Is there a way to check if a player joined the group?

[Reikko_5]

I’m trying to make a leaderboard show players that joined a group by using ID.

This is the server script in ServerScriptService:

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local GroupsService = game:GetService("GroupService")

local groupId = 16922207

local GroupMembersDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("GroupMembers")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

	local groupMembers = Instance.new("IntValue")
	groupMembers.Name = "GroupMembers"
	groupMembers.Parent = leaderstats

	leaderstats.Parent = player

	local success, data = pcall(function()
		return GroupMembersDataStore:GetAsync(tostring(player.UserId))
	end)

	if success then
		if data then
			groupMembers.Value = data.members or 0
		end
	else
		warn("Error loading data for player", player.Name)
	end

	local groupMembership = GroupsService:IsUserInGroup(groupId, player.UserId) -- there is an error in IsUserInGroup
	if groupMembership then
		groupMembers.Value += 1

		local success, error = pcall(function()
			GroupMembersDataStore:SetAsync(tostring(player.UserId), {members = groupMembers.Value})
		end)

		if not success then
			warn("Error saving data for player", player.Name, "Error:", error)
		end
	end
end)

the debugger tells me that IsUserInGroup is not valid, that’s why i need an alternative to this.

Thanks for your time.

I think you meant to use Player:IsInGroup().

it worked, wow thanks, It shows the leaderboard in the leaderboard player side.
