I remade the kick script on https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/Player/Kick into a ban script. I used DataStores to store the banned player. When I use a DataStore Editor, I can add the person. But when I use the command, it doesn't work. Here is my script:

01    --ban command
02local Players = game:GetService("Players")
03 
04local ban = "/ban"
05 
06local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
07 
08local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("myDataStore")
09 
10local function onOwnerChatted(player, message)
11    if message:sub(1, ban:len()):lower() == ban:lower() then
12        local name = message:sub(ban:len() + 1)
13        local playerToban = Players:FindFirstChild(name)
14        if playerToban then
15            local success, eror = pcall(function()
16                DataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-banned",true)   
17            end)    
18            if success then
19                playerToban:Kick("You have been banned by the owner.")
20                print("Banned")
21            else
22                warn(eror)
23                game.ReplicatedStorage.Notifications:FireClient(player,name.." is not a player!")
24            end
25        end
26    end
27end
28 
29local function onPlayerAdded(player)
30    if player.UserId == game.CreatorId and game.CreatorType == Enum.CreatorType.User then
31        player.Chatted:Connect(function (...)
32            onOwnerChatted(player, ...)
33        end)
34    end
35end
36 
37for _, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
38    onPlayerAdded(player)
39end
40Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

01--checking for banned person on different script when they join (this works)
02local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
03local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("myDataStore")
04game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
05    local banned
06    banned = DataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-banned")
07    if banned == true then
08        player:Kick("You are banned from this game by the owner!")
09        print(player.Name.." is banned.")
10    else
11        print(player.Name.." is not banned")
12    end
13end)

If it's not working, then it should be printing the "eror" message? If it does print it, do you mind posting it alongside your code? killerbrenden 1537 — 4y

It does not print the error message. TheWaildug 55 — 4y

I rewrote the code and now it works TheWaildug 55 — 4y
