Notification once specified user joins

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I would like to make a system, once a specified user joins server, people will receive a notification with his avatar icon and name and text “joined server”, what does it need?

What does it need?

  • A PlayerAdded event in a server script that detects when a player joins and then checks their name to see if it’s the specific user
  • Remote Event to fire StarterGui:SetCore("SendNotification", {}) to all players
  • Use Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync() to get the player’s thumbnail, more info here: :GetUserThumbnail method

Those are the main things. Should be pretty easy to do.

It should be in a server-sided script or the script should be placed somewhere?

#4

What exactly are you wanting the notifaction to be?

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")

local playerToWatch = "ItzCrime_bruh" -- replace with the name of the player you want to watch

function onPlayerAdded(player)
    if player.Name == playerToWatch then
        local notificationText = player.DisplayName .. " joined the game!"
        local notificationOptions = {
            Title = "Player Joined",
            Text = notificationText,
            Duration = 5,
        }
        StarterGui:SetCore("SendNotification", notificationOptions)
    end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

EDIT: It may not work due to how roblox loads. If it doesnt work move it to a Starter Folder

If I wan’t to have my original name (not display), I just gotta change this to player.Name?

#7

Yup. That should work fine. Do you still want an Icon next to the text?

Alright, thanks. Also, there is any chance to make a small text under the name?

#11

Awesome! If it worked please solution it. Also Can you elaborate?

#12

he’s talking about the property called “Text”…

#13

Modifying

local notificationText = player.Name .. " joined the game!"

You can modify it to your liking

#14 
local notificationText = player.Name .. " joined the game"!

under this text

#15

“Title” and “Text” is the only text you can have on it?

#16

ok thanks i guess this will work, let me test it real quic

#17

by the way, where do i put this script, and what type it should be local or normal? im not professional in types

#18

Most likely a server script inside of server script service…

#19

Didn’t you type the code,
it’s probably the only two

#20

Its in a LocalScript. CoreGui can only be called by the client
