If player joined who is on whitelist, then kick?

Asked 3,131 views2 answers

So, I have a script that is meant to function when a Player is added. Once fired, it checks if that player's name equals one of the values inside of a folder inside of the script. If it matches, it then kicks the player and displays a custom message, but it doesn't function, and I can't find out why.

local WhiteList = script.Folder:GetChildren()
local Defined = script.Folder.Defined.Value
local Player = game.Players.PlayerAdded
local A = script.Folder("1").Value
local B = script.Folder("2").Value
local C = script.Folder("3").Value
local D = script.Folder("4").Value
local E = script.Folder("5").Value
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function()
	if Player == Defined then
	game.Players(Player):Kick("Go away, you have no friends...")
	print("Player Attempted to join!")
	elseif Player.Name == A or B or C or D or E then
	game.Players(Player):Kick("Bai!")
	end
end)

For help, here is the model: http://www.roblox.com/THIS-IS-SPARTA-item?id=339927939

Now, I am going to completely redesign your script, the first being an improvement of your one, and the second being a new (but much more efficient) way to do it.

Redesign #1:

local whitelist = script.Folder:GetChildren()

function WhiteListCheck(p)
	for _,v in pairs (whitelist) do
		if v.Value == p.Name then
			return true
		end
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p)
	local banned = WhiteListCheck(p)
	if banned == true then
		p:Kick("You are banned from this game")
	end
end)

This code cycles through all of the the children of whitelist, checking to see if their value is the Player's name. If it is, it returns true, and the PlayerAdded function kicks them.

Redesign #2

local whitelist = {
	["PlayerName"] = true,
	["PlayerName"] = true
}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p)
	if whitelist[p.Name] then
		p:Kick("You are banned from this game")
	end
end)

This code just checks to see if the player is in the table, and if they are, they get kicked.

local WhiteList = script.Folder:GetChildren()
local Defined = script.Folder.Defined.Value
local Player = game.Players.PlayerAdded
local A = script.Folder("1").Value
local B = script.Folder("2").Value
local C = script.Folder("3").Value
local D = script.Folder("4").Value
local E = script.Folder("5").Value
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function()
    if Player.Name == Defined then -- Try Player.Name
    game.Players(Player):Kick("Go away, you have no friends...") -- lol 
    print("Player Attempted to join!")
    elseif Player.Name == A or B or C or D or E then
    game.Players(Player):Kick("Bai!")
    end
end)

Now i may be totally wrong because im tired asf but, Try it . . .
