Is there anyway to detect whether a player is online?
Is there any way to detect whether a player is online? I have search a lot trying to find anything about anything. I have found a few things but they don't work, and or don't do what I want.
I have found a few things like https://api.roblox.com/users/USERID/onlinestatus/ but the page doesn't exist anymore.
I know some scripting but I don't even know where to start with this, all I have for a slight idea is
01 | [ |
02 | { |
03 | "Id": 12345678, |
04 | "Username": "user", |
05 | "AvatarUri": "", |
06 | "AvatarFinal": true, |
07 | "IsOnline": true |
08 | } |
09 | ] |
10 |
11 | { |
12 | "Id": 12345678, |
13 | "Username": "user name" |
14 | } |
But it returns with errors and such. And I get something working, is there any way to make it perform a function? like delete or make a part or model.

there was a question like this WAY backin 2014 when roblox didnt have good security and stored the data of your player on a website(but this api is probaly destoryed) you can try this but it might not work.
01 | local http = game:GetService("HttpService") |
02 |
03 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
04 | plr.Chatted:connect(function(msg) |
05 | if msg:lower():sub(1,7) == "status/" then |
06 | local id = tonumber(msg:sub(8)) --Get the ID after the "/" in "status/" |
07 | if id ~= nil then --If the ID doesn't return nil after being converted to a number then continue. |
08 | local status = http:GetAsync("http://apiroblox.netne.net/GetUserStatus.php?id="..id) --Get online status of the player from the ID. |
09 | local m = Instance.new("Message", game.Workspace) |
10 | m.Text = "Status of player ID "..id..": "..tostring(status) |
11 | end--if theres any error delete this end |
12 | end |
13 | end) |
14 | end) |
if that doesnt work you can only see the status of your friends.
1 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
2 | local player = Players.LocalPlayer |
3 | local onlineFriends = player:GetFriendsOnline(200)--max players |
4 | for i, friend in pairs(onlineFriends) do |
5 | print(friend.UserName) |
6 | end |
sorry, thats the best i can do.

Now, i'm not the greatest but you could use the :WaitForChild method, take my answer lightly though.
