ServerScript wont copy items from a folder to player backpack

MrKesselring · June 6, 2021, 1:01am

So, I’m working on a system where a script hands out items based on a players rank in a group, however it wont do anything.

here is my script:

local module = require(script.Parent)
local items = script.AllItems
local groupId = 7732854

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module.Personell then
		local clone = items["Level 1 Clearance"]:Clone()
		clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end

	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module.Specialist then
		local clone = items["Level 2 Clearance"]:Clone()
		clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end

	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module.Captain then
		local clone = items["Level 3 Clearance"]:Clone()
		clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end

	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module["Junior Officer"] then
		local clone = items["Level 4 Clearance"]:Clone()
		clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end

	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module.Colonel then
		local clone = items["Level 5 Clearance"]:Clone()
		clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end
end)

Please help!

Try adding prints to see what runs:

local module = require(script.Parent)
local items = script.AllItems
local groupId = 7732854

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module.Personell then
        print("personnel")
		local clone = items["Level 1 Clearance"]:Clone()
		clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end

	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module.Specialist then
        print("specialist")
		local clone = items["Level 2 Clearance"]:Clone()
		clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end

	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module.Captain then
        print("captain")
		local clone = items["Level 3 Clearance"]:Clone()
		clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end

	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module["Junior Officer"] then
        print("junior officer")
		local clone = items["Level 4 Clearance"]:Clone()
		clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end

	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module.Colonel then
        print("colonel")
		local clone = items["Level 5 Clearance"]:Clone()
		clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end
end)

Its not printing anything. Let me try changing module.Colonel to the actual rank id

Update: that did not work.

Can I see the module? It might be a string instead of a number.
Also, try printing the rank like this.

local module = require(script.Parent)
local items = script.AllItems
local groupId = 7732854

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    print(plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId))
	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module.Personell then
        print("personnel")
		local clone = items["Level 1 Clearance"]:Clone()
		clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end

	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module.Specialist then
        print("specialist")
		local clone = items["Level 2 Clearance"]:Clone()
		clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end

	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module.Captain then
        print("captain")
		local clone = items["Level 3 Clearance"]:Clone()
		clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end

	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module["Junior Officer"] then
        print("junior officer")
		local clone = items["Level 4 Clearance"]:Clone()
		clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end

	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module.Colonel then
        print("colonel")
		local clone = items["Level 5 Clearance"]:Clone()
		clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end
end)

local ranks = {

["Personell"] = 1;

["Operative"] = 239;

["Senior Operative"] = 240;

["Specialist"] = 241;

["Senior Specialist"] = 242;

["Corporal"] = 243;

["Sergeant"] = 244;

["Captain"] = 245;

["Junior Officer"] = 246;

["Officer"] = 247;

["Major"] = 248;

["Lt Col"] = 249;

["Colonel"] = 250;

}

return ranks

Also, its still not printing anything

Instead of your old script, try this:

if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= module["Junior Officer"] then
 items["Level 4 Clearance"]:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
end

Let me know if this helps

You should check into this error…

Pokemoncraft5290 · June 6, 2021, 1:19am

Are you sure? I tried the script in studio and the event fired just fine.

MrKesselring · June 6, 2021, 1:24am

I moved the script, now im getting the prints, but it still wont copy the items to my backpack.

EqualAxoly · June 6, 2021, 1:35am

Oh also, you do not have a group ID connected.

MrKesselring · June 6, 2021, 1:43am
