[Answered] How can i give gear to a certain rank? [closed]

Asked by

I'm not all that great with lua so i have no idea what i'm doing but i want a certain rank to get gear and this is what i have. It doesn't seem to work and i have no idea why, I used this same method for Rank Colors.

GroupId = 1141758

UnrefinedRank = newPlayer:GetRankInGroup(GroupId)

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)

if UnrefinedRank = 254 then
     game.Lighting["Taser"]:Clone().Parent = newPlayer.StarterGear
end

if UnrefinedRank = 254 then
     game.Lighting["Baton"]:Clone().Parent = newPlayer.StarterGear
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

Try this!

GroupId = 1141758


game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:wait()
UnrefinedRank = player:GetRankInGroup(GroupId)
if UnrefinedRank >= 254 then
game.Lighting["Taser"]:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
game.Lighting["Baton"]:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
game.Lighting["Taser"]:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
game.Lighting["Baton"]:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
end
end)

Is your exact rank number 254, or is it higher? TopDev 0 — 9y

I'd like to suggest looking into the GetRoleInGroup method. It returns the *name* of the rank the player has, rather than its value. adark 5487 — 9y

Alright, so the first thing I noticed wrong is your syntax.

GroupId = 1141758

UnrefinedRank = newPlayer:GetRankInGroup(GroupId)

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)

if UnrefinedRank == 254 then --One equals sign just means that a value is getting assigned to the object or variable. Use two equals signs to check if it's the same as.
     game.Lighting["Taser"]:Clone().Parent = newPlayer.StarterGear
end

if UnrefinedRank == 254 then
     game.Lighting["Baton"]:Clone().Parent = newPlayer.StarterGear
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)
