Difference Between == and >=

So, I have a script that gives tools to certain ranks. Although, if you are ABOVE that rank, it gives you the tool anyway. I only want certain ranks given a certain tool.

local tool = game.ServerStorage['[SCP] Card-L1']
function onPlayerSpawned(player)
	if player:IsIngroup(groupId) then 
		tool:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
  player.CharacterAdded:connect(function()
    onPlayerSpawned(player)
  end)
end)

function onPlayerSpawned(player)
  if player:GetRankInGroup(groupId) == 4 then
    tool:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
  end
end

So, the == 4 part does not work. Basically, I want to give the tool to just 4, not anything higher. I made it >= and it worked, but it gave all tools to the higher ranks. Can anybody help?

Given your information it seems like 4 is not the right value for the rank you are referring to.

#3

It is. I want the tool given to the 4th rank.

#4

Can you double check on your group if there exists a role with the 4th rank, also test it in the actual game and not in studio.

#5

I have many scripts like this, I have the 4th, 5th, 6th, ect. None of them give the tools. I’ve been testing in game this whole time.

#6

can you debug to see if the event is fired.

function onPlayerSpawned(player)
  if player:GetRankInGroup(groupId) == 4 then
    print("Check")
     tool:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
  end
end

(Just to double check that the event is firing)

The roles in a group are assigned numbers between 1 and 255, with 255 being the owner and 0 being a non-member. Rank does not mean the number by which they are listed on the web page.

You can check the rank on the Configure Group page:

I understand. I just have it by number order.

Another possibility: The account you’re testing with doesn’t have the role with the 4th rank,

Check if your rank is 4.

Nope, it doesn’t have that.{30 chars}

Are you trying to give the tool to the 4th rank starting at the bottom or top?

Your code should work if you put the right rank.

The operator ==, in English, means “is it equal to.”
The operator >= means “is it greater than OR equal to.”

#13

Okay, like most others have said it is most likely there is no 4 rank in your group.
As an alternative you can use the GetRoleInGroup() function and instead of having the # you can say if player:GetRoleInGroup(groupid) == "ROLE NAME" then...

Is this a localscript or serverscript?

#15

It should be a serverscript, because with a local script you can just do

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

While in a serverscript you have to do

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    --code
end)
