I'm trying to make a script where the player says :open to open the door, but I'm getting the error "h6rmless is not a valid member of Players."
Here is the script:
local Admins = {"h6rmless"}
local Prefix = ":"
for i,v in pairs(Admins) do
game.Players(Admins[i]).Chatted:connect(function(msg)
if msg:lower() == Prefix.. "open" then
game.Workspace.Door.CanCollide = false
end
end)
end
It is not a valid member of players because 'h6rmless' may not exist in Players. You need to check if the player is an admin inside the PlayerAdded or Chatted event, not outside of it.
local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
--Set admins table as a dictionary.
local Admins = {["h6rmless"] = true}
local Prefix = ":"
PlayerService.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
--Check if the chatter is an admin.
if Admins[player.Name] == true then
--Check for the message chatted, do everything else here.
if msg:lower() == Prefix.."open" then
workspace.Door.CanCollide = false
end
end
end)
end)
or you can do this:
PlayerService.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
if Admins[player.Name] == true then
player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
if msg:lower() == Prefix.."open" then
workspace.Door.CanCollide = false
end
end)
end
end)
Thank you SO much! This really helps me a lot. Thanks so much for helping me with this.

im gusseing the problem is coming from line 05, and its probarly not working since "h6rmless" isnt a child of Players yet, youre searching for a player named "h6rmless" and i guess he doesnt exist
You're calling Players as if it were a function, use [Admins[i]] for whenever you need to search for a specific part. This isn't good practice to set a .Chatted event for a player that may or may not be in the game. Instead, set a .Chatted event for every player that joins the game, or, set a .Chatted event for every admin that joins the game.
