What do you want to achieve? I’m trying to make a permissions system, I wan’t a player menu listing the player’s with their permissions.
What is the issue? I get the permissions table from a ModuleScript using a RemoteFunction, and search for the player’s name in the table, for some reason it got past a table.find() statement locally, but when I try RemoteFunction[player.Name], it returns nil?
What solutions have you tried so far? I couldn’t find any unfortunately.
local getplayers = game.ReplicatedStorage.CheckAllPerms:InvokeServer()
game.ReplicatedStorage.CreatePlayer.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player, creating)
if creating == true then
if table.find(getplayers, player.Name) then
local playerFrame = script.TwentyCharactersLong:Clone()
playerFrame.Name = player.Name
playerFrame.PlayerPFP.Image = game.Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(player.UserId, Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size100x100)
if getplayers[player.Name] == 0 then
playerFrame.PlayerName.Text = player.Name.." (Visitor)"
print("0")
elseif getplayers[player.Name] == 1 then
playerFrame.PlayerName.Text = player.Name.." (Builder)"
print("1")
elseif getplayers[player.Name] == 2 then
playerFrame.PlayerName.Text = player.Name.." (Admin)"
print("2")
elseif getplayers[player.Name] == 3 then
playerFrame.PlayerName.Text = player.Name.." (Creator)"
print("3")
elseif getplayers[player.Name] == 4 then
playerFrame.PlayerName.Text = player.Name.." (Game Moderator)"
print("4")
elseif getplayers[player.Name] == 5 then
playerFrame.PlayerName.Text = player.Name.." (Game Admin)"
print("5")
elseif getplayers[player.Name] == 6 then
playerFrame.PlayerName.Text = player.Name.." (Game Creator)"
print("6")
end
playerFrame.LayoutOrder = getplayers[player.Name]
playerFrame.Parent = script.Parent
end
end
end)
table.find() raises an error if the first argument passed to it is not a table value, try printing (getplayers) before the table.find() operation occurs.
game.ReplicatedStorage.CheckAllPerms.OnServerInvoke = function(player)
local returning = {}
for _, v in pairs(require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Perms)) do
table.insert(returning, v)
end
return returning
end
local permissions = {
["simo066u"] = 5, -- Game Admin
["Include_Viable"] = 4, -- Game Moderator
}
return permissions
local permissions = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Perms)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
if not table.find(permissions, player.Name) then
if player.UserId ~= game.CreatorId then
local insertedItem = table.insert(permissions, player.Name)
permissions[player.Name] = 0 -- Visitor
elseif player.UserId == game.CreatorId then
local insertedItem = table.insert(permissions, player.Name)
permissions[player.Name] = 3 -- World Creator
end
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
if table.find(permissions, player.Name) then
for i, v in pairs(permissions) do
if v == player.Name then
table.remove(permissions, i)
end
end
end
end)
The player Instance is not sent through to the client when OnClientEvent is connected to a function because the client is able to reference the player instance directly through the Players service at any time with game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.
This means that the “player” parameter in the function from your original post would actually be referring to the second parameter that was input to the :FireClient() method on the server.
In short, the LocalPlayer can be referenced when needing to access player.Name and the “player” parameter within the function on the client-side can be removed.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
game.ReplicatedStorage.CreatePlayer.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(creating)
-- Continue with the function
end)
