Making a only group member gui script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to make a local script inside starter gui that if you are in the group you will get the button e.g.

if Player:IsInGroup(groupId) then
  GUI.Frame.Employee.Visible = true
end

lol but IDK if that is right

#2

That’s correct

If you are in the group it will make the button visible

#3

I suggest you read up on this more

Exploiters can change the Visible property on their client, giving them complete access to GUI they have no right in being in.

Instead, I suggest you use this instead

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	if Player:IsInGroup(ID) then
		local UIClone = game.ServerStorage.AdminGui:Clone()
		UIClone.Parent = Player.PlayerGui
		UIClone.ResetOnSpawn = false
	end
end)

Use a ServerScript and have it check for who joins the server, check if they’re in the server, and clone a UI from ServerStorage or anywhere else the player cannot see (exploiters cannot see ServerScriptService and ServerStorage primarily), its important that the client cant see the source Gui so any exploiter cant just copy it over to their playergui and use it to their hearts content

The only downside to having this Severside is that the information is not live (if they leave the group while being in the game, the game will think they’re still in the group until they leave), but i doubt thats of much concern in this usecase

Thanks but I can just check if the player clicked the button and if the player is not in group and they touch it it will become not visible its a easy script

#5

I just need to put a while true do script maybe and it will updated every 3 seconds maybe

#6

This is a very bad practice, if you want to give the client ui, it must be on the server, its honestly a waist of resources having several checks for a UI script when you could easily just not give guest clients the gui at all
