How would I make it so only a certain rank can press a ClickDetector?

I am trying to modify this sliding door to be a pool cover, but I only want it so only a certain rank and above can press it…?

local groupid = 6201590
local trigger = script.Parent
local gate = script.Parent.Parent.Gate

moving = false
open = false

function onClick()

if open == false and moving == false then

	moving = true
	trigger.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright yellow")

	for i = 1, (gate.Size.Y * 10 + 1) do
		wait()
		gate.CFrame = gate.CFrame*CFrame.new(0, -0.1, 0)
	end

	moving = false
	open = true
	trigger.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")

elseif open == true and moving == false then

	moving = true
	trigger.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright yellow")
	
	for i = 1, (gate.Size.Y * 10 + 1) do
		wait()
		gate.CFrame = gate.CFrame*CFrame.new(0, 0.1, 0)
	end

	moving = false
	open = false
	trigger.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")

end

end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClick)

If you only want a specific rank and not a range, you can simply use the return of MouseClick, which is the player who pressed the ClickDetector and then use GetRankInGroup on that player and then check if the rank is equal to the rank of an allowed rank

Example, this will make it so only the owner of the group can use the detector

local groupid = 6201590
local trigger = script.Parent
local gate = script.Parent.Parent.Gate

moving = false
open = false

local allowedRank = 255 --Your rank number here from 0-255

function onClick(plr)
	
	local rank = plr:GetRankInGroup(groupid)
	
	if rank < allowedRank then
		return
	end
	
	if open == false and moving == false then

		moving = true
		trigger.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright yellow")

		for i = 1, (gate.Size.Y * 10 + 1) do
			wait()
			gate.CFrame = gate.CFrame*CFrame.new(0, -0.1, 0)
		end

		moving = false
		open = true
		trigger.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")

	elseif open == true and moving == false then

		moving = true
		trigger.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright yellow")
		
		for i = 1, (gate.Size.Y * 10 + 1) do
			wait()
			gate.CFrame = gate.CFrame*CFrame.new(0, 0.1, 0)
		end

		moving = false
		open = false
		trigger.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")

	end

end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClick)

Well yes, but I am wanting it so everyone above that rank (Including the rank) can click it.

That’ll do as you want, simply just change allowedRank to the rank you want. you can check your group’s ranks to see the number they have. What my code does is if your rank is less than the rank that is allowed to use it, it stops the code there until it is clicked again and checks again

#5

What I am saying is that if like a player is less than a rank then it will return then end, but if they are in that rank or above it it would work.

#6

That’s what the code is doing

local rank = plr:GetRankInGroup(groupid)
	
if rank < allowedRank then
	return
end

Does what you just said. Gets the rank, is the rank less than the rank that is allowed to use the detector? if yes, return, other wise (meaning their rank is equal or greater), do something

Yes, I understand now. Thank you!
