Does it also have isPlaying?

#3

is it does like I really don’t know why this script is not working

#4

is this script on the server? I’m pretty sure that if you made those player values on the client the server won’t recognize it’s there?

Also wouldn’t it be easier to add a bool value instance to see if player is student or not or just use teams instead?

The value is stored on the client however I made a variable to get the player object from the server script

" local plr = game:GetService(“Players”):GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) "

When I did this the script was working fine form a while but then it started to just not work so I don’t really know

nvm I actually figured out the issue
