Getting Player for Attribute

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello!

In a ServerScript, I have implemented attributes created in the Player to determine whether they are playing a game or not. How can I get the Player who interacted with the game to check the value of their “playinggame” attribute? [player:GetAttribute(“playinggame”)]

local function onClick(playing)
	if gameinfo.State.Value == "IDLE" and gameinfo.TicketsWon.Value <= 0 and player:GetAttribute("playinggame") == false then
		--Code
	end
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClick)

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Try this code:

local function onClick(player)
    local playing=player:GetAttribute("playinggame")
	if gameinfo.State.Value == "IDLE" and gameinfo.TicketsWon.Value <= 0 and playing == false then
		
	end
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClick)

The mouseclick event for click detectors always have a player parameter by default

#4

Is there a way to also keep the “playing” parameter? It’s needed for code in the function.

Like this?

local function onClick(player, playing)
#5

there is but you got to connect the onclick function within the mouseclick function

#6 
local function onClick(player,playing)
	if gameinfo.State.Value == "IDLE" and gameinfo.TicketsWon.Value <= 0 and player:GetAttribute("playinggame") == false then
	end
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(player)
      local playing= true
      onClick(player,playing)
end

This gets set to something somewhere else in the code, which I’m trying to figure out.

It might represent the player.

local a = playing.leaderstats:FindFirstChild(gameinfo.Currency.Value) -- A line in the code.

ok cool yeah i just made the playing variable a random default value
