Admin Commands for group

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I made this admin commands script and I was wondering how I can use group ranks to add admins. My script is below and the admins are represented by a table for now.

local Admins = {
	"bootsareme",
    "TestPlayer123"
}
local Prefix = "!"

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local Commands = {}

Commands.adminconsole = function(Sender, Arguments)
	game.ReplicatedStorage.OpenAdminConsole:FireClient(Sender)
end

local function IsAdmin(Player)
	for _,Admin in pairs (Admins) do
		if type(Admin) == "string" and string.lower(Admin) == string.lower(Player.Name) then
			return true
		elseif type(Admin) == "number" and Admin == Player.UserId then
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end

local function ParseMessage(Player,Message)
	Message = string.lower(Message)
	local PrefixMatch = string.match(Message,"^"..Prefix)
	
	if PrefixMatch then
		Message = string.gsub(Message,PrefixMatch,"",1)
		local Arguments = {}
		
		for Argument in string.gmatch(Message,"[^%s]+") do
			table.insert(Arguments,Argument)
		end
		
		local CommandName = Arguments[1]
		table.remove(Arguments,1)
		local CommandFunc = Commands[CommandName]
		
		if CommandFunc ~= nil then
			CommandFunc(Player,Arguments)
		end
	end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message,Recipient)
		if not Recipient and IsAdmin(Player) then
			ParseMessage(Player,Message)
		end
	end)
end)

I want to do something with table.insert(player.Name) but I am not aware of any API function that gets the player name from any group ranks. The only thing I am aware of is player:GetRankInGroup(12345). That is assuming that the player is active and in the server. I can try to do:

local Admins = {}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    if player:GetRankInGroup(12345) == 254 then
        table.insert(Admins, player.Name)
    end
end)

I am aware of this method but this is highly inefficient to implement due to other scripts. Is it possible to look at the metadata for a player and make a api call from groups.roblox.com? or is the above method the only way?

Try to use this.

local Admins = {
	"bootsareme",
    "TestPlayer123"
}
local Prefix = "!"

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local Commands = {}

Commands.adminconsole = function(Sender, Arguments)
	game.ReplicatedStorage.OpenAdminConsole:FireClient(Sender)
end

local function IsAdmin(Player)
	for _,Admin in pairs (Admins) do
		if type(Admin) == "string" and string.lower(Admin) == string.lower(Player.Name) then
			return true
		elseif Player:GetRankInGroup(12345) == 254 then -- Group ID and min rank.
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end

local function ParseMessage(Player,Message)
	Message = string.lower(Message)
	local PrefixMatch = string.match(Message,"^"..Prefix)
	
	if PrefixMatch then
		Message = string.gsub(Message,PrefixMatch,"",1)
		local Arguments = {}
		
		for Argument in string.gmatch(Message,"[^%s]+") do
			table.insert(Arguments,Argument)
		end
		
		local CommandName = Arguments[1]
		table.remove(Arguments,1)
		local CommandFunc = Commands[CommandName]
		
		if CommandFunc ~= nil then
			CommandFunc(Player,Arguments)
		end
	end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message,Recipient)
		if not Recipient and IsAdmin(Player) then
			ParseMessage(Player,Message)
		end
	end)
end)
