Actually just putting a click detector on a model will make the whole thing clickable.

#4

Was unaware of that, good to know! Thanks.

#5

Wouldn’t it be easier to use mouse input instead of click detectors since this is being done with a tool?

Does this work if you just simply click the player?

#7

It’s "GetRoleInGroup(groupID), GetRankInGroup will show the rankID, not the rank name, instead of GetRoleInGroup.

#8

I believe what he stated as “rank” was supposed to be “role” to show the string value.

In regards to find someones group role (rank is regarding the number):
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/Player/GetRoleInGroup

In @New_Item example, you just have to switch:

Before:    
frame.GroupRank.Text = v:GetRankInGroup(groupID)

After:
frame.GroupRank.Text = v:GetRoleInGroup(groupID)

So what about getting their tools and account age?

#10

Yes. The old mouse object has a Button1Down event and you can get a clicked-on part with the Target property, and find the player from there.

#11

The account age was in @New_Item 's example.

Review the function onClick(v). v stands for the player and it is grabbing the players account age as well as other info.

#12

You guys are too smart. Im having trouble following. lol

#13

First Question: Where do I put the script and what type of script?
Second Question: How do I make it so you can simply click any player if you have the security scanner equipped?

#14

You would have something like this in a localscript inside the scanner tool.

local tool = script.Parent

local frame = --Object path to the GUI frame containing the age and rank textboxes.
local groupID = --ID of your group.

local playerMouse = nil
local clickConnection = nil

-- The player mouse is passed in as a parameter of the Equipped event.
tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
	playerMouse = mouse
	clickConnection = playerMouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
		if (playerMouse.Target and playerMouse.Target.Parent) then
			local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(playerMouse.Target.Parent)
			if (player) then
				frame.Visible = true
				frame.PlayerAge.Text = player.AccountAge
				frame.GroupRank.Text = player:GetRoleInGroup(groupID)
			end
		end
	end)
end))

-- Make sure they can't use the tool while it is not selected.
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	frame.Visible = true
	if (clickConnection) then
		clickConnection:Disconnect()
		clickConnection = nil
	end
	playerMouse = nil
end)

How do I do the tools thing? Im not sure how to do it.

#16

Use a loop similar to this one.

for i,v in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
-- do whatever you want to with their items here
end
#17

I want it to say what items are in their inventory

#18

Try this.

for i,v in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
    frame.Text = frame.Text..','..v.Name
end

That would show a list of all of the players items.

#19

Building off what @New_Item said:

local text = ""
for _, tool in ipairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
	text = text..(tool.Name).."\n"
end
frame.ToolList.Text = text

“\n” can be replaced with ", " if you would rather have it on one line.

Are there any changes I need to make to your first script? I tested it out with my alt and nothing would click. Do I need to change anything?

#21

I tested the thing out with my alt and when I clicked my alt it wouldn’t work. FYI: I only used the local script info. Do I need to add anything else?

#22

Yeah, it does not work when you click on a person when you equip the tool.
