Invite Friends [OPEN SROUCE]

Hello There!

I decided to create this for my friends game and it took around 3 minutes to make as I didn’t know how to use the Social Service. This is really easy to make but I thought I would open source it for new games that don’t have as good scripters.

This is very customizable and is scripted for a user-interface system.

Features:

  • Shows how many friends are online.
  • Live updating friends online count.
  • Pops up invite so you can get friends to join when they click the button.
-----| CONFIGURATION |-----
local IniviteFriendsOnJoin = true -- Replace false with true if you want it to prompt invites to friends when they join the game.

local LocalPlayer = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local SocialService = game:GetService("SocialService")
local Friends = LocalPlayer:GetFriendsOnline()

repeat wait() until script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("FriendsBackground")
repeat wait() until script.Parent.Parent.FriendsBackground:FindFirstChild("Button")

script.Parent.Parent.FriendsBackground.Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	SocialService:PromptGameInvite(LocalPlayer)
	SocialService.GameInvitePromptClosed:Connect(function()
		-- Coming Soon
	end)
end)

if IniviteFriendsOnJoin == true then
	SocialService:PromptGameInvite(LocalPlayer)
	SocialService.GameInvitePromptClosed:Connect(function()
		-- Coming Soon
	end)
end

while wait() do
	local FriendOnline = 0
	
	for Number,Friend in pairs(Friends) do
		FriendOnline = FriendOnline + 1
	end
	
	if FriendOnline == 0 then
		FriendOnline = "NONE"
	end
	
	local FreindsFrame = script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("FreindsFrame")
	local FriendsText = FreindsFrame:FindFirstChild("Text")
	
	if FreindsFrame and FriendsText then
		FriendsText.Text = "FRIENDS ONLINE: "..FriendOnline
	end
end

This is unusable to new scripters if you don’t provide the interface that you used.

I’ll make it a model then I guess.

Can you also provide another version of this which will open up the Invite Friends menu when clicking a button?

^ I did with the model above ^

#7

Oh, sorry. I thought the menu popped up when joining, lol.

#8

I can do that too if you want. I have updated the model and script so you can disable or enable join invite.

This is really neat! I was looking for something like this too so thank you! :smiley:

Thank you for your contribution! I just want to say something for the future and to help you with your development:

Using repeat wait() to wait for something is a bad practice, instead, use :WaitForChild:

script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("FriendsBackground")

If the waiting is too long, a warning will be printed in the output, but it’s nothing very harmful to the code. And also:

I would like to recommend you this post to read, it explains why you shouldn’t use wait() on specific cases:

Thanks for reading :slight_smile:

You have numerous spelling mistakes in your code. Sometimes you spell friends as ‘freinds’.

Please fix.

Unfortunately this is not substantial enough for this category, is incomplete, and uses some poor coding practices. Only submit finished and polished resources.
