Group automatic promotion?

Asked by

9 years ago

So basically I was laying down in my bed and I had a wonderful idea! I own a group and its hard to keep up with my points system manually so I thought what if I was able to have a system where if a player got a certain amount of in-game points (awarded by trainers) then he would be auto-promoted now I know how to do the data stores for keeping the points but I have no idea how to have the promotion part! Please tell me what type of services I would even have to use for that thank you.

As of now, There is no way to automatically promote someone, Although it has been mentioned in various topics, see below:

http://roblox.uservoice.com/forums/158291-roblox-features/suggestions/2204123-automatic-group-promotion-demotion

BUT

There is a way you can, potentially do this. Like with the SH group, Once you reach a certain reputation on here, you will automatically get promoted. Not quite sure on how it works but it has to do with some html5, Not RBX.lua, If you were to want to figure it out, ask Kenetec. Or, if you want to learn some html5 I'd suggest youtube.

Although I don't know how it works, Here's a theory,

The SH bot is never online, So we can assume that it only fired once a player has earned enough rep,

Now using some sort of script/code from the scriptinghelpers site, it logs onto that account, ranks the player then exits. So with this knowledge, what is a possible idea is, Intervies!, So let me explain, you could have a site that would be about submitting an interview and if you get a certain number correct then it fires that bot.

Another potentially working idea

You mentioned that there was a gui that did that, Yes. It's possible. You could use some sort HTTP service via RBX.lua that logs in and ranks a player, although that might be risky and I don't recommended it

Link to http service wiki: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=HttpService_for_Dummies

of course, these are just my opinions/ideas but it'd be really cool to see some sort of system implemented into Roblox. I'd think groups would have a lot easier time managing things.

Okay well if it cant be fully automatic ive been to a place where there is a GUI to promote can you tell me what services that would most likely use? And also thanks for the awnser. CybeTech 37 — 9y

Aha! that brings up a very valid idea, Let me edit my post [x2] NotSoNorm 777 — 9y

Thank you! I will do some research on the HTTP Service although what exactly do you mean it can be risky? CybeTech 37 — 9y

Well including a password into any script can be risky, A way out of this would be to hide it in a private module: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Private_Modules NotSoNorm 777 — 9y

I know this is an old question but I wanted to answer it anyways. It does not have to do with html but rather php and hosting your own server. https://github.com/FroastJ/roblox-bots
