So I am just trying to figure out how to use it to shorten usernames (I believe it can do that) in like admin commands for example. Any answers?

you can use

if string.sub(message:lower(),1,5) == "/kill" then
  local PlayerSelect = string.sub(message:lower(),7)

for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if v.Name == PlayerSelect then
v.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0
end
end
end

like that
