so im trying to make a developer console for beta testing but I only want it to show up for specific people but the script won't change the visibility property at all, how do I fix this?
this is the script itself:
local whitelist = {"example1","example2",}
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.conactive.Visible = false
print ("working")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
if player.Name == whitelist then
end
end)
local whitelist = {"example1","example2",}
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.conactive.Visible = false
print ("working")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
local found_flag = false
for i,v in pairs(whitelist) do
if player.Name==v then
found_flag=true
end
end
if found_flag then
-- Make the visibility bool true
end
end)
best answer here... ignore the other ones.
cough StArTeRgUi good luck getting players guis from startergui. Its supposed to be PlayerGui. Mark a answer as answered so others will see the solution for their problem!
If you are trying to access the local player's GUI with a player variable, you should use:
player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.conactive.Visible = false
Trying to control the GUI listed in StarterGui won't do anything. The final script you are looking for is:
local whitelist = {"example1","example2",}
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.conactive.Visible = false
print ("working")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
if player.Name == whitelist then
-- Make the visibility bool true
end
end)
there's no way this works.... how can player.Name = a table of values?

removed my answer. hes not willing to learn anything
again you dident need to i was just confused
i would highly suggest making a serversided player detection using UserId and not the name of the player with it being local sided any simple exploiter could just make it visible themselves and without using UserId if the player ever changes their name then you have to change it too in the script
this is for my singleplayer games, i only have it do this so that the normal player doesent think its a feature and gets overwhelmed, plus its hard to find it if your not looking for it and honestly if an exploiter is going to devalue their experience than that is on them
