How do I make a text label say a users group rank name?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make a tool which has a users group rank on it, I’ve gotten a headshot and a username but I can’t find out how you get a group rank onto it, I only get an error with nil value if I try to do :GetRoleInGroup()

can anyone help?

If they aren’t in a group with :GetRoleInGroup() being supplemented with a proper group ID, it’ll return nil. Otherwise, it returns their role in that group.

#3

I put a group ID in it yet it still returns nil

#4

Try doing this (Replace all values with your values)

local groupRole = Player:GetRoleInGroup(GROUPID)

script.Parent.Text = groupRole

I’d like to add on that a LocalScript would be better at doing this, as stated in the documentation.

Same exact error as I was getting previously image

#7

If a player isn’t in said group, it should return “Guest”, not nil…?

Looks like its not a problem of the function, I think Player is nil in this.
try creating a local script in StarterPlayer and paste the code below, and run.

print(game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetRoleInGroup(YOURGROUPIDHERE))

let me know what this prints.

Then why does it print both the username and userid if you print game.Players.LocalPlayer and userid

#10

Send a screenshot of what it prints?

#11

what you sent isn’t of any relevance though as I want it to be on a tool textlabel which you cant just do game.Players.LocalPlayer for

#12

Use a remotefunction, and have a localScript return the requested data.

#13

seems legit (this is ingame when i printed it)

LocalPlayer only works in a LocalScript

OK lets try this then:

  1. Create a server script in ServerScriptService
  2. Paste below into said script:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    print(player.Name.."'s Rank in the group is: "..player:GetGroupRank(GROUPIDHERE))
end)

You did the code wrong.
you need to do:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    print(player.Name.."'s Rank in the group is: "..player:GetRankInGroup(GROUPIDHERE))
end)

you did “GetGroupRank”
