Mostly about groups, but how would you get the list of player Ids in a group? I'm just trying to make a database of people in my group.

You can't, unless they enter the game. Then you can use the IsInGroup method to find if they're in the group =D

It seems very ineffecient to me though. I'm not gonna update the game EVERYDAY, or when someone joins. Any creative ideas?

Those two ways are the only possible ways you can do this.

@OP

The IsInGroup would work as I think you need it. Basically, when a player enters the game, you will call the "IsInGroup" method, and if it passes, then it will do something.

I don't think 1500 people will all visit a game at once.... Or even at all.

Well, what you're doing is impossible, but VS has a thing called 'Data Nexus' that works as a database entry thingy.

What's the point of making a database; what are you trying to do?

I can make my own database for my own group, but it's too cliche.

It's just for my groups Leaders to who is in our group and things about them. Just a request from my groups teach division.

Your kidding me right? HR's can look through your groups members with the Group Admin feature, and for stats, like I said use DP, this way you can save stuff. Why do people not listen anymore?

use a for statement and go through all the user id's and see if they are in the group or not. Then make a list of all the ones that are.
