Help fixing group rank script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Simple idea, I need to fix this script to disable a GUI when a member’s rank is lower than a certain integer between 0 and 255. Here’s the code:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Billboard = script.Parent

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
	if Player:GetRankInGroup(14995254) <= 100 then
		Billboard.Enabled = false
	else
		Billboard.Enabled = true
	end
end)

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

If this is a LocalScript, you won’t need the PlayerAdded part since it only needs to run once at the beginning of the game or each time the player spawns if the ScreenGui is set to ResetOnSpawn.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Billboard = script.Parent

if Player:GetRankInGroup(14995254) <= 100 then
	Billboard.Enabled = false
else
	Billboard.Enabled = true
end

Since it’s local judging by the LocalPlayer, you do not need the PlayerAdded event as it’s created after the player has been made, so it will never run.

Simplest way of doing what you want

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Billboard = script.Parent

Billboard.Enabled = Player:GetRankInGroup(14995254) > 100

Though as a recommendation, I don’t recommend this as the rank check can be bypassed easily by exploiters changing the Enabled setting manually.

If you want to ensure only players with a specific rank can use the billboard, check the Rank from the server and then clone the Billboard to the player instead so low ranks wont have the billboard sitting disabled (Make sure you put the billboard in ServerStorage so exploiters can’t clone it to themselves

I’d suggest using pcalls -

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Billboard = script.Parent

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local success,result = pcall(function()
         return player:GetRankInGroup(14995254)
    end)
    if success then
       if result <= 100 then
         Billboard.Enabled = false 
       else
         Billboard.Enabled = true
       end
    end
end)
