I've been messing around with teleporting lately, and I question popped into my mind:

When you teleport, does the game remove your character from it's current position, or does it move it so fast that no one can see it? I know this is a stupid question, but it's kind of bugging me.

Thanks. :)

Your character is removed.

It's basically exiting the current game you're in, but then loading the new game you are "teleporting" to right after that.

No, it only moves your character (I think..).

It removes both your character and your client from that game and moves it to another.

Ah, well it depends on how it works.

If it uses CFrame, then you are literally instantly moved from 1 position to the next.

If it uses the MoveTo method, things get weird. To you, it looks like you instantly move. To others though, it kinda looks like your character flies to the spot. It's weird. It will move you to any place (even if objects are in the path) so it seems like direct movement, but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks.

The reason I asked is I'm wondering if I could create a 'barrier' that catches you in mid teleportation. It's almost certainly impossible, but it's fun to think about. :P

A barrier to catch a MoveTo command?
I don't think so. Maybe with some really advanced scripting it MAY be possible, but I don't know how to do it.
You can detect the character getting moved unreasonably, but not MoveTo
