Elseif statement not working?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I am currently working on a door for prison game where if you are a cop it opens up but if you are a prisoner or criminal it makes a doorknob sound.

For some reason, when I use the door as a prisoner it opens up and the same thing happens as a cop.

I’ve looked at some discussions on scripting helpers and some on here but it still hasn’t solved my problem.

Here is the code:

local cd = script.Parent
local door = cd.Parent.Parent.Door

local function onClick(player)
	if player.Team == game:GetService("Teams").Prisoner then
		workspace.Sounds.doorknob:Play()
		print("they are a prisoner or criminal")
	else
			door.Transparency = 1
			door.CanCollide = false
			wait(2)
			door.Transparency = 0
			door.CanCollide = true
			print("they are a cop")
		end
	end

cd.MouseClick:Connect(onClick)

Thanks for any feedback.

This looks fine to me. Are you really on the ‘Prisoner’ team? Is the team actually named ‘Prisoner’?

#3

Yes the name of the team is prisoner. I’ve tested both teams

#4

You mean Prisoner right, not prisoner?

#5

Yes I mean “Prisoner” not “prisoner”.

#6

Is it a Script and not a LocalScript? Also, you might want to check the actual team by debugging with

print(player.Team)
if player.Team == game:GetService("Teams").Prisoner then
#7

It is a server script. I tested out the debug script you gave me and it printed “Guard” when I was on the guard team but when I switched to the prisoner team it printed guard again.

Now we know what is actually happening. It seems that there is a mistake in the process where you change teams.

Well I don’t have a team change GUI, I’m just using the teamcolor property inside of my player instance in the players service and I think it does the same as a team change GUI would.

That does not actually change your team. This article can help you with changing teams properly: Player | Roblox Creator Documentation.

It’s an issue regarding checking if the player is on the prisoner’s team (if player.Team == game:GetService("Teams").Prisoner then). You can attempt checking for the TeamColor, followed by the prisoner’s colour, and see if that makes a change.

I think I found out the error but it works now anyways so I will just say what I think was going wrong.

Basically I was changing the team from the client’s side instead of the server’s side and now it prints that I am on the prisoner team when I am on the prisoner team instead of saying I am a guard.
