Why is this if statement triggering and how do I fix it?
Ok so I need the gui to only be activated if the players name is Plieax but when I play my game on another account the if statement still runs allowing the non-admin player admin abilities. How do I fix this?
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect (function(plr)
if plr.Name == "Plieax" or "" or "" then -- Put Names Of Admins Between The ""s --
plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild "OpenAdmin".Enabled = true
end
end)

It would help if you used a table to save the admins names and used a function to check and see if they are a admin. Here is an example:
local adminList = {"Plieax", "Bob", "Joe"} -- names are examples
function checkIfPlayerIsAdmin(player) -- will equal false if the player is not an admin
for i,v in pairs(adminList) do
if v == player.Name then
return true
end
end
return false
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
if checkIfPlayerIsAdmin(player) then
-- Put your code in here
end
end)

You messed up on line 7, just because the first name out of the table and the player don't match doesn't mean the 2nd name and the p^layer won't match! User#20388 0 — 6y

remove the 'else return false' and on the end of the for i,v in pairs add return false, if it didn't return yet, it would return false, if it did, it would return true User#20388 0 — 6y

You're right I messed up. This is a script I wrote a while back and I forgot the order it went in let me fix it. User#21908 42 — 6y

he's actually right though, no one is ever going to have no name, this does exactly what you want it to do 4PlayerGamingRoblox 38 — 6y
