Im trying to make a admin panel
The child added and removed function are not working
I have put prints trying to detect when a child is added, removed and if that child is a player
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local gui = script.Parent
local Map = gui:WaitForChild("Map")
local Dashboard = gui:WaitForChild("Dashboard")
local Selection = gui:WaitForChild("SelectionArea")
local Players_Panel = gui:WaitForChild("Players")
local OpenMap = Selection:WaitForChild("OpenMap")
local OpenDashboard = Selection:WaitForChild("OpenDashboard")
local OpenPlayers = Selection:WaitForChild("OpenPlayers")
local Image = "https://www.roblox.com/bust-thumbnail/image?userId="..Player.UserId.."&width=420&height=420&format=png"
OpenMap.Activated:Connect(function()
Map.Visible = true
Dashboard.Visible = false
Players_Panel.Visible = false
end)
OpenDashboard.Activated:Connect(function()
Map.Visible = false
Dashboard.Visible = true
Players_Panel.Visible = false
end)
OpenPlayers.Activated:Connect(function()
Map.Visible = false
Dashboard.Visible = false
Players_Panel.Visible = true
end)
Map:WaitForChild("ResetMap").Activated:Connect(function()
RS:WaitForChild("ResetMap"):FireServer()
end)
Map:WaitForChild("RemoveDebris").Activated:Connect(function()
RS:WaitForChild("CleanUp"):FireServer()
end)
Map:WaitForChild("SillyButton").Activated:Connect(function()
RS:WaitForChild("Nuke"):FireServer()
end)
Dashboard:WaitForChild("DisplayName").Text = Player.DisplayName
Dashboard:WaitForChild("Username").Text = "@" .. Player.Name
Dashboard:WaitForChild("ProfileImage").Image = Image
Dashboard:WaitForChild("JobId").Text = "Server Id: " .. tostring(game.JobId)
Dashboard:WaitForChild("ServerUptime").Text = "Server Uptime: " .. math.round(time())
task.spawn(function()
while task.wait(1) do
Dashboard:WaitForChild("ServerUptime").Text = "Server Uptime: " .. math.round(time()) .. " seconds"
end
end)
function add(plr: Player)
print("added")
local new = Players_Panel:WaitForChild("Template"):Clone()
new.Parent = Players_Panel:WaitForChild("ScrollingFrame")
new.Name = plr.Name
new.Visible = true
new:WaitForChild("Username").Text = plr.Name
end
function remove(plr: Player)
if Players_Panel:FindFirstChild(plr.Name) then
print("removed")
Players_Panel:WaitForChild(plr.Name):Destroy()
else
warn("couldn't find")
end
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
print("player added")
add(plr)
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
print("player removed")
remove(plr)

just use Players.PlayerAdded and game.Players.PlayerRemoving
I’ve already tried using those and they didn’t work
What do you mean by not working? Are the functions not firing? or are no children being added?
Children are being added, but the child added event itself is not firing, neither is player added
I think that the only child that will be added to the “players” service
Players. -- this one
will be players, so you should you probobaly just do
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(Function(plr)
--then inside here you do whatever you want
end)
the functions may not fire because Im not sure players service was made for that! player added is a great alternative.
wait I think I see the problem.
was this made in a local script?
Yes it was made in a local script
there’s the problem! child added does not work on local scripts.
I have changed the script to have PlayerAdded but that doesn’t work, PlayerRemoving is working though
this may happen because if you change it to player added, your asking (if statement) if the thing that joined is a player when you already know it is. So when a player is added, simply run the
add(child)
function!
Heres the new script
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local gui = script.Parent
local Map = gui:WaitForChild("Map")
local Dashboard = gui:WaitForChild("Dashboard")
local Selection = gui:WaitForChild("SelectionArea")
local Players_Panel = gui:WaitForChild("Players")
local OpenMap = Selection:WaitForChild("OpenMap")
local OpenDashboard = Selection:WaitForChild("OpenDashboard")
local OpenPlayers = Selection:WaitForChild("OpenPlayers")
local Image = "https://www.roblox.com/bust-thumbnail/image?userId="..Player.UserId.."&width=420&height=420&format=png"
OpenMap.Activated:Connect(function()
Map.Visible = true
Dashboard.Visible = false
Players_Panel.Visible = false
end)
OpenDashboard.Activated:Connect(function()
Map.Visible = false
Dashboard.Visible = true
Players_Panel.Visible = false
end)
OpenPlayers.Activated:Connect(function()
Map.Visible = false
Dashboard.Visible = false
Players_Panel.Visible = true
end)
Map:WaitForChild("ResetMap").Activated:Connect(function()
RS:WaitForChild("ResetMap"):FireServer()
end)
Map:WaitForChild("RemoveDebris").Activated:Connect(function()
RS:WaitForChild("CleanUp"):FireServer()
end)
Map:WaitForChild("SillyButton").Activated:Connect(function()
RS:WaitForChild("Nuke"):FireServer()
end)
Dashboard:WaitForChild("DisplayName").Text = Player.DisplayName
Dashboard:WaitForChild("Username").Text = "@" .. Player.Name
Dashboard:WaitForChild("ProfileImage").Image = Image
Dashboard:WaitForChild("JobId").Text = "Server Id: " .. tostring(game.JobId)
Dashboard:WaitForChild("ServerUptime").Text = "Server Uptime: " .. math.round(time())
task.spawn(function()
while task.wait(1) do
Dashboard:WaitForChild("ServerUptime").Text = "Server Uptime: " .. math.round(time()) .. " seconds"
end
end)
function add(plr: Player)
print("added")
local new = Players_Panel:WaitForChild("Template"):Clone()
new.Parent = Players_Panel:WaitForChild("ScrollingFrame")
new.Name = plr.Name
new.Visible = true
new:WaitForChild("Username").Text = plr.Name
end
function remove(plr: Player)
if Players_Panel:FindFirstChild(plr.Name) then
print("removed")
Players_Panel:WaitForChild(plr.Name):Destroy()
else
warn("couldn't find")
end
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
print("player added")
add(plr)
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
print("player removed")
remove(plr)
end)
When you run the game, does it print “player added”?
No it does not print player added when run
okay, and is there any error in the output?
No there is no error in output
You can use PlayerAdded in a localscript, but it wont detect your player joining because you join before the localscript executes, though for your usecase I don’t think you need to use any events.
If you want access to UserInputService, I think making a localscript in StarterCharacterScripts is enough, and for giving a tool/gui on Character spawn, what you can do in a regular script is when a player is added, clone the tool into their StarterGear and their Backpack, and the gui into their Playe…
This may be the problem. Otherwise im not really sure, try testing in the roblox app. I wish you luck!
