Finding creator ID while in studio?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I wanna print the creator ID while in studio or is it only possible while being on a roblox server?

#2

print(game.CreatorId) -- This prints the game creator's id. This will not work unless the game is published (I think)

I have the game published but it just gives me CreatorId is not valid member of place1

#4

Is it actually published to roblox or saved to file?

#5

If it’s a local script, I think it won’t work

#6

It’s published to roblox and is a server script

#7

Is it a group game? ----------

If the game’s on a user profile, you could use game.CreatorId to get the game owner’s id.
However, if the game’s under a group, you’ll need to use GroupService (roblox.com) with it’s GroupService:GetGroupInfoAsync (roblox.com) method to get the group owner’s id.

You can check the creator type via game.CreatorType.

local CreatorId = game.CreatorId
if game.CreatorType == Enum.CreatorType.Group then
    local GroupInfo = GroupService:GetGroupInfoAsync(game.CreatorId)
    if GroupInfo.Owner then -- Check if the group has an owner - if it doesn't, this'll be nil
        CreatorId = GroupInfo.Owner.Id
    end
end

I hope this helped. :slight_smile:
