Is there a way to do the equivalent of GetRank/RoleInGroup without a player object? [answered]

I am creating a point system for management of the players and their ranks.

I want a player to be searched, then have their group data show up (rank id, the rank's name, etc.). The functions I mentioned in the title only work with player objects - is there anything else I could do?

Thank you!

EDIT:

I was looking through the wiki when I came across this service, and one particular function:

GetGroupsAsync(userId)

(link)

It returns an array of groups a player is in, and each entry has the following (relevant) information:

• Rank
• Role
• GroupId (for checking if it is the correct group)

Theres a method called game.Players:GetPlayerFromUserIdbut I dont know if that'll work when the player isnt there in the first place. Try it.

You could try the Roblox Web Api, but you need to have sufficient knowledge in how to grab the result you want

Good luck!
