Player's UserId keeps returning as 0

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I have a script that puts a player’s user ID in a intvalue, but it keeps giving me 0.



print("start")
local function OnPlayerAdded(player) 
	while wait(0.5) do
	local cube = cubes[math.random(1, #cubes)]
	print(2)
	print(cube.occupied.Value)
	if not cube.occupied.Value then
		print(3)
			cube.owner.bill:WaitForChild("label").Text = player.Name
			cube.owner.bill.label:WaitForChild("User").Value = player.UserId
			repeat wait()
until player.UserId~=0
			print("success")
			cube.occupied.Value = true
			break
		else
		    print("retry")
	    end
	end
end



game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnPlayerAdded)

for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do 
	OnPlayerAdded(v)
end

What prints? What isn’t working? From what I can tell, the UserId is fine, and your logic is probably the issue.

#3

It returns with a 0, and that’s the point I don’t see what’s wrong with this script.

#4

Number value can store decimals and whole numbers. I’m not sure about this, try using IntValues.

#5

Are you sure the code even reaches that point?

#6

Are you testing this in a local server with Player1, Player2 etc or is this with your actual character?

#7

Im testing with my ACTUAL character.

#8

I don’t think that would change anything.

#9

Have you tried to print the UserId or are you using the repeat statement as your indicator of it being 0?

#10

It’s either that, or he can try waiting for the character to enter using the CharacterAdded event of Players.

Idk trial and error methods work :sweat_smile:

#11

" A NumberValue is an object whose purpose is to store a single Lua number, defined to be double-precision floating point number,"

Yeah I don’t think the NumberValue is the issue.

#12

Yes the script DOES print the userid and it prints a 0.

#13

Is not cube.occupied.Value true?

Oh that’s for something else.
The script is meant to pick a random area and I needed the UserID so I could let only the player who owned the area sit in a seat there.
Also that = false.

#15

Can you provide the latest script.

#16

Since that is false you are never actually setting the value of the NumberValue so it remains 0.

#17

That still IS the latest script.

#18

Does this same issue occur if you play it normally in game and not through studio?

Maybe Enable HTTP and DataStores?

Maybe that’s why

Or u did not concatenate it with a string

Yes, I’ve tried playing ingame and the dev console stills shows the user id is 0.
