Hello. I’ve been doing a game, that involves player’s friends. And, there’s one problem I came up with.
Even if my profile has MORE than 100 friends, it gets only 100 of them.
local b = 0
local function getfriendid(page, plid)
repeat
local info = page:GetCurrentPage()
for i, friendInfo in pairs(info) do
b += 1
end
if not page.IsFinished then
page:AdvanceToNextPageAsync()
end
until page.IsFinished
end
local function getfriends(plri)
local success, friendPages = pcall(function() return game.Players:GetFriendsAsync(plri) end)
if success then
return getfriendid(friendPages, plri)
else
return nil
end
end
wait(5)
getfriends(game.Players.BabyPennyB.UserId)
wait(5)
print(b)
Output this script gives is 100, and my profile has 146 friends.
What’s the deal? Is it the pages, or the GetFriendsAsync() function works incorrectly?
Have you tried the example on the Wiki? I believe it only allows you to pull 100 friends at a time, per page. (or something along the lines of)
“This code sample loads the Player.UserId of the player whose username is provided at the top of the script by using Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(). Then, it gets a FriendPages object by calling Players:GetFriendsAsync() and iterates over each entry using the iterPageItems function. The username of each friend is stored in a table, then printed at the end.”
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local USERNAME = "Cozecant"
local function iterPageItems(pages)
return coroutine.wrap(function()
local pagenum = 1
while true do
for _, item in ipairs(pages:GetCurrentPage()) do
coroutine.yield(item, pagenum)
end
if pages.IsFinished then
break
end
pages:AdvanceToNextPageAsync()
pagenum = pagenum + 1
end
end)
end
-- First, get the user ID of the player
local userId = Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(USERNAME)
-- Then, get a FriendPages object for their friends
local friendPages = Players:GetFriendsAsync(userId)
-- Iterate over the items in the pages. For FriendPages, these
-- are tables of information about the friend, including Username.
-- Collect each username in a table
local usernames = {}
for item, _pageNo in iterPageItems(friendPages) do
table.insert(usernames, item.Username)
end
print("Friends of " .. USERNAME .. ": " .. table.concat(usernames, ", "))```
I have a game which gets all friends of a player, here the script:
-- Server
local function iterPageItems(pages)
return coroutine.wrap(function()
local pagenum = 1
while true do
for _, item in ipairs(pages:GetCurrentPage()) do
coroutine.yield(item, pagenum)
end
if pages.IsFinished then
break
end
pages:AdvanceToNextPageAsync()
pagenum = pagenum + 1
end
end)
end
-- Function to count items in FriendPages
local function countItems(pages)
local count = 0
for _ in iterPageItems(pages) do
count = count + 1
end
return count
end
-- Example:
local userId = player.UserId
local friendPages = Players:GetFriendsAsync(userId)
local numFriends = countItems(friendPages)
