Need help with rank tag script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello.

So, I’m duplicating this script where if a player is a certain rank in a group then it will give them a tag. The script is:

	if Player:IsInGroup(10402709) then
		if Player:GetRankInGroup(10402709) == 8
			local CreatorTag = STAFF_Tag:Clone()
		CreatorTag.Parent = Character.Head
	end

Where it says ‘CreatorTag.Parent’, I searched up CreatorTag in the workspace and there is nothing there, does that mean I can name it to anything and the script wont break? Or is it something else?

#2

CreatorTag is the name of the variable which contains a clone of STAFF_Tag, basically yes you can rename the CreatorTag variable and it wont break anything unless you forget to change a reference to it

#3

Just tested that before, didn’t work, any ideas on why?

#4

Did you forget to change any references to the CreatorTag variable? Did you just only change the CreatorTag.Parent line? If so, you gotta also change the local CreatorTag line to have the new name of the variable

#5

Yup, did that too. I made a STAFF_Tag billboard GUI aswell, basically duplicated a billboard gui from the creator_tag that actually works, and this is the full script, I just added my own one to it. Is there anything in this script preventing it from working?

local MarketPlaceService = game:GetService(“MarketplaceService”)

local gamePassId = 00000 --REPLACE THIS WITH YOUR GAMEPASSID
local groupId = 10402709 --REPLACE THIS WITH YOUR GROUPID

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
local GuiClone = script.GroupRankOverHead:Clone()
GuiClone.Parent = Character.Head

  local PlayerName = GuiClone.PlayerName
  local RankName = GuiClone.RankName
  
  local PlayerRank = Player:GetRoleInGroup(groupId)
  PlayerName.Text = Player.Name
  RankName.Text = PlayerRank
  
  if Player.Name == "2DLAF" then
  local CreatorTag = script.CREATOR_Tag:Clone()
  CreatorTag.Parent = Character.Head
  end
  
  	if Player:GetRankInGroup(10402709) == 8 then
  		local StaffTag = STAFF_Tag:Clone()
  	StaffTag.Parent = Character.Head
  end
  
  if MarketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(Player.UserId,gamePassId) then
  	local ExtraTag = script.PREMIUM_Tag:Clone()
  	ExtraTag.Parent = Character.Head
  end

end)
end)

I think I see your issue? There was nothing in your script called STAFF_Tag, I think you forgot a reference to the script, try this?

local MarketPlaceService = game:GetService(“MarketplaceService”)

local gamePassId = 00000 --REPLACE THIS WITH YOUR GAMEPASSID
local groupId = 10402709 --REPLACE THIS WITH YOUR GROUPID

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		local GuiClone = script.GroupRankOverHead:Clone()
		GuiClone.Parent = Character.Head

		local PlayerName = GuiClone.PlayerName
		local RankName = GuiClone.RankName

		local PlayerRank = Player:GetRoleInGroup(groupId)
		PlayerName.Text = Player.Name
		RankName.Text = PlayerRank

		if Player.Name == "2DLAF" then
			local OwnerTag = script.CREATOR_Tag:Clone()
			OwnerTag.Parent = Character.Head
		elseif Player:GetRankInGroup(10402709) == 8 then
			local StaffTag = script.STAFF_Tag:Clone()
			StaffTag.Parent = Character.Head
		elseif MarketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(Player.UserId,gamePassId) then
			local ExtraTag = script.PREMIUM_Tag:Clone()
			ExtraTag.Parent = Character.Head
		end
	end)
end)

Now the whole overhead GUI won’t show with this script, rip.

Gotta love those quotes

local MarketPlaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")

local gamePassId = 00000 --REPLACE THIS WITH YOUR GAMEPASSID
local groupId = 10402709 --REPLACE THIS WITH YOUR GROUPID

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
        print("Both events are firing")
		local GuiClone = script.GroupRankOverHead:Clone()
		GuiClone.Parent = Character.Head

		local PlayerName = GuiClone.PlayerName
		local RankName = GuiClone.RankName

		local PlayerRank = Player:GetRoleInGroup(groupId)
		PlayerName.Text = Player.Name
		RankName.Text = PlayerRank
        print("Changed settings for the player")

		if Player.Name == "2DLAF" then
            print("Found the owner")
			local OwnerTag = script.CREATOR_Tag:Clone()
			OwnerTag.Parent = Character.Head
		elseif Player:GetRankInGroup(10402709) == 8 then
            print("Found a staff member")
			local StaffTag = script.STAFF_Tag:Clone()
			StaffTag.Parent = Character.Head
		elseif MarketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(Player.UserId,gamePassId) then
            print("Found a Premium Member")
			local ExtraTag = script.PREMIUM_Tag:Clone()
			ExtraTag.Parent = Character.Head
		end
	end)
end)

You should have 4Tag Objects parented inside your script I believe, the GuiObject itself, the CREATOR, STAFF, and PREMIUM Tags

Do check your Output and see what returns back, this should be a server script
