Check if specific group owns place

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey, I’ve been working on a product and now I want to make it so that this UI will only work if the owner of the place is the group [the buyer is a group]. How would I get around doing this?

Would I use placeinfo.creator.creatortype and if so, how could I identify what group?

Thank you!

Well first of all this post is in the wrong category, it should be in #help-and-feedback:scripting-support

You’d basically use :IsInGroup()

#3

(From the documentation):

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
 
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    if game.CreatorType == Enum.CreatorType.Group then
        if player:IsInGroup(game.CreatorId) then
            print("A member of the group that owns the place has joined the game!")
        end
    end
end)
#4

oh sorry is there any way to change that?

but i want to check if the game is actually owned by the group

#5

what i want to do, is check that the group owns the game. if it doesn’t then i want it to print something

so like,

does Something Studios own this game? if not, print something random

#6

Use the Array CreatorId
(30charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs)

#7

would it be possible to use game.CreatorID and put in the group id?

#8

so basically, you can use CreatorID and put the group’s id down??

wouldn’t that clash with a player’s id?

#9

I have solved it: I shall show you the script I have used.

local group = game:GetService("GroupService"):GetGroupInfoAsync(groupId)

local owner = group.Owner
local ownerName = owner.Name
local ownerUID = owner.Id

print(group.Name .. "'s owner name is " .. ownerName .. " and his UserId is " .. ownerUID)


if game.CreatorType == Enum.CreatorType.Group then
	local group2 = game:GetService("GroupService"):GetGroupInfoAsync(game.CreatorId)
	if group2.Name == "El Al." then
		print("this is allowed")
	else
		print("leaked?")
		for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetDescendants()) do
			if v.Name == "gateScreen" then
				v:Destroy()
				for i, nothalal in pairs(game.ServerScriptService:GetDescendants()) do
					if nothalal.Name == "chattedScript" then
						nothalal:Destroy()
					elseif notHalal.Name == "remotesHandler" then
						nothalal:Destroy()
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
else
	print("also maybe leaked")
	for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if v.Name == "gateScreen" then
			v:Destroy()
			for i, nothalal in pairs(game.ServerScriptService:GetDescendants()) do
				nothalal:Destroy()
			end
		end
	end
end

And that is what I used. Basically I got the information of the desired group and then compared it with the actual current owner of the place. If it was not a group that owned the place, the product was destroyed. If the group names didn;t match up, it was destroyed.

This works fine, however an easier way to do it with just the GroupID is this:

local groupId = 10169959 --Nediah
local group = game:GetService("GroupService"):GetGroupInfoAsync(groupId)


if group == 10169959 then
	print("Yes")
else
	game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:Kick("Do not steal assets.")
end

Hope this helped! ^^
