Problem checking if else - code does not print

Hello, I would like to validate the roles but this is not printing on the screen, what is wrong?..

I need to check if the player is in a specific role.Name or if not, but the code doesn’t work for me, what’s wrong?

StarterPlayerScripts:

-- Player:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

-- UI Screens:
local GuiToEnable_Q1 = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Question1")
local GuiToEnable_Q2 = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Question2")
local GuiToEnable_Q3 = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Question3")
local GuiToEnable_Q4 = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Question4")
local GuiToEnable_Q5 = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Question5")
local GuiToEnable_Q6 = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Question6")
local GuiToEnable_Q7 = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Question7")
local GuiToEnable_Q8 = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Question8")

-- Leaderstats:
local leaderstats = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")


-- TEAMS → Ladrillos a tocar

local ladrillos_team_rojo = {
	['parts'] = {
		['red_part1'] = game.Workspace.redteam.part_1;
		['red_part2'] = game.Workspace.redteam.part_2;
		['red_part3'] = game.Workspace.redteam.part_3;
		-- You can put more here..
	}
}

local ladrillos_team_azul = {
	['parts'] = {
		['blue_part1'] = game.Workspace.blueteam.part_1;
		['blue_part2'] = game.Workspace.blueteam.part_2;
		['blue_part3'] = game.Workspace.blueteam.part_3;
		-- You can put more here..
	}
}

ladrillos_team_rojo.parts.red_part1.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	local role = leaderstats.Roles
	print(role.Value)
	
	if role.Value == "Player" then
		print("You are in player team.") -- This does not print on screen
	else
		print("you has not team.") -- This does not print on screen
	end
end)

Is it giving you any errors? If so what do they say? And what line are they coming from?

#3

The reason maybe and the most possible reason is that this local script is not parented to a place it can work.

#4

This might be why, you never exactly specified the ClickDetector object for any of the parts so it’s not detecting anything

Try this instead?

ladrillos_team_rojo.parts.red_part1.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()

Off topic to the question, but for god’s sake please use a table!!!

Thanks a lot guys for the help!
@iGottic By the way, how would you recommend using the tables for this case?

#7 
local QuestionScreens = {}
local NumberOfQuestions = 8 -- Change this when you would like!
local QuestionNamePrefix = "Question"

local PlayerGui = Player.PlayerGui

for QuestionNumber = 1, NumberOfQuestions do
	local Name = QuestionNamePrefix .. QuestionNumber -- The name of the UI
	QuestionScreens[QuestionNumber] = PlayerGui:WaitForChild(Name) -- Store the UI in the table for later use
end

--// To get a name, access the QuestionScreens array.
--// For example, to get the UI for question 3, you can do QuestionScreens[3]

--// You can also loop through the table.

--[[
for Number, UI in pairs(QuestionScreens) do
	print("Question Number: " .. Number)
	print("The UI is: " .. UI:GetFullName())
end
--]]

Hopefully this helps.
