Anyone know how to get live info regarding which groups a player is in and their rank?

e.g: You join a server not joining a group but you are convinced to join while you're playing, so you don't have to wait for a new server for a sword instead you can reset

I got the resetting part and checking for group and I read somewhere once that checking if a player is in a group from a local script would work.. but I just tried it and it doesn't x.x

Anyone known an alternative way?

Sasa that's not even remotely relevant here.

And no, this is totally and completely impossible without using some advanced HttpService magic. Sadly, for reasons unbeknownst to anyone, IsInGroup caches for the server.

Oh I didn't know that existed. Fascinating. Maybe not nearly as hard as I thought, but still, advanced scripting.

You get out you idiot CharacterAdded has nothing to do with telling if a player is in a group.

GroupService doesn't help either, you are really being quite stupid. Are you able to read the OP?

GetRankInGroup and GetRoleInGroup for rank stuff btw forgot that

Wait.

There are 3 ways, which can "indirectly" tell you if a person is in a group.

IsInGroup()
GetRankInGroup()
GetRoleInGroup()

If a player joins, and IsInGroup does not find them in the group 1234. Then the game tells them to join a group.
The player says they now joined the group.
Then the game calls GetRankInGroup() to check if they're in the group.

Could that be a possibility? :P
