Help with Group API

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Good morning,

I was wondering if I could get help with using the api. I was wondering how I can print if a group has no owner by id. I’ve never used the api so I have no idea.

Thanks.

The following line of code finds info on a group using :GetGroupInfoAsync(), a function of GroupService.

print(game:GetService("GroupService"):GetGroupInfoAsync(ID).Owner ~= nil)
-- Will print true or false whether a group has an owner
#3

Here’s a function I wrote which accepts a group’s ID as an argument and returns whether or not that group has an owner.

local groups = game:GetService("GroupService")

local function doesGroupHaveOwner(groupId)
	local success, result = pcall(function()
		return groups:GetGroupInfoAsync(groupId)
	end)
	
	if success then
		if result then
			if result.Owner then
				return true
			else
				return false
			end
		end
	end
end

print(doesGroupHaveOwner(1)) --true
print(doesGroupHaveOwner(13)) --false
