How to make different group ranks get tools

StableAdministrator · November 20, 2020, 9:39pm

So I would like to know how to make different group ranks get tools. Some ranks have the same tools. I tried multiple scripts but none of them worked. Anyone can help me please?

Use this when a player joins

Heres some example code

local groupid = --insert group id here

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
     local rank = player:GetRankInGroup(groupid)
     if rank == 255 then
     local tool = tool:Clone
     tool.Parent = player.Backpack
     end
end)

Okay but how to make them get a tool?

Probably something like this - in ServerScriptService

local groupID = 000 --your group id
local requiredRank = 00 -- the rank needed for the role
local toolLocation = game.Blah.Blah.Blah -- find the tool

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local role = plr.GetRankInGroup(groupID)
	if role >= requiredRank then
		local tool = toolLocation:Clone()
		local toolCloneAgain = toolLocation:Clone()
		tool.Parent = plr.Backpack
		toolCloneAgain.Parent = plr.StarterGear
	end
end)

Okay I moved it but I dont understand it

local toolLocation = game.Blah.Blah.Blah – find the tool

Just find (locate) the tool, for example,

game.ReplicatedStorage.Tools.Tool

StableAdministrator · November 20, 2020, 9:50pm

So I just change this

game.ReplicatedStorage.Tools.Hello

Is your tool called ‘hello’ and is placed inside of ReplicatedStorage?

If so, then yes.

Put the tools into ServerStorage or ReplicatedStorage. Then, add a script into ServerScriptStorage and paste:

local tools = {
	game.ServerStorage.Tool1,
	game.ServerStorage.Tool2, 	--Defines the tools and makes it easier to do stuff. You can add more if you want to but you need a comma after every one up until the second to last one.
	game.ServerStorage.Tool3
	
}										

local grp = 00000 	--Replace 00000 with your group ID.

---

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)	--Connects a function when a player joins
	if plr:GetRankInGroup(grp) >= 000 then 	--Checks if they are above minumum rank
		plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()	--Connects a function when the player respawns/spawns
			local tool = tools[1]:Clone()	--Clones the tool and defines it
			tool.Parent = plr.Backpack	--Moves the tool into the player's backpack
		end)
	end
end)

You can copy and paste everything below “—” and change “000” and “tools[1]” (only change the number) to fit your needs.

This script doesn’t add the tool to the player’s StarterGear because the script clones a tool into the backpack everytime the player respawns/spawns.

If your tools are in ReplicatedStorage, then change “ServerStorage” to “ReplicatedStorage”

Just a heads up,

You should replace “GetRoleInGroup” with “GetRankInGroup.”
plr:GetRoleInGroup() returns a string and you can’t compare strings and numbers.

Oh yeah, my bad. I tend to get those 2 mixed up.

frrazers · November 20, 2020, 9:56pm

@Paul00990 Did you manage to get it working?

StableAdministrator · November 20, 2020, 9:57pm

Im testing it

StableAdministrator · November 20, 2020, 10:01pm

It is not working for some reason. The tool is in replicated storage
local groupID = 8347300 --your group id
local requiredRank = 255 – the rank needed for the role
local toolLocation = game.ReplicatedStorage.Tools.Detain – find the tool

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local role = plr:GetRoleInGroup(groupID)
if role >= requiredRank then
local tool = toolLocation:Clone()
local toolCloneAgain = toolLocation:Clone()
tool.Parent = plr.Backpack
toolCloneAgain.Parent = plr.StarterGear
end
end)

frrazers · November 20, 2020, 10:02pm

Change plr:GetRoleInGroup to plr:GetRankInGroup

StableAdministrator · November 20, 2020, 10:07pm

local groupID = 8347300 --your group id
local requiredRank = 255 --the rank needed for the role
local toolLocation = game.ReplicatedStorage.Tools.Detain --find the tool

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local role = plr:GetRankInGroup(groupID)
	if role >= requiredRank then
		local tool = toolLocation:Clone()
		local toolCloneAgain = toolLocation:Clone()
		tool.Parent = plr.Backpack
		toolCloneAgain.Parent = plr.StarterGear
	end
end)

It still wont work
