2 Functions possibly not working?

Asked 197 views2 answers

I am not sure what is exactly wrong with my kill script. I have tried many varitions of it though for some reason anything I do with FindFirstChild never works. I want it so that if your in the group and your rank 2 it allows you in but if not then it kills you.

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
    if Player:GetRankInGroup(2758901) == 2 then
        print("Good")
    else
       if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") >= true then
	hit.Parent.Torso:Remove()
end
    end
end)
end)

The console shows nothing and i am guessing that its my functions.

The playeradded event won't start running until after it's been touched, but for it to be touched by a character, a player already has to be present, right? You should use GetPlayerFromCharacter instead.

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then
		local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		if Player then
			if Player:GetRankInGroup(2758901) == 2 then
				print("Good")
			else
				hit.Parent.Torso:Remove() -- Moved the check for humanoid up.
			end
		end
	end
end)

Nice try, but you never define a player variable, nor check if it was a Player!

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	local p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if p then
		if p:GetRankInGroup(2758901) == 2 then
			print("Good")
		else
			p.Character:BreakJoints() -- Better way to kill
		end
	end
end)
