Kick script not working? Can someone please help?
What I'm looking for this script to do is allow the people in the "Allowed" table to join the server, but if they're not on the table, their game auto shuts down, but it seems to be kicking everyone, including the Allowed table. Anyone know what I did wrong?
It seems that adding more to the Allowed table breaks it, but I thought you could add more?
Allowed = {"Exbryst"}
game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(function(player)
for _,v in pairs (Allowed) do
if player.Name:lower() == v:lower() then
print("Allowed in.")
else
player:Kick()
end
end
end)

This will work, if there is only one player in the allowed list.
Consider there are two names, A, and B.
Your script will do something like this.
- A
-
- Is the player A?
-
- If so, print
- If not, KICK THEM
B
-
- Is this player B?
-
- If so, print
-
- If not, KICK THEM
What's the trouble?
What about player B? When they join, they aren't player A, and will be kicked.
We want them to match any one, not all of them.
Here's two (more or less equivalent) ways to do that:
Allowed = {"Exbryst"}
game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(function(player)
for _,v in pairs (Allowed) do
if player.Name:lower() == v:lower() then
print("Allowed in.")
return -- Flee before being kicked!
end
end
player:Kick() -- Wasn't found in the cool-kids list
end)
Allowed = {"Exbryst"}
game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(function(player)
coolKid = false -- So far, not a cool kid.
for _,v in pairs (Allowed) do
if player.Name:lower() == v:lower() then
print("Allowed in.")
coolKid = true -- We now know they're a cool-kid
end
end
if not coolKid then
player:Kick() -- Wasn't found in the cool-kids list
end
end)
Also, Tkdriverx is right, you should probably use PlayerAdded, though that also won't be necessary.
