How can I get a script to check a players role?

Asked 46 views1 answers
local sheriff   
local murderer
local innocent  = {}


local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
murderer = players[math.random(#players)].Name
sheriff = players[math.random(#players)].Name
for i,v in pairs(players) do 
    if v.Name ~= sheriff and v.Name ~= murderer then 
        table.insert(innocent, v.Name)
    end
end

print("MURDERER: "..murderer,"SHERIFF: "..sheriff, "INNOCENTS: "..table.concat(innocent,", "))

Ok so this picks a random player to be murder, etc you all know how the game works, and now I need another script to check if the player is murder, or whatever they are, so it can tell the player that they are whatever they are

If you're checking within the same script just say if plrVariable == muderer then. If you're checking from another script, I'd make a StringValue in each player called Role or something and set its value to whatever the player's role is.

I would do something like this-

Script 1:

local Players = Game:GetService("Players")

function PlayerJoined(plr)
	print(plr.Name .. " joined the server.")
	local role = Instance.new("StringValue")
	role.Name = "Role"
	role.Value = "default" -- you could replace default with whatever
	role.Parent = plr
end

for _, plr in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
	PlayerJoined(plr)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:connect(PlayerJoined)

Script 2:

if plrVariable.Role.Value == "murderer" then
	print(plrVariable.Name .. " is the murderer.")
end
