Help with if/else script

So, I am trying to make a whitelist system for something I am making. And I have this script,


local HttpService = game.HttpService
warn("Checking for purches")
	local URL = "https://api.cheesycorp.tk/pole/".. game.CreatorId
	local ReceivedData = HttpService:GetAsync(URL)
	local Data = HttpService:JSONDecode(ReceivedData)
	print(URL)
	print(game.CreatorId)
local user = Data[1].userid
print(user)
	if user == game.CreatorId then
		warn("Purches found.")
		print(ReceivedData)
			script.Script.Disabled = false
			script.Script:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace
			script.ScreenGui:Clone().Parent = game.StarterGui
			else warn("No purches found. Deleteing")
				script:Destroy()
	end

I am wondering what is happening. Because when I run the script, I get the else part instead. I want to know what this is happening, and If I can prevent it from happening.

I can’t see the else code for some reason? Is there even any?

#3

When you do print(user) what do you get?

#4

Are you testing this in studio (run) or on a live server? The CreatorId variable is always 0 while in studio.

@Crowdsource It seemed to pick up the creator id and output the right thing. @archisaurus When I print user I get the same id as the creator id and @IAmPinleon

else warn("No purches found. Deleteing")
				script:Destroy()

That is the else code.

  16:58:13.103 - Checking for purches
Realism Mod is currently running v2.08!
  https://api.cheesycorp.tk/pole/5196118
  5196118 (This is the creatorId)
  16:58:16.437 - No purches found. Deleteing

That is what I get from running the code.

#7

Are you the CREATOR of the game? Or you can just edit it?

#8

It is a group, and yes I own the group and the group has acess.

#9

What does the REST API do?

#10

The creator id you guys are using doesn’t seem to exist, it just leads me to an random account, while i thought/think that it would bring me into your account.

#11

It is connected to my DB. So, unless I put the data in wrong it should work.

#12

It’s owned by a group

This is what it is based off of.

#15

Can I know what the REST API returns. Also game.creatorId will be the Id of the group that owns the game

#16

[{“userid”:“5196118”,“date-bought”:“2020-04-18T00:00:00.000Z”}]

#17

This is the endpoint. https://api.cheesycorp.tk/pole/5196118

#19

I got false. Ima try this in a real game.

#20

I think the problem is that game.creatorId is a Number and whatever the userid you’re API returns is a string

#21

One reason this might not be working is because if game.CreatorId is a group id like @LukaDev_0 has mentioned then user == game.CreatorId will never be true, because i’m pretty sure that user is meant to be a user id no? , thus:

    warn("Purches found.")
	print(ReceivedData)
	script.Script.Disabled = false
	script.Script:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace
	script.ScreenGui:Clone().Parent = game.StarterGui

Would never run
