How can I make an admin command for changing leaderstats?

Hello,

I am making a game that has 3 leaderstats (TimeAlive, TopTime, and Kills) and I am wondering how I could create an admin command that would give certain people permission to use it.

For example:

:change PlayerName TimeAlive 10000

Output: Changes PlayerName's TimeAlive leaderstat to 10000.

I'm going to have mods and admins in my game, so I want to make sure that I can give it to others as well.

Thank you, epioma

You can use the chatted event to detect what a player says, then using the string.find() and string.split() function to cut up the chat message so you know if it is a command or not and applying the command

https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/Player/Chatted

https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/lua-docs/string

For example;

player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg) -- assuming you already have the player
	if string.find(msg,":change") then -- if they go into the msg and find ":change" then
		local cmd = string.split(msg," ")[1] -- getting the first word that is separated by a space in the msg
		local plrName = string.split(msg," ")[2] -- second one
		local value = string.split(msg," ")[3] -- third
		local changeTo = string.split(msg," ")[4] -- fourth
		local success,err = pcall(function() -- use a pcall to determine if it was valid
			game.Players:FindFirstChild(plrName):FindFirstChild(value).Value = changeTo
		end)
		if success then -- if it worked
			print("successful!") -- successful! yay!
		else -- if not success
			print("error, something went wrong")
			warn(err) -- prints the error message (err)
		end
	end
end)

You can find information for pcalls() and other lua globals here: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/lua-docs/Lua-Globals

Hope this helps and if not then maybe it can lead you in the right direction
