How would I make it so only a certain group rank can see a frame?

Currently I’m trying to make a system to were if you touch a button a gui will appear. (I’ve done that already) But the trouble I’m having is that I want it to show only if you are a certain group rank and only that rank can see it.

Button Script:

local button = script.Parent

local clickdetector = button.ClickDetector

function onMouseClick(player)

local playerUI = player:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui")

playerUI.ButtonGui.Frame.Visible = true

end

clickdetector.MouseClick:connect(onMouseClick)

Tween script (Local script):

local button = workspace.Button
local object = script.Parent
local clickdetector = workspace.Button.ClickDetector

function onMouseClick(player)
object.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(0, 0)
object.Position = UDim2.new(1, 0, 0.905, 0)

wait(0.5)

object:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.837, 0, 0.905, 0))
	
end

clickdetector.MouseClick:connect(onMouseClick)

How to make a button that only members of a group can see?
#2

In other words, I’m trying to make it so that a certain group rank will be able to see a gui when another player presses a button, but that player won’t be able to see the gui and only the person that has the certain group rank will be able to see it.

You could connect a Player.PlayerAdded event and use Player:IsInGroup(groupId) to check and clone to their playergui if they are in group.

Well the thing is when I do game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) it will show an error telling me that onMouseClick needs to be changed to local?

#5

I don’t know what your script looks like but you should probably put the playeradded event and clone it before and just make it so you can’t see it until you press the button.

It seems I’ve got something right but the first onMouseClick still seems to be an error…

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	
local button = script.Parent
local clickdetector = button.ClickDetector


function onMouseClick(player)
	local playerUI = player:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui")		
		
	if Player:GetRankInGroup(6201590) == 255 then	
	playerUI.ButtonGui.Frame.Visible = true
else
	playerUI.ButtonGui.Frame.Visible = false
clickdetector.MouseClick:connect(onMouseClick)
			
		end
	end
end)

You can’t run the function in the actual function, you need to call it outside it:

function onMouseClick(player)
	local playerUI = player:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui")		
		
	if Player:GetRankInGroup(6201590) == 255 then	
	playerUI.ButtonGui.Frame.Visible = true
else
	playerUI.ButtonGui.Frame.Visible = false			
		end
	end
end)

clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(onMouseClick)
