Does anyone know how to make this auto fill text box?

✓ Accepted answer

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.
