Seems like you want to autocomplete player names?

If you have some string that you want to autocomplete to a list of player names, you can see which player names match like so:

function getPartlyMatching(searchString, list)
    local result = {}

    for _, item in pairs(list) do
        local itemName = tostring(item)
        if string.find(itemName, searchString, 1, true) then
            table.insert(result)
        end
    end

    return result
end

Look up the docs for string.find if that part doesn't make sense to you.

You can then generate a GUI list that shows every matching player, which a button that players can click to automatically fill in the search box.
