Server lock script who won't unlock/re-lock the server

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello,

As the developer of a group, I needed a permanent server lock system who permanently let enter every player with rankID higher or equal 40 in the group, and who can be disabled with a command (/unlock) to let people under the rankID 40 to enter in the server, and who can be re-enable with an another command (/lock) to re-set the limit to the rankID 40.

The issue is when I use the unlock command it won’t work, but the lock command work perfectly:

I’ve set lock to false, then the unlock command worked perfectly, but the lock command stopped working, I’m kinda lost, that’s why I’m asking your help.

local minRank = 40
local groupID = 5912393
local lock = true

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    if lock == true and plr:getRankInGroup (groupID) < minRank then
        plr:kick ("The server is locked")
    end

    plr.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
        if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupID) >= minRank then
            if msg == "/lock" then
                lock = true and print("locked")
            end

            if msg == "/unlock" then
                lock = false and print("unlocked")
            end
        end
    end)
end)

The script don’t let people under the rankID 40, I’ve tested it.

Why are you using and…??? Just do it without using and?
print() returns absolutely nothing at all so true and print results in nil

Well I will re-test, without that.

Also, you can do this instead:

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    if lock and plr:getRankInGroup(groupID) < minRank then
        plr:Kick("The server is locked")
    else
        plr.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
            if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupID) >= minRank then
                if msg == "/lock" then
                    print("locked")
                    lock = true
                elseif msg == "/unlock" then
                    print("unlocked")
                    lock = false
                end
            end
        end)
    end
end)

Or better yet, listen to chat events from all players instead of just specific ones.
