Discord Webhook isn't working for players joining, what did I do wrong?

So, I'm trying to make a script so that when someone enters a team, it goes on discord and says the player's name "signed on". I don't get what is wrong with this script though, why is the if underlined in red?

01local url = "" -- Put the Webhook URL you copied in this!
02local player = game.Players.Name
03local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
04local HookData = {
05 if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Team == "Mobile Task Force" then
06['username'] = "SCPF Signing Bott", -- This is whatever you want the Bot to be called
07['content'] = player "Signed on!" -- this is whatever you want it to say!
08}
09HookData = http:JSONEncode(HookData)
10http:PostAsync(url, HookData) -- And we are done :D
11end

Keep in mind; this is the code itself, the person above me is correct. ROBLOX blocked discord APIs, so you need your own proxy.

line 2, you defined player wrong.

`1`	`local` `player` `=` `game.Players.Name` `-- the output will be "Players", re-check your script.`

The whole script's wrong; generally.

You should NOT use a LocalScript; instead, you should use a Script instead when you're working with webhooks. I'm assuming that you're using LocalScript due to line 05, when you did "game.Players.LocalPlayer". Just to clarify, that'd only work on LocalScripts.

line 05, why is that there? it should be outside the array.

line 07, that's not even a proper string. it should be

`1`	`player.Name..` `" signed on!"`

you need to learn how to use variables in strings.

^ in your case, you it should be // player.." signed on!" instead; IF you defined player properly on line 02.

line 09, don't use the same variable, you're confusing it. rename the other variable (in this case, I'm talking about "HookData" on line 09, var hookdata already exists on line 04) We can prevent this by maybe changing the name.

HookDatajson maybe?

line 10, again; you have TWO "HookData", it won't know which one to pick.

Here, I'll help you with your code.

01local url = "// webhook url"
02local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
03 
04game.Teams["Mobile Task Force"].PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) -- https://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Team/PlayerAdded, it checks whenever a player joined a team.
05 
06local HookData = {
07    ['username'] = "SCPF Signing Bot",
08    ['content'] = player.Name.." signed on!"
09}
10 
11local HookDatajson = http:JSONEncode(HookData)
12http:PostAsync(url, HookDatajson)
13end)

but, if you mix both of them together, you should get the idea. Astralyst 389 — 6y

I'm not a web pro so don't mind my lack of specific terms

Discord blocked requests (or whatever they're called) from Roblox due to a mass amount of stuff coming from it, you need to use a proxy server. example: https://github.com/sentanos/rdprxy

roblox blocked discord DeveloperSolo 370 — 6y
