Match string from data store?
Hi I am trying to get a string that has been stored and when a part is touched it checks if the string matches. when i touch the part nothing happens, what am i doing wrong?
01 | function OnTouched(Part) |
02 | local str = "" |
03 | local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Part.Parent) |
04 | if player then |
05 | local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") |
06 | if leaderstats then |
07 | str = leaderstats.Rank.Value |
08 | if string.match(str, "Rec") then |
09 | print("Works") |
10 | else |
11 | print("doesnt work") |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | end |

Also did you add a Part.Touched:Connect(OnTouched) at the end? OhManXDXD 445 — 4y

Sorry, I saw the question wrong. Try first defining str as just leaderstats.Rank, then finding the value when using string.match
01 | function OnTouched(Part) |
02 | local str = "" |
03 | local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Part.Parent) |
04 | if player then |
05 | local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") |
06 | if leaderstats then |
07 | str = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Rank") -- Waits for the rank to load |
08 | if string.match(str.Value, "Rec") then |
09 | print("Works") |
10 | else |
11 | print("doesnt work") |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | end |
