService/Teleport instead

@Morash

That is incorrect, you don't subtract anything from a PlaceID when using TeleportService.

local teleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local placeId = 7722517

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
teleportService:Teleport(placeId, game.Players.LocalPlayer)

Is that placeid your place, and the instanceid the place you are trying to reach?

I think you are confused.

PlaceID = The place you are trying to reach
InstanceID = A specific instance (or server) of that place

@OP huner2 has got it right

Hopefully I can help you wrap your head around TeleportToPlaceInstance (and to be clear, it's not failing, you are)

Why would TeleportToPlaceInstance need to know what place you are already in? That is easily accessible information. Furthermore, why would you think that this has the same functionality of Teleport? (except it needs to know what placeid you're in unlike teleport?!)

Teleport-sends you to a place, opens a server if needed or places you in an existing one
TeleportToPlaceInstance-teleports you to a specified server of a place (hence instanceId is needed as well as placeId


Too long; can't read: Use Teleport.

If you're attempting to teleport to a place that is in a universe and it is not the lobby place, it won't work if you don't own that universe.
