Player:GetRankInGroup() ServerScript not Working

Greetings everyone, I’m new to the Devforum.

I want this script to detect an user’s Rank ID once clicked a button using ClickDetector, and if it’s 50 or higher, it lets them open/close the door.

So I tried this in a LocalScript and it worked but since it’s a LocalScript, it works for only that player → no point on opening/closing.

-- Y = Yellow
-- R = Red
-- C = Cyan
local clickdetectorY = game.Workspace.Temple_0.ButtonBox.DoNotTouchTheName.Buttons.YB.ClickDetector
local clickdetectorR = game.Workspace.Temple_0.ButtonBox.DoNotTouchTheName.Buttons.RB.ClickDetector
local clickdetectorC = game.Workspace.Temple_0.ButtonBox.DoNotTouchTheName.Buttons.CB.ClickDetector
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local GroupID = 8551076
local minimumRank = 50

clickdetectorY.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	if Player:GetRankInGroup(GroupID) >= minimumRank then
		if game.Workspace.Temple_0.EntryNeonDoor.Transparency == 1 then
			game.Workspace.Temple_0.EntryNeonDoor.CanCollide = true
			game.Workspace.Temple_0.EntryNeonDoor.Transparency = 0.7
		else
			game.Workspace.Temple_0.EntryNeonDoor.CanCollide = false
			game.Workspace.Temple_0.EntryNeonDoor.Transparency = 1
		end
	else
		print("You have to be a Jedi Knight+ to open/close this!")
	end
end)

clickdetectorR.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	if Player:GetRankInGroup(GroupID) >= minimumRank then
		game.Workspace.Temple_0.EntryNeonDoor.Transparency = 0.7
		game.Workspace.Temple_0.EntryNeonDoor.CanCollide = true
	else
		print("You have to be a Jedi Knight+ to close this!")
	end
end)

clickdetectorC.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	if Player:GetRankInGroup(GroupID) >= minimumRank then
		game.Workspace.Temple_0.EntryNeonDoor.Transparency = 1
		game.Workspace.Temple_0.EntryNeonDoor.CanCollide = false
	else
		print("You have to be a Jedi Knight+ to open this!")
	end
end)

As I said, this worked as a LocalScript but I want it to work as a ServerScript → If I change this into ServerScript it says "attempt to index nil with “GetRankInGroup”. How can I fix this?

Did you put the following script on top ifrom your local script into your server script?

#3

I did. It doesn’t work as a ServerScript while it works as a LocalScript, but I want it to work as a ServerScript.

I see your problem. There are a few changes needed.

Remove this, because this only can be done in local scripts.

Put Player in the function brackets like this
function(Player)
