How to Create a Rank Management System using Glitch

sloss2003 · May 20, 2020, 1:06am

Looks like there is a space right before SetRank [%20 means space in URI encoding schemes]

Odd, this is my server script when RankPlayer is fired:

game.ReplicatedStorage.RankPlayer.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	if player:GetRankInGroup(4729062) < 238 then
		print("Fired")
	   	Server.SetRank(GroupId, player.UserId, 238)
	end
end)

Group ID is defined above that, as well as the path to the server module.

Is there a way not to use glitch ?

You will have to get a domain along with a vps and then copy the files over. You would probably be better sticking with glitch.

Where should I ptu the Client and Server code? WHat do I have to change

CAP7A1N · May 28, 2020, 8:54pm

It’s a tutorial, meaning you can see the code …

CAP7A1N · May 28, 2020, 8:54pm

Assuming you are talking about the example usage, it says Client Button, which is self explanatory, and server goes in Main.

Aiden_12114 · May 28, 2020, 11:54pm

It’s open sourced. You can see the code and there’s no cookie logging code in there.

CAP7A1N · May 29, 2020, 3:27pm

Please don’t make gossip about this tutorial possibly stealing your cookie.
Anyone can say this about any open-source code, doesn’t make it true though.

It is your responsibility to keep your code/cookie safe, not the tutorials. The glitch site I provided does not log, track, or do anything with your cookie except use it with the noblox.js api.

Simple Answers to Your 'Problems'

Dont trust the open-source site that tons of people use?
Read the code.

Worried about losing your account?
Use an alt that only has ranking permissions.

Worried about getting your IP address leaked?
Use a VPN.

I am more than happy to address any other concerns you have.

Thanks a lot for this resource! Very simple to understand and helpful.

My game is looking like this:

In Server (normal script Server, not module script), path is underlined orange.

Is this a problem, and have I done everything correctly?

(edit: opened the files etc don’t worry about previous question)

COUNTYL1MITS · June 2, 2020, 12:54pm

You should be doing this:

local Server = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService").Main.Server)

I didn’t even realise , thanks for the help. Is everything else set up correctly though?

I would just move all of the contents in Server (Script) to Main.

CAP7A1N · June 2, 2020, 2:53pm

Somewhat like what Vong25 said, you should only have 1 ‘Server’ script. This should be a module script. In the path to server, put ‘script.Server’, assuming the path is in Main and Server is also a child of it.

Also, the code for the gamepasses should be in Main. The title Server implies that it is in ServerScriptService.

how would you add the automatic cookie pool system as you stated earlier?

Poogoio · June 3, 2020, 1:01pm

How would you integrate it with your project?

How would I make a auto-accept join request center off of this?

CAP7A1N · June 12, 2020, 12:55am

Instead of ranking someone when they pass an application, use the join handle function.

RunionScripts · June 12, 2020, 2:04am

Sorry I am not that good on scripting how would I make a script to run the accept join request on the event fire?
