Why is the boolean niling in the local player?

Asked by

local groupId = 5144614
local Admin = game.Players.LocalPlayer.importantplr.Admin

function added(player)


if game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetRankInGroup(groupId) <= 16 then
        game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("importantplr")
        game.Players.LocalPlayer.importantplr:WaitForChild("Admin")
        Admin.Value = true
    else
        Admin.Value = false
end

end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(added)

Its purpose is to change a value known as admin, which is a boolean that is used so my scripts can read it and then decide if the player should see somethings or not. It keeps niling. I dont understand why, thanks for the help.

Try maybe defining local player on line 01 as "local players = game:GetService("Players") ExHydraboy 30 — 4y

Then putting "local player = Players.LocalPlayer ExHydraboy 30 — 4y

@ExHydraboy nice try but there isn't really a difference between "game.Players" and "game:GetService("Players")" starmaq 1290 — 4y

I'd write your code like this...

I changed the function format(does the same thing) also changed your "local player" to player since the playeradded function will give you the player

local groupId = 5144614

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local Admin = player:WaitForChild(importantplr).Admin
    if player:GetRankInGroup(groupId) <= 16 then
        Admin.Value = true
    else
        Admin.Value = false
    end 
end)
