Finding a player through a TextBox?
I tried making a script that finds a player through a textbox, but it won't work. Any help?
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
local target = script.Parent.Parent.NewTeamPlayerBox.Text
for _, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
if player.Name:lower() == target:lower() then
print("hi")
end
end
end)

easy.
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() --function the click event, when someone clicks the button.
local Target = script.Parent.Parent.NewTeamPlayerBox.Text --variable "Target" will be used to indicate the text in the textbox.
for Index, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do --"Player" will be used to indicate the children of game.Players
if Player.Name:lower() == Target:lower() then --when they lower the text, it will check if the text matches the players name.
print("hi") --print hi if it matches the players name.
end
end
end)
instead of having to use
game:GetService("Players")
you can just use
game.Players
since Players is already listed in the explorer.
