How can I make a script usable by a specific person?
I am making a game that has powers and such, and I made a custom power. I don't want other people to use my custom power, so how do I make it so that I can only use it?

I personally prefer this method as it is much simpler.
01 | local hasPower = { |
02 | ["gitrog"] = true, |
03 | ["spartanlord456"] = true --add as many names as you need |
04 | } |
05 |
06 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
07 | player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character) |
08 | if hasPower[player.Name] then |
09 | --power script here |
10 | end |
11 | end) |
12 | end) |
You can use game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function() to check if the player is a certain player.
Add a Server Script into **ServerScriptService** and then type in this code;
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) -- fires when player join the game |
02 |
03 | local PlayerRole = Instance.new('Folder') -- Holds the roles |
04 | PlayerRole.Parent = plr |
05 | PlayerRole.Name = 'PlayerRole' |
06 | wait() -- wait's for player to load in |
07 | local AdminRole = Instance.new('BoolValue') -- a bool value |
08 | AdminRole.Parent = PlayerRole -- goes inside player |
09 | AdminRole.Name = 'AdminRole' |
10 | AdminRole.Value = false -- no admin |
11 |
12 | if plr.Name == "Your username" then |
13 | AdminRole.Value = true |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
and then in your script that gives superpowers just do something like this;
1 | if AdminRole.Value == true then |
2 | -- gives player power |
3 | end |
This is an easy way.
You can always check a players name.
When I am trying to check to see if there is a certain player in the game I like to use this method.
01 | local p = {'PlayerName', 'player'} -- remove the {'s and the extra "player" then it will be a singular person |
02 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
03 | if plr.Name = p then |
04 |
05 |
06 | -- code here |
07 |
08 |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
But of course, Its not very efficient, plenty of methods that are better then that such as.
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
2 | if plr.Name == 'PlayerName'then |
3 |
4 | -- code here |
5 |
6 | end |
7 | end) |
But I prefer my way, :)
Anyways hope this helps.
