Developer Exclusive Features

[spring ridge]

So i am trying to make a button exclusive for only some people and while not only i made this myself, i even looked at some tutorials to confirm that this should work. The problem is the button appears even if the developer isnt even in the game despite the button being set to invisible and uninteractable

DevGUI.Visible = false
DevButton.Visible = false

if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name == "Name1" or "Name2" then
DevButton.Visible = true
DevButton.Interactable = true
DevGUI.Interactable = true
else
DevButton.Visible = false
DevGUI.Visible = false
end

i even set the button and gui to invisible and uninteracteble in the instances themselves

[sterile frost]

you might have set the visibillity to the starter gui button and not the player button

[spring ridge]

wait but... even if then i set it invisible on default

[sterile frost]

could you show your whole script if you would not mind

[spring ridge]

i get that i have to put playergui instead of screengui but... ok lemme test smth

[sterile frost]

If it doesn't work show me your whole script

[spring ridge]

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Gui = Player.PlayerGui.Gui
local DevButton = Gui.ButtonFrame:WaitForChild("4DevButton")
local DevGUI = Gui:WaitForChild("Dev")

DevGUI.Visible = false
DevButton.Visible = false

if Player.Name == "MOO_OOOI" or "Destroyer267654" then
DevButton.Visible = true
DevButton.Interactable = true
DevGUI.Interactable = true
else
DevButton.Visible = false
DevGUI.Visible = false
end

[spring ridge]

it doesnt work but here is the full thing

[sterile frost]

did you test if the script even runs

And where did you place it

[spring ridge]

under gui

[sterile frost]

does the script run use a print statement to check

[spring ridge]

it does

@sterile frost

[sterile frost]

add more print statements see if it prints if you join the game inside the if player.name == "yourname" part

[spring ridge]

if Player.Name == "MOO_OOOI" or "Destroyer267654" then
DevButton.Visible = true
DevButton.Interactable = true
DevGUI.Interactable = true
print("ee")
else
DevButton.Visible = false
DevGUI.Visible = false
end
This is what i used

[sterile frost]

and it prints ee right

no errors

[spring ridge]

yeah

i tried it with my alt called "MOO_OOOII" idk if it still counts as "MOO_OOOI"

@sterile frost

[sterile frost]

ima make it rq

[spring ridge]

thx

[sterile frost]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer

local ScreenGui = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
local TextButton = ScreenGui:WaitForChild("TextButton")

if Player.Name == "lon12431" then
    TextButton.Visible = true
else
    TextButton.Visible = false
end

this works fine

[sterile frost]

also

you need to do if player.name = "blah" or player.name = "bleh"

[spring ridge]

oh

[barren bramble]

YIKES

DO NOTTTT DO THAT

[spring ridge]

???

[barren bramble]

use userid and not name

[spring ridge]

i used it before

but i thought it broke the thing

[barren bramble]

no

[spring ridge]

it didnt rly

[barren bramble]

it’s more secure

[spring ridge]

it was broken anyway

yeah i kinda realized tht

thats why i used it at first

[barren bramble]

plus ue gonna need ifs on the server too

[spring ridge]

?

[barren bramble]

r u gonna use a remote event?

[spring ridge]

for what

[barren bramble]

the gui

what r u making

[spring ridge]

@sterile frost it doesnt work at all

local DevButton = Gui.ButtonFrame:WaitForChild("4DevButton")
DevButton.Visible = false

if Player.UserId == "4060027411" or Player.UserId == "3692433033" then
DevButton.Visible = true
DevButton.Interactable = true
print("Obtained DevGui!")
else
DevButton.Visible = false
DevButton.Interactable = false
end

[sterile frost]

errors?

[spring ridge]

no

just doesnt

[sterile frost]

also the user id is better

[spring ridge]

ik i used it

[sterile frost]

is the gui enabled

[spring ridge]

yeah

wait

uhhh

[sterile frost]

so?

[spring ridge]

oh nwm

doesnt work

[vale lark]

userid is not a string

[spring ridge]

it doesnt even print

[barren bramble]

when r u setting the visibility

bruh put that shit in a event

[spring ridge]

why

[barren bramble]

cause why would u want a gui on ur screen without your input

[spring ridge]

huh

[barren bramble]

like press a button and make it show

not just when the game is ran

[sterile frost]

the screen ui runs scripts without any events

[spring ridge]

what if i make like a super secret key bind

like multiple keys

or something

[sterile frost]

you dont need to

[barren bramble]

i mean u could 😭

[barren bramble]

dumb

[spring ridge]

then what

[sterile frost]

how

[sterile frost]

does the script run

like use print statemnt before and of the ifs

[spring ridge]

no it doesnt

[sterile frost]

where is it located

[barren bramble]

why u want visibility changing without an event

[spring ridge]

its in the screengui.gui

its simple i just need it to be visible if its me or my friend

[sterile frost]

try placing in directly in starter gui

[spring ridge]

why

[sterile frost]

btw do you know that starter gui gets cloned and put in PlayerGui

[barren bramble]

show the screengui and all its descendants

[sterile frost]

you could also do a player joined event on starterplayerscripts

thats much better

[spring ridge]

hmm

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
if Player.UserId == "4060027411" or Player.UserId == "3692433033" then
DevButton.Visible = true
DevButton.Interactable = true
print("Obtained DevGui!")
else
DevButton.Visible = false
DevButton.Interactable = false
end
end)

like this?

[sterile frost]

playeradded doesnt run on the client

like for the player

do it on the character added

[spring ridge]

Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
if Player.UserId == "4060027411" or Player.UserId == "3692433033" then
DevButton.Visible = true
DevButton.Interactable = true
print("Obtained DevGui!")
else
DevButton.Visible = false
DevButton.Interactable = false
end
end)

[barren bramble]

what does the button do

[sterile frost]

yes

[spring ridge]

open gui

still nothing cant anyone just make it for me if im that stupid

[sterile frost]

this worked for me

[meager ether]

wrong script location then

[barren bramble]

boi just use a button

[spring ridge]

huh

[barren bramble]

like press ; and it opens

something like that

[spring ridge]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer

local Gui = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Gui")
local DevButton = Gui.ButtonFrame:WaitForChild("4DevButton")

if Player.UserId == "4060027411" then
DevButton.Visible = true
else
DevButton.Visible = false
end
Just made this but now it doesnt show for anyone

[sterile frost]

dont put the user id in ""

[spring ridge]

why

[sterile frost]

its a number not a string

[spring ridge]

...

it-

it works

[sterile frost]

alr

[pliant plank]

if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name == "Name1" or game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name == "Name2" then
DevButton.Visible = true
DevButton.Interactable = true
DevGUI.Interactable = true
else
DevButton.Visible = false
DevGUI.Visible = false
end

[rustic timber]

** You are now Level 5! **

[pliant plank]

cuz u cant write name == "..." or ",,,"

need: name == "..." or name == ",,,"

but better if u make it as table

like table with usernames
