Player Rank TextLable issues?
I've recently asked a question on how to change a TextLable to a players rank in a group. It simply wont work the way I found so I am asking again.
1 | TextLable = Ranking |
2 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
3 | Ranking.Text("Rank - " .. player:GetRoleInGroup(0)) |
4 | end) |
Can someone help me? This as basic as I can get.

You have to put the actual group id, not 0. cabbler 1942 — 8y

I'm confused as to whether you are just trying to set your rank or everyone who joins. If you're just setting your rank then it'd be something like this:
1 | local textLabel = script.Parent:WaitForChild('TextLabel') |
2 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
3 | textLabel.Text = player:GetRoleInGroup(919349) |
If you're trying to set it for everything, (then you'd need to use ChildAdded as PlayerAdded doesn't work in LocalScripts) - edit. I guess PlayerAdded works in LocalScripts now. It'd be something like this, but with your script so that it doesn't change the same TextLabel, but makes a new one and sets it.
01 | local textLabel = script.Parent:WaitForChild('TextLabel') |
02 |
03 | local function setText(player) |
04 | textLabel.Text = player:GetRoleInGroup(919349) |
05 | end |
06 |
07 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
08 | setText(player) |
09 | end) |
10 |
11 | -- Will catch your player and everyone whom joined before the script ran. |
12 | for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do |
13 | setText(v) |
14 | end |

- If TextLable is exactly equal to ranking then you can use Ranking. 2. PlayerAdded will not fire unless another player joins. Your code is not running. 3. If Ranking is a TextLabel then Text is a property, not a function. That's not correct syntax anyway.
1 | function display(player) |
2 | Ranking.Text = "Rank - " .. player:GetRoleInGroup( ID ) |
3 | end |
4 |
5 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(display) |
6 |
7 | display(game.Players.LocalPlayer) |
