I have no idea what i'm doing wrong but I am trying to make it so it doesn't destroy the gui if your name is in the admins table. How do I do this? Please use answers so I can reward you if your comment helped!
-----------Variables-----------
admins = {"MillerrIAm",""}
name = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
-----------Main Code-----------
if name == admins then
wait()
else
script.Parent:Destroy()
end
Thank you in advance!
Admins is a table, so your if statement will be always false. Use dictionary instead:
-----------Variables-----------
admins = {
["MillerrIAm"] = true,
["Sleazel"] = true, --just joking, remove that line :) But that is how you add more admins
}
name = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
-----------Main Code-----------
if admins[name] then
wait()
else
script.Parent:Destroy()
end
BTW, make sure you check for admin privileges on server as well, otherwise it is a disaster waiting to happen.
You need to loop through the table to check if any of the values match your players name, shown below.
admins = {"metalive"}
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
function checkWhitelist(playerName)
local whitelisted = false
for i,name in pairs(admins)do
if playerName == name then
whitelisted = true
end
end
return whitelisted
end
if checkWhitelist(player.Name) then
print("Whitelisted")
else
print("Player is not whitelisted")
end
If you want to remove the GUI before it's loaded for the player then it needs to be in a server script. If you want to remove the GUI when the player joins then:
admins = {"metalive"}
function checkWhitelist(playerName)
local whitelisted = false
for i,name in pairs(admins)do
if playerName == name then
whitelisted = true
end
end
return whitelisted
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
if checkWhitelist(player.Name) then
print("Whitelisted")
else
local Ss, err = pcall(function()
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local gui = playerGui:WaitForChild("gui")
gui:Destroy()
end)
if Ss then
print("Gui removed")
else
warn(err)
end
end
end)
your script did not work, i tried everything you said. it didn't work.
Working perfectly for me so you're doing something wrong on your end.
my guy, i did everything exactly as you said.. there's not much I can do for your stuff.

How would I do that?
I have a question for you, is there a way I can se this to make it into a server script where it cant be effected by exploiters?
