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

Asked Jul 20, 2014311 views2 answers

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?

Okay, try the updated script.

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

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)
