How do I make a script that removes a ScreenGUI if not a certain rank?
I am trying to make a GUI that only certain members of a group can access. I have been testing my script and when I check the output I get no errors. I put the code in a Localscript so I do not know why it is not working. Any help would be appreciated, the script is below.
local Person = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Rank = Person:GetRankInGroup(3350111)
function onPlayerRespawned(newPerson)
if Person:IsInGroup(3350111) then
if Rank < 10 then
Person.PlayerGui.StatusControl:Destroy()
end
else
Person.PlayerGui.StatusControl:Destroy()
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerRespawned)

I've changed your code a bit. It's quite simple now. The comments explain what's happening.
We use the event CharacterAdded because of the player respawning. If they respawn, we still don't want the gui in it.
THE SCRIPT BELOW IS A SERVER SCRIPT AND NOT LOCAL PLACE IT IN SERVERSCRIPTSERVICE!
local groupId = 3350111 -- Get the group
function destroyGui(gui) -- Variable GUI
gui:Destroy() -- Destroy it
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p) -- When a new player is added to the game
local rank = p:GetRankInGroup(groupId) -- Gets rank
p.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char) -- When the player respawns
repeat wait() until char -- repeat trying to do the process until the character is spawned
if p:IsInGroup(groupId) then -- If the player is in the group
if rank < 10 then -- if the rank on that group is lower than 10 then
destroyGui(p:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):FindFirstChild("StatusControl")) -- Destroy the gui
end
else -- If player isn't in group then
destroyGui(p:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):FindFirstChild("StatusControl")) -- Destroy it anyways
end
end)
end)
If I helped, accept my answer :D
When they player's character spawns, everything from StarterGui is cloned into the player's PlayerGui. Attempting to check and remove upon joining isn't going to do anything because nothing is there yet :)
You don't even need a PlayerAdded event. If this is a localscript as a descendant of the ScreenGui you wish to destroy, the script is going to load everytime the character does.
You can simply do this:
local Person = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Rank = Person:GetRankInGroup(3350111)
if Rank < 10 then
script.Parent:Destroy() --Make sure path is correct
end
