So here is my problem. I made a tool that players can hold in their hands, which has BillboardGUI with text on it, and it displays user's rank in my group. The script is LocalScript and currently i have only scripted it for one rank, my rank aka the group owner's rank. It was supposed to show up as F-DIRECTOR when i hold the card in my hand, but it doesn't changes. Here is the script: if Player:GetRankInGroup(2684229) == 255 then script.Parent.Text = "F-DIRECTOR" It is LocalScript. Ill add other ranks later, but currently i need to solve out how to fix this one! [0_0]

@WolfgangVonPrinz Lol, here we go again, the typical Scripters forum loser who cannot help out a newbie. Unlike others of you, i am not so good at scripting. How am i a troll? I am a troll because i simply asked what is wrong with my script? I just started recenly scripting and i ask you to excuse to me for calling me a troll without reason. I was hoping that someone would help me solve out this problem, but instead i get accused and called of troll. It is scripting forum, if you haven't read the title yet, where you can ask for advice. I don't see how i am trolling by simply asking for help. Everyone makes mistakes, and that i posted a script that is broken doesn't mean i am trolling. Now excuse to me for calling me like that!

OP That should work fine. Just use .Equipped function of the tool. Tool.Equipped:connect(function() --if player is in group then do something end)

Just paste what you showed into the event that time gave. And don't forget to end your if statement.

Alright, I'll help, gawd. So, is this the ENTIRE script??? If it is, I recommend you learn the Lua syntax a bit more carefully, a useful set of tutorials can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3dbJXSa12Q&list=PLXX6hhg4CysYf0M-_GtCEOgGlkBfrXsoJ Start at episode 3, and do it carefully. Post here if you don't understand anything, and he's tutorial on :GetChildren() is worse than useless

no those tutorials are in all likelihood terrible and if you read the thread closely you can assume that OP has very little interest in learning how to script
