Problem with GetRankInGroup

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

So I am trying to make a Over-head gui for all the group ranks, but it gives me this error:
19:54:31.235 - ServerScriptService.OverHeadGuiScript:6: attempt to index nil with ‘GetRankInGroup’

I’ve seen other post on this problem but it was for all ranks above a certain number, but with mine is every rank.

This is a small part of the script(there is a whole bunch of elseif’s for the other ranks.):

if Player:GetRankInGroup(6783583) == 255 then
			local ClonedGui = OverHeadGui:Clone()
			ClonedGui.Parent = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name).Head
			ClonedGui.Label.Text = "Owner"

Thank you for reading!

first of all. Put the result in a variable. Second of all, the error means that Player doesn’t exist

Most of the time the error message should tell you what is wrong.

How are you defining the Player variable?

4

I’m using:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
5

What do you mean by that? What is the result?

6

Is this a server script? You can only use game.Players.LocalPlayer in a local script.

Server or local script? tHe result is what Player:GetRankInGeoup() returns

Don’t do this on a local script, do it on a server script and use the .CharacterAdded event

It is a server script(30charsss)

LocalPlayer doesn’t work in Server Scripts. As @topdog_alpha said. Use playeradded

11

It is within a CharacterAdded event.

Sorry guys, i got it to work!
It was in a player.added event so i used the perimeter.

Your script would want to be a server script and look like this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(chr)
-- UI stuff goes in here
end)
plr:LoadCharacter()
end)

You may find that you have to reset at least once to get the UI to appear on the player due to the .CharacterEvent not firing when a player is first added (roblox issue don’t ask lol) but the work around to this is by putting plr:LoadCharacter() at the end of the PlayerAdded event (look where I put it in the above script) and this should trigger the characteradded event

I already did that. But thanks for the help.

In that case transfer this to a server script and it will work
