Specific tools not allowed (ranks)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to make it so if a group rank (like 3-255) holds a specific item it would keep it in their inventory, however, if a guest picks it up or acquires it in their inventory it will destroy/deletes it from them. (Not allowed to hold the tool)

I’m hoping if there’s a source out there I can look or read to make this work. Hopefully, I can make it because I have no clue. I don’t have anything done, but if there’s a source out there I can read and check out it would help me a bunch.

Perhaps

this might help you this function will check on what rank if they are on the group

here is a default code from the dev hub

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    if Player:GetRankInGroup(2) == 255 then -- change 2 to your group ID
        print("Player is the owner of the group, 'LOL'!")
    else
        print("Player is NOT the owner of the group, 'LOL'!")
    end
end)

Let me see what I can do to make this work.

#4

I believe that I need to replace the two-line with print
and add a script where “tool1” if rank it would stay in their inventory.

While

If not rank the “tool1” disappear/destroy from their inventory.

Where can I gather this information from a different source & thank you for the source.

you could do a function

tool.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
      local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
      if plr then -- if they exist
            if plr:GetRankInGroup(1) == 255 then -- change 1 to your group ID and 255 to your desired rank
                  hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):EquipTool(tool)
            else
                  tool:Destroy()
            end
      end
end)

Alright let me go check it out.

#7

Alright so it’s not working, I have “tool” in my starterpack (just for testing) & my localscript with the function inside of serverscriptservice.

#9

When my alt join that isn’t in my group. The alt still obtain the “tool”

#10

Did it work?

30char minimum

#12

No, it didn’t work sadly. The alt spawned with the “tool” when it joined.

#13

errors?

30char30char30char

#14

Unknown Global ‘tool’ that’s an error

#15

As well for “Unknown global ‘LoadLibrary’” & “Global ‘guiMain’ is only used in the enclosingfunction;consider changing it to local”

#16

Yea just those errors are popping up.

#17

in case i suggest putting this script inside a tool the part’ name must be handle or else it wont work

sorry for late reply by the way

local tool = script.Parent

tool.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
      local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
      if plr then -- if they exist
            if plr:GetRankInGroup(1) == 255 then -- change 1 to your group ID and 255 to your desired rank
                  hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):EquipTool(tool)
            else
                  tool:Destroy()
            end
      end
end)
