Players

Enables or disables the three Players methods (BanAsync(), UnbanAsync(), and GetBanHistoryAsync()) that constitute the ban API. This property is not scriptable and can only be modified in Studio.

The BubbleChat property indicates whether or not bubble chat is enabled. It is set with the Players:SetChatStyle() method using the Enum.ChatStyle enum.

When this chat mode is enabled, the game displays chats in the chat user interface at the top-left corner of the screen.

There are two other chat modes, Players.ClassicChat and a chat mode where both classic and bubble chat are enabled.

The CharacterAutoLoads property indicates whether Class.Character|Characters will respawn automatically. The default value is true.

If this property is disabled (false), player Class.Character|Characters will not spawn until the Player:LoadCharacter() function is called for each Player, including when players join the experience.

This can be useful in experiences where players have finite lives, such as competitive games in which players do not respawn until a game round ends.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

-- Set CharacterAutoLoads to false
Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false

-- Remove player's character from workspace on death
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	while true do
		local char = player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
		char.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
			char:Destroy()
		end)
	end
end)

-- Respawn all dead players once every 10 seconds
while true do
	local players = Players:GetChildren()

	-- Check if each player is dead by checking if they have no character, if dead load that player's character
	for _, player in pairs(players) do
		if not workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name) then
			player:LoadCharacter()
		end
	end

	-- Wait 10 seconds until next respawn check
	task.wait(10)
end

Indicates whether or not classic chat is enabled. This property is set by the Players:SetChatStyle() method using the Enum.ChatStyle enum.

When this chat mode is enabled, the game displays chats in a bubble above the sender's head.

There are two other chat modes, Players.BubbleChat and a chat mode where both classic and bubble chat are enabled.

LocalPlayer is a read-only property which refers to the Player whose client is running the experience.

This property is only defined for LocalScripts and ModuleScripts required by them, since they run on the client. For the server, on which Script objects run their code, this property is nil.

The MaxPlayers property determines the maximum number of players that can be in a server. This property can only be set through a specific place's settings on the Creator Dashboard or through Game Settings.

The PreferredPlayers property indicates the number of players to which Roblox's matchmaker will fill servers. This number will be less than the maximum number of players (Players.MaxPlayers) supported by the experience.

The RespawnTime property controls the time, in seconds, it takes for a player to respawn when Players.CharacterAutoLoads is true. It defaults to 5.0 seconds.

This is useful when you want to change how long it takes to respawn based on the type of your experience but don't want to handle spawning players individually.

Although this property can be set from within a Script, you can more easily set it directly on the Players object in Studio's Explorer window.

This function makes the local player chat the given message. Since this item is protected, attempting to use it in a Script or LocalScript will cause an error.

Instead, when creating a custom chat system, or a system that needs access to the chat, you can use the Chat service's Chat:Chat() function instead.

This function searches each player in Players for one whose Player.UserId matches the given UserId. If such a player does not exist, it simply returns nil. It is equivalent to the following function:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local function getPlayerByUserId(userId)
	for _, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
		if player.UserId == userId then
			return player
		end
	end
end

This method is useful in finding the purchaser of a developer product using MarketplaceService.ProcessReceipt, which provides a table that includes the purchaser's UserId and not a reference to the Player object itself. Most games will require a reference to the player in order to grant products.

This function returns the Player associated with the given Player.Character, or nil if one cannot be found. It is equivalent to the following function:

local function getPlayerFromCharacter(character)
	for _, player in game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers() do
		if player.Character == character then

end

This method is often used when some event in player's character fires (such as their Humanoid dying). Such an event might not directly reference the Player object, but this method provides easy access. The inverse of this function can be described as getting the Character of a Player. To do this, simply access the Character property.

The Players:BanAsync() method allows you to easily ban users who violate your experience's guidelines. You can specify the ban duration, enable the ban to propagate to suspected alternate accounts, and provide a message to the banned user in accordance with the Usage Guidelines. You should also post your experience rules somewhere accessible to all users and provide a way for them to appeal. This method is enabled and disabled by the Players.BanningEnabled property, which you can toggle in Studio.

Banning and Messaging

Banned users will be immediately evicted and prevented from rejoining your experiences. They will be presented with an error modal displaying the time left on their ban and your DisplayReason. Roblox's backend systems will evict players across all servers from the place(s) that you specify. DisplayReason can have a maximum length of 400 characters and is subject to a text filter. For more information on acceptable modal text, see ban messaging.

Places and Universe

By default, bans extend to any place within that universe. To limit the ban to only the place from which this API is called, configure ApplyToUniverse to false. However, if a user is banned in the start place of the universe, it effectively results in the user being excluded from the entirety of the universe, irrespective of whether a universal ban is in place or not.

Alternative Accounts

Users often play under multiple different accounts, known as alternate accounts or alt accounts, which are sometimes used to circumvent account bans. To help you keep banned users out, the default behavior of this API will propagate all bans from the source account you banned to any of their suspected alt accounts. You can turn off ban propagations to alt accounts by configuring ExcludeAltAccounts to true.

Ban Duration

Not all transgressions are the same, so not all bans should be the same length. This API lets you configure the duration of the ban, in seconds, with the Duration field. To specify a permanent ban, set the field to -1. You may also want to dynamically configure the ban duration based on the user's ban history, which you can query for using Players:GetBanHistoryAsync(). For example, you may want to consider the number of bans, the duration of previous bans, or build logic off of the notes you save under PrivateReason which can be up to 1000 characters and are not text filtered. PrivateReason notes are never shared with the client and can be considered safe from attackers.

Errors and Throttling

This method invokes an HTTP call to backend services which are subject to throttling and may fail. If you're calling this API with more than one UserId, this method will attempt to make the HTTP call for each ID. It will then aggregate any error messages and join them as a comma separated list. For example, if this method is invoked for five users and requests for those with UserIds 2 and 4 fail, the following error message appears:

HTTP failure for UserId 2: Timedout, HTTP 504 (Service unavailable) failure for UserId 4: Service exception

The message will always include failure for UserId {} if it is an HTTP error.

Client-Side Requirement

Because of the risks associated with banning users, this method may only be called on the backend experience server (client-side calls will result in an error). You may test this API in Studio, during collaborative creation, or in a team test, but the bans will not apply to production.

This API uses the User Restrictions Open Cloud API. You will be able to utilize these APIs to manage your bans in third party applications.

This function returns information about a player's avatar (ignoring gear) on the Roblox website in the form of a dictionary. It is not to be confused with GetCharacterAppearanceAsync, which actually loads the assets described by this method. You can use InsertService:LoadAsset() to load the assets that are used in the player's avatar. The structure of the returned dictionary is as follows:

Assets Sub-Table

The assets table is an array of tables containing the following keys that describe the assets currently equipped by the player:

Scales Sub-Table

The scales table has the following keys, each a number corresponding to one Humanoid scaling property: bodyType, head, height, proportion, depth, width.

Body Colors Sub-Table

The bodyColors table has the following keys, each a number corresponding to a BrickColor ID number which can be used with BrickColor.new(id): leftArmColorId, torsoColorId, rightArmColorId, headColorId, leftLegColorId, rightLegColorId.

Unbans players banned from Players:BanAsync() or the User Restrictions Open Cloud API. This method is enabled and disabled by the Players.BanningEnabled property, which you can toggle in Studio.

Like Players:BanAsync(), this method takes in a config dictionary that will let you bulk unban users. This configures the users that are unbanned and the scope from which they are unbanned from.

Unbans will only take effect on bans with the same ApplyToUniverse scope. For example, an unban with ApplyToUniverse set to true will not invalidate a previous ban with ApplyToUniverse set to false. In other words, a universe level unban will not invalidate a place level ban. The opposite also holds true.

This method invokes a HTTP call to backend services, which are throttled and may fail. If you are calling this API with multiple UserIds, this method will attempt to make this HTTP call for each UserId. It will then aggregate any error messages and join them as a comma separated list. For example, if this method is invoked for five UserIds: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and requests for users 2 and 4 fail then the following error message appears: HTTP failure for UserId 2: Timedout, HTTP 504 (Service unavailable) failure for UserId 4: Service exception. The message will always include failure for UserId {} if it is an HTTP error. It is undefined behavior if you pass in both valid and invalid UserIds, i.e. a UserId that is not a positive number, as some network requests may succeed before all input is validated.

Because of the risks associated with banning users, this method may only be called on the backend game server. Client side calls will result in an error. You may test this API in Studio, Team Create, and Team Test, but the bans will not apply to production. This function call will only attempt ban requests on production game servers and not in Studio testing. However, all input validation steps will still work in Studio.

This API uses the User Restrictions Open Cloud API. You will be able to utilize these APIs to manage your bans in third party applications.

The PlayerAdded event fires when a player enters the game. This is used to fire an event when a player joins a game, such as loading the player's saved GlobalDataStore data.

This can be used alongside the Players.PlayerRemoving event, which fires when a player is about to leave the game. For instance, if you would like print a message every time a new player joins or leaves the game:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	print(player.Name .. " joined the game!")
end)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	print(player.Name .. " left the game!")
end)

If you want to track when a player's character is added or removed from the game, such as when a player respawns or dies, you can use the Player.CharacterAdded and Player.CharacterRemoving functions.

Note that this event does not work as expected in Play mode because the player is created before scripts run that connect to PlayerAdded. To handle this case, as well as cases in which the script is added into the game after a player enters, create an onPlayerAdded() function that you can call to handle a player's entrance.

This event fires when the game server recognizes that a player's membership has changed. Note, however, that the server will only attempt to check and update the membership after the Premium modal has been closed. Thus, to account for cases where the user purchases Premium outside of the game while playing, you must still prompt them to purchase Premium; this will then show a message telling them they're already upgraded and, once they close the modal, the game server will update their membership and trigger this event.

To learn more about and incorporating Premium into your experience and monetizing with the engagement-based payouts system, see Engagement-Based Payouts.

The PlayerRemoving event fires right before a Player leaves the game. This event fires before ChildRemoved does on Players, and behaves somewhat similarly to Instance.DescendantRemoving. Since it fires before the actual removal of a Player, this event is useful for storing player data using a GlobalDataStore.

This can be used alongside the Player.PlayerAdded event, which fires when a player joins the game. For instance, to print a message every time a new player joins or leaves the game:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	print(player.Name .. " joined the game!")
end)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	print(player.Name .. " left the game!")
end)

If you want to track when a player's character is added or removed from the game, such as when a player respawns or dies, you can use the Player.CharacterAdded and Player.CharacterRemoving functions.

This event fires when the game server recognizes that the user's status for a certain subscription has changed. Note that the server only attempts to check and update the status after the Subscription Purchase modal has been closed. To account for cases in which the user purchases the subscription outside of the game while playing, you must still prompt them to purchase the subscription; the prompt shows a message telling the user they're already subscribed, and after they close the modal, the game server updates their subscription status and triggers this event.

Note that only server scripts receive this event.
