I have noticed that when a Guest is in my game the script awarding playerpoints will freeze because the GuestID has an id<=0 ....how can I resolve this? Do I add some exception for Guests somewhere? This should be built in by Roblox.
This is what my code looks like
local PointsService = game:GetService("PointsService")
local universeBalance = PointsService:GetGamePointBalance(randomplayer.userId)
PointsService:AwardPoints(randomplayer.userId, 10)
Using an if statement this an be accomplished in seconds.
if player.UserId>0 and player.AccountAge>0 then
local PointsService = game:GetService("PointsService")
local universeBalance = PointsService:GetGamePointBalance(player.userId)
PointsService:AwardPoints(randomplayer.userId, 10)
end
OR
local PointsService = game:GetService("PointsService")
local universeBalance = PointsService:GetGamePointBalance(player.userId)
if randomplayer.userId>0 and randomplayer.AccountAge>0 then
PointsService:AwardPoints(randomplayer.userId, 10)
end
AccountAge isn't really needed, since a Guest's ID is always a 0.
Encase roblox removes something or changes something.
You could do this to award points if the player is not a guest.
if Game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name:Sub(1,6) == "Guest" then
--Nothing
else
--Award Points
end
Hopefully this helped.

It's not bad to exclude the guest, since they can not keep their PlayerPoints. Just create a random number ABOVE 0, So code should look something like this, if randomplayer.userId > 0 then -- award code.
