Hey, you can GetRankInGroup (namecall function under Player) and check if the rank level is higher than x, if so, give weapons.

I dont have a group, i mean like something that checks the players username / user id, then based of that give them a tool

#4

Then you can have a set table in your script like…

local Admins = {--[[userids here]]}

and then check if they’re in the table.

if Admins[Player.UserId] then
    --equip tools
end

here is an example script I made that may help you.

-- // Declared Services

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

-- // Private Variables

local Whitelisted = {1, 111, 111} -- Example IDS (Replace or add with your IDs

-- // Functions

local function NewPlayer(player: Player)
      if table.find(Whitelisted, player.UserID) then
         -- GIVE WEAPON HERE
     end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(NewPlayer)

Would you do like.

[123456789] = true,
#7

No, you can just keep it a simple array.

local Admins = {820590675, 5421770840}

ive made a variable for the tool, how would i tell the script to give the tool to the player, like would you use Tool.Parent = Player.Backpack or something?

#9

I’ve never done much with tools, but I believe as long as you’re doing it in a server script this should work?

#10

You would do something like this:

local newTool = tool:Clone()
newTool.Parent = Player.Backpack
#11

Oh so a script like this would work?

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Tool = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local Whitelisted = {1, 111, 111} 

local function NewPlayer(player)
    if table.find(Whitelisted, player.UserId) then
        local newTool = Tool:Clone() 
        newTool.Parent = player.Backpack
    end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(NewPlayer)
#12

Yes if the Whitelisted array refers to your Admin list, then yes. That should work just fine.
Except ServerStorage isn’t a tool, i’m sure you meant game:GetService("ServerStorage").Tool or something.

Also, how would you do multiple tools, would you do multiple clone statements? or is there an easier way

#15

You could have a folder in ServerStorage called AdminTools or something.
and then you could do this:

local AdminTools = game:GetService("ServerStorage").AdminTools:GetChildren()

for _, Tool in AdminTools do
    if Tool:IsA("Tool") then
        local newTool = Tool:Clone()
        newTool.Parent = player.Backpack
    end
end
#16

and if it isn’t clear that code would run in this block:
image
And… you would have your tools inside of your AdminTools folder.

#17

Also, does the script work if a player joins mid game?

#18

Yes. You connect the function to a PlayerAdded event which fires every time someone joins.

#19 
local items = --Insert item location here.--
local item = items:GetChildren()
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
if plr.UserId == game.CreatorId then
item:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
end)
#20

This is easy. You can also do it while your in a script add it so if someone buys a game pass they get tools so yeah but basically my script finds if the player is in the table if they are they get a tool. Then if someone owns the game pass they get the tool.
