Update function not working?
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local stats = player:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
local rank = stats:findFirstChild("Rank")
function Update()
rank.Value = player:GetRoleInGroup(964666)
while true do wait(5)
Update()
end
end
end)
It is supposed to update a player's rank when a player joins the server every 5 seconds. "Rank" is a StringValue in leaderstats.
I am not entirely sure what the problem is.

Very hard to understand what you mean, are you trying to change his rank whenever his rank in the group changes? disassembling 48 — 8y

TIP: format your code better, E.G:
eventName:connect(function()
if blah then
function ye()
-- code
end
end
end)
The problem is that you cannot fire a function inside the same function, change your code to this:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local stats = player:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
local rank = stats:findFirstChild("Rank")
function Update()
rank.Value = player:GetRoleInGroup(964666)
end
while true do wait(5)
Update()
end
end)
EDIT:
It does not wait for stats to exist, so add a new line under Line 1:
repeat wait() until player.leaderstats
Hope I helped :)
