I want users to be able to equip different rank/nametags that they’ve unlocked, right now I only have [AlphaTester]. I have it to where if the player has the Alpha Tester badge then they unlock the option to equip the rank.
If the tag is unlocked then it will show a white checkmark rather than a locked icon (these are image buttons btw) and if equipped it will be a green check. My issue is that I have this functioning correctly, but I do not know how to make it to where if the user was to click the green checkmark again it would turn white and take off the [AlphaTester] rank/nametag from them in the chat.
Here is what I have so far:
local UserId = game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId
local BadgeId = 1405951311851471
local Plr = game:GetService("Players")
local TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local box = player.PlayerGui.LobbyButtons.TitlesFrame.InsideBox.Box
local LockBn = box.ScrollingFrame.AlphaRankLabel.LockedIcon
----------
if BadgeService:UserHasBadgeAsync(UserId, BadgeId) then
LockBn.Image = "rbxassetid://17479511743"
LockBn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
LockBn.ImageColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 185, 0)
TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage = function(message: TextChatMessage)
local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
if message.TextSource then
local player = Plr:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)
properties.PrefixText = "<font color='#9a3e3e'>[AlphaTester]</font> " .. message.PrefixText
end
return properties
end
end)
end
An example of the system I want, Death Ball and Creatures of Sonaria has this! Thanks.
You could check for the ImageColor3 of the button, and then assign only the default PrefixText to the prefix text property to remove the nametag.
LockBn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if LockBn.ImageColor3 ~= Color3.fromRGB(0, 185, 0) then --Checkmark is white
LockBn.ImageColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 185, 0)
TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage = function(message: TextChatMessage)
local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
if message.TextSource then
local player = Plr:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)
properties.PrefixText = "<font color='#9a3e3e'>[AlphaTester]</font> " .. message.PrefixText
end
return properties
end
else --Checkmark is green
LockBn.ImageColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage = function(message: TextChatMessage)
local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
if message.TextSource then
local player = Plr:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)
properties.PrefixText = message.PrefixText --Removed nametag
end
return properties
end
end
end)
Tysm! Do you know how I can save it to if the player rejoins the tag is still there? I know it has something to do with player data but I’ve never messed with that stuff…
Whenever the player clicks the checkmark, you could have a remote event that fires from client to server, telling the server to store the player nametag. It could be something like:
On the client side:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
if BadgeService:UserHasBadgeAsync(UserId, BadgeId) then
LockBn.Image = "rbxassetid://17479511743"
LockBn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if LockBn.ImageColor3 ~= Color3.fromRGB(0, 185, 0) then
--Tells server which nametag it is, and if the nametag was equipped
RemoteEvent:FireServer(LockBn.Parent.Name, true)
else
RemoteEvent:FireServer(LockBn.Parent.Name, false)
end
end)
end
On a server script:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local nametagStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerNametag") --create/access a datastore
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, nametag, equipped)
local success, currentGold = pcall(function()
if equipped then
--Store the nametag, for the key name, I'd use the player's user id since it is unique
nametagStore:SetAsync(tostring(player.UserId, nametag))
else
nametagStore:SetAsync(tostring(player.UserId, ""))
end
end)
if not success then
print(errorMessage)
end
end)
I would also recommend having a module script or a table to store the prefix text of the nametag for easier access; when a player joins the game, you can use datastore:GetAsync(keyname) to retrieve the player’s nametag, and get the prefix text by looking up the module script/table with the nametag, and then use the remote event to fire back to client to change the nametag.
