Find out if an offline player is in a group or not?
Hi, I'm making an EXP database, and want to find out wether or not the searched player in the database is in my main group or not, and what it's rank is. I use data stores in the script.
-- Enable Check
local DSService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local PlayerDataStorage = DSService:GetDataStore("vpqARwiBjdvaStxoZmCxUxxd")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
ScanName = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text
script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text = "Name Here"
script.Parent.Parent.Loading.Visible = true
local PlayerDataSave = ScanName.."vpqARwiBjdvaStxoZmCxUxxdPlayerSave:"
PlayerEXP = PlayerDataStorage:GetAsync(PlayerDataSave.."EXP")
local PlayerCOMMENT = PlayerDataStorage:GetAsync(PlayerDataSave.."OFC")
PlayerID = PlayerDataStorage:GetAsync(PlayerDataSave.."ID")
if PlayerEXP then
script.Parent.Parent.Loading.Text = "Data found. Viewing..."
wait(1)
ViewData()
script.Parent.Parent.Loading.Visible = false
script.Parent.Parent.Loading.Text = "Loading..."
else
script.Parent.Parent.Loading.Text = "Data not found. Aborting..."
wait(1)
script.Parent.Parent.Loading.Visible = false
script.Parent.Parent.Loading.Text = "Loading..."
end
end)
function ViewData()
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.DataView.PlayerName.Text = "Player Name: "..ScanName
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.DataView.PlayerEXP.Text = "EXP: "..PlayerEXP
local HTTPID = "http://api.roblox.com/users/"..PlayerID
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.DataView.PlayerRankAI.Text = "Rank: "..HTTPID:GetRoleInGroup(2842013)
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.DataView.PlayerId.Text = ("UserId: "..PlayerID)
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.DataView.Visible = true
end
At line 33 and 34 I tried the "http://api.roblox.com/users/"..PlayerID" way, however, it did not work, neither did putting the player ID in directly.
Is there anyway I can find out a players rank in a group without the player being online? Aswell if the player is in a group?

ROBLOX Web Api's can help with interacting with a user who is Offline.
You can find them here: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Web_APIs
Basically, to find out if a player is in a group or not, you can use the following code:
local HS = game:GetService("HttpService")
local playerid = 10 -- Change this to the userId of the Player your looking at
local groupid = 1 -- Change this to the groupId of the group you want to search
if (HS:GetAsync("https://www.roblox.com/Game/LuaWebService/HandleSocialRequest.ashx?method=IsInGroup&playerid=" .. playerid .. "&groupid=" .. groupid)) then
-- player is in the group
else
-- player is not in the group
end
You can do the same with RankId or RoleName
Hope this helps.
Other Scripters, If I have got the above wrong, please tell me.
