How to get player team name in if statment?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I need to condition the player if he is in a specific team, for example:

if player team name “team name” then → can do things specified in the code → else cannot do what is specified in the code

example:

local function checkPlayerTeam()
if player.team == "newTeam" then
--code here
else
--code here
end
end

The idea of this is to make functionalities for each team in my game

You didn’t specify player in the function.

local function checkPlayerTeam(player)
if player.Team == "newTeam" then
--code here
else
--code here
end
end
#3

So, if my local player changes team, will I see the output message?

server script:

local function checkPlayerTeam(player)
	if player.Team == "New Team" then
		--code here
		print("You are in new team")
	else
		--code here
		print("you are not in new team")
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Wait(checkPlayerTeam)

or does i need a localscript and do this function and be called in the server?

Also, to check the team you don’t just put the name in, you need to define it in the game: game:GetService("Teams")["New Team"] instead of just "New Team"

It does not print the print in the output … I need to make that every time the local player changes team the print appears :frowning:

#6 
local teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local function checkPlayerTeam(player)
	if player.Team == teams["New Team"] then
		print("You are in new team")
	else
		print("you are not in new team")
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(checkPlayerTeam)

Works.

local function GetPlayerTeam(player: Player) : Team -- function to get the specified player's team
   return player.Team -- returns the player's team
end

if GetPlayerTeam(player).Name == "Team Name" then -- check the team's name
   -- also, replace the "player" as I just put that as a placeholder for the example

   -- do stuff
else
   -- do stuff
end

Thank you very much, this worked! I just adjusted the code a bit to my needs and you have really helped me, thank you! :smiley:

local teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local function checkPlayerTeam(player)

	local b = false
	while b == false do
		b = true
		if player.Team == teams["nvm"] then
			print("You are in new team")
		else
			print("you are not in new team")
		end
		b = false
		wait(3)
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(checkPlayerTeam)
