IsFriendsWith needs FriendService

Hello, so I have this code right here used for removing a friend boost from a player if their friend leaves

for i = 1, #Players:GetPlayers() do

		local playerLooped = Players:GetPlayers()[i]

		if playerUserId ~= playerLooped.UserId then

			if player:IsFriendsWith(playerLooped.UserId) then
				playerLooped:FindFirstChild("CoinsMulti").Value /= playerLooped:FindFirstChild("FriendMulti").Value
				playerLooped:FindFirstChild("FriendMulti").Value -= 0.25
			end

		end

	end

For some reason, if player:IsFriendsWith(playerLooped.UserId) then errors out saying I need to use FriendService even though I used the same condition when a player joins and it seems to work fine.

You’re probably checking if you’re friends with yourself. Try checking if the indexed player is not the local player.


for i = 1, #Players:GetPlayers() do

		local playerLooped = Players:GetPlayers()[i]

		if playerUserId ~= playerLooped.UserId then

			if player:IsFriendsWith(playerLooped.UserId) and player.UserId ~= playerLooped.UserId then
				playerLooped:FindFirstChild("CoinsMulti").Value /= playerLooped:FindFirstChild("FriendMulti").Value
				playerLooped:FindFirstChild("FriendMulti").Value -= 0.25
			end

		end

	end

In the above if statement, I compare userid’s so that shouldn’t be the issue
if playerUserId ~= playerLooped.UserId then

Oh sorry! Didn’t see that, maybe try looking at the docs for friend service.

I did, and it doesn’t really help. The service is used to accept and decline requests aka the popup that shows when someone wants to be your friend. There’s no methods or anything that are useful.
