{SOLVED}I know the method IsInGroup, but I don't know how to disclaim it??

Well it be like IsNotInGroup? Or is there even a way to disclaim it?{SOLVED}

What do you mean by "disclaim"? BlueTaslem 18071 — 9y

I mean... I want the script to check if the player IS NOT in a group, instead of checking if he/she IS in a group. kudorey619 138 — 9y

The unary logical operator not inverts a boolean statement.

That is, not true is false and not false is true.

IsInGroup returns a boolean, so not will work as expected with it, e.g.,

notinagroup = not player:IsInGroup(someGroupId)

Otherwise, in a clearer way, if ... else constructs can act depending on the truthy-ness of a statement:

if player:IsInGroup(someGroupId) then
    -- What to do if in group
else
    -- What to do if NOT in group
end
