I'm using IsInGroup() for my game, and it isn't exactly working. Can someone help me?
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
local id = 5150581
if game.Players.LocalPlayer:IsInGroup(id) then
game.Lighting:WaitForChild("Yoghurt").Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack
end
end)
PlayerAdded will not fire for the client that joins the game, but all other clients that join after.
You should be doing this in a server script instead. Here's some sample code:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local id = 5150581
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
-- server will get every player that joins
if player:IsInGroup(id) then
local tool = game.Lighting:WaitForChild("Yoghurt") -- i recommend you put these in ReplicatedStorage or ServerStorage, and NOT Lighting. Lighting is not meant for storage.
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
-- gives it to them every character spawn
tool:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
end)
end
end)
Oh, thanks!
Sometimes, while Roblox runs slow the function doesn't process the variable id try just inputting the ID, if neither works then ensure HTTP Requests & API Services are enabled and if still nothing works just wait it out a bit.
local id = 5150581--we can keep this variable outside since it wont update anyway
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()--wait for the character to load so it knows who to check on, this will update every time a new character gets added instead of a new player
if player:IsInGroup(id) then --and here u check if they are in the group since this will get checked after the character gets added
game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Yoghurt"):Clone().Parent = player:WaitForChild("Backpack") --if u dont clone it then it will only work once because ur not creating a duplicate, also the backpack gets deleted every time the player dies and recreated so wait for the backpack to be created too
end
end)
end)
forgot to mention, make it a server script or it wont really work properly and this is also exploit proof

There is no error by the way.
It just doesn't work, HTTP requests and API Services are both on.
Local script or a server script?
its a server script since the first line is playeradded function, local scripts dont have that really since they are created for the player
