BAE 2.0 custom command not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I am trying to make a custom command with the BAE 2.0 loader, but it isn’t working for some reason.
There is no output in studio, and nothing is happening. The script is a module script in ServerScriptService.

	return pluginName,pluginFunction,pluginLevel,pluginPrefix,{pluginName,pluginUsage,pluginDescription}
end

return Plugin

And this is the explorer:

Well, I think you may have to use the Basic Admin Main Module.
I tried using the MainModule script to make an Afk Command and It worked.

Just did, no difference though. Does anyone know how I can insert the main module? It’s in my inventory but doesn’t show up in toolbox.

Well, I used a Google chrome extension to download it.

TheFurryFish made a very sophisticated very easy to understand system for adding plugins.

When inserting Basic Admin Essentials 2.0 into your game, the main script (“Basic Admin Essentials 2.0”) should be inserted into the ServerScriptService service.

Under this there is a Folder instance called “Plugins”. Inserting the script you wrote into that Folder under it’s own designated Module should at least load your plugin.

Be sure to keep it nice and organized by giving it a name respective to it’s functionality.

Alternatively the “local Player = Args[1]” references to the sending player.

To properly supply the Plugin Handler with “victims” you should do something like this:

local function pluginFunction(Args)
	local Player = Args[1]
	if Args[3] then
		local Victims = returnPlayers(Player, Args[3]) if not Victims then return end
		
		for a, b in next, Victims do
			print(b.Name, b.UserId)
		end
	end
end

Unless in your instance you’re only trying to use the sending player. :slight_smile:

Edit: putting your code into a Module and inserting it into the Plugins folder gave me a working command. Changes I made to the script shouldn’t be significant to the outcome but I changed

local Player = Args[1]
if Args[1]
then

to

local Player = Args[1]
if Args[1] then

Oh oh oh! I overlooked something super out of the ordinary in your script too.

You’re trying to change the GUI inside of StarterGui.
This would only take effect if the GUI has ResetOnSpawn enabled and the user resets their character!

To give players a real-time update you should FireAllClients using a RemoteEvent and make the changes on the Client-side instead of the Server.

Mostly I use he main module script so I can add/remove commands.
But for him he will need to edit some stuff.
