Get owner's UserId if game is a group game?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi there! I am trying to make a script that executes something when the owner joins. However when a game is a group game, game.CreatorId returns the groupid.

Is there a way to get the owner from the group when the game is a group game? I mean, the user who gets that owner tag in the playerlist?

Thanks in advance,
Jonas

game.OwnerID is a group id in this case. He can’t compare.

I need to get the id from the creator, not from the player. Just to check if someone is the game owner or not.

You could use GetGroupInfoAsync using Group Service. This returns a dictionary where you can index to the Owner which gets the player and get the UserId out of that

Thanks! :slight_smile: But, how do I check if the game is a group game?

I would suggest checking player’s rank in the group
I’ll refer to the playerlist script here.

if game.CreatorType == Enum.CreatorType.Group then
      local success, result = pcall(function()
            return player:GetRankInGroup(game.CreatorId) == 255
      end)
      if success and result then
            -- PLAYER IS AN OWNER
      end
end

PS: If you want to check both you can always change it to

local success, result = pcall(function()
      return game.CreatorType == Enum.CreatorType.Group and player:GetRankInGroup(game.CreatorId) == 255 or game.CreatorId == player.UserId
end)
if success and result then
      -- PLAYER IS AN OWNER
end

If you’re looking for a hacky way to do this without using the plr.UserId thing Ruizu suggested you could do.

if plr:GetRankInGroup(ID) == 255 then
-- Code
end

Thanks! But the game isn’t always a group game. :wink:

EDIT: I’m stupid, that solved it, thanks! :wink:

You can always compare the IDs if the game.CreateType is an User.
