Teleporting but also effects the Y

Questions

(Ill use the runner example because some collision issues in my project) so if you one of the people that helped me with the teleportation thingy I need help again when Im “telporting” the X and Y change but I want only the X to change here recording:

the project is this(https://www.defold.com/tutorials/runner/)
full code for the hero: https://pastebin.com/A7ryfJ7E
and here the code:

function update(self, dt)
	local gravity = vmath.vector3(0, gravity, 0)

	if not self.ground_contact then
		self.velocity = self.velocity + gravity
	end
	
	-- apply it to the player character
	go.set_position(go.get_position() + self.velocity * dt)

	update_animation(self)
	
	-- reset volatile state
	self.correction = vmath.vector3()
	self.ground_contact = false	

	if self.teleport == true then
		self.position = vmath.vector3(100, self.position.y, self.position.z)
		go.set_position(self.position)
	end
	self.teleport = false
end
function on_input(self, action_id, action)
	if action_id == hash("jump")then
		jump(self)
	elseif action_id == hash("teleport") then
		print("teleported")
		self.teleport = true
	end
end

This line here:

self.position = vmath.vector3(100, self.position.y, self.position.z)

It looks like you don’t update self.position in the update function before this. You need to update this so that the Y position is the same as the character this frame.
