"What would you like to see added to the API?"

ifIsInTgi()

^

just kidding


basically, for starters, what unclear says here
http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=140171915

much more but here's a few things
this may be overlay but:

-check if user is in the group's clan
-IfIsInAllyOf() so you dont have to make a table list
-view the powers of the group admin
-call IsInGroup on anyone not in game (im not sure if you can do this currently)
-IfIsPending()

-JOIN GROUP SERVICE LIKE THE SHIRT & PNTS MARKETPLACE API PLEASSSSSEEEEEEEEE

-in theory, set promotions, demotions, and shout in game though i suppose there are some security concerns here and this can't come for a long time

Write that stuff in this thread, Falq. I'm giving the thread link to the devs tomorrow evening. So if you write some good stuff in there it might get added.

IsAllyToGroup()

IsEnemyToGroup()

IsLeaderOf() -- probably not gonna happen but eh could be useful

more API does need to be added

@sky

IsLeader = player:GetRankInGroup(groupId) == 255


Now we just need to expand it to use userId for universal usage.

if player:GetRankInGroup(666) == 255 then

but the 1-255 number system is really awkward

"u can use https 2 do almost all of these alrdy"

that's dumb

you could pathfind before pathfindingservice but this is a lot easier

if i am a scripter, and i am, i want to focus on my unique stuff that makes what im scripting special

not wasting my time with HTTPservice

is completely useless for the majority of scripters

so just suck it up and use https for them if you REALLY need them
