The following code always returns nil which is there error(there is more into the script but this is what I need to be fixed)
function SearchPlr(text)
for i, v in next,game.Players:GetPlayers() do
if string.find(v.Name,"^"..text) then
return v.Name:lower()
end
end
end
No matter what I do v:lower() or v.Name:lower() it always returns nil =/
You should use a lowercase version of both the search text and the text to be searched in:
if v.Name:lower():find( "^" .. text:lower() ) then
Though, instead of using find and the caret, it might be wiser to just use substrings:
if v.Name:sub(1, #text):lower() == text:lower() then
Sure, I can.
function SearchPlr(Text) --Your function.
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do --Gets all the players in the game.
if v.Name:lower():find(Text:lower()) or v.Name:lower() == Text:lower() then --See's if the player's name matches the Text or has part of the Player name as the text.
return v.Name:lower() --Returns the player name lowered.
end
end
end
That's what I have? v is returned as nil always.
You talking about mine or his?
Nvm I see what you did xD
Say if I matched it to my name and got it to use the kick function on me, would it work?
Please don't just post code, but an explanation as well.
Yes it would work, and i did explain my code..?
Wow someone game me -1 Reputation for my work .-.

Wouldn't I use: if v.Name:sub(1, string.len(text)):lower() == text:lower() then -- string.len() because text isn't a table.
works on both strings and tables to mean their length. It's much briefer, and I believe less expensive, so I prefer it.
