How do I make the commands work even when the players name are in lowercase?

Currently, I have been trying to make an admin commands system, it works fine but the problem is if I write the players name in lowercase, it never works, is there any way for me to make it so even when the players name is written in lowercase it works?

01local headadmins = {''}
02local admins = {''}
03local lowadmins = {''}
04local prefix = "!"
05 
06game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
07    plr.Chatted:Connect(function(eeelol, recipent)
08        local message = string.lower(eeelol)
09        local splitmessage = message:split(" ")
10        local command = splitmessage[1]
11        local maincommand = command:split(prefix)
12 
13        local commandname = maincommand[2]
14 
15        local playername = eeelol:split(" ")[2]
16 
17 
18        --Kick Start
19        if commandname == "kick" then
20            print('they said kick')
21            if splitmessage[2] then
22                for i, v in pairs(admins) do
23                    wait()
24                    if plr.Name == v then
25                        print('plr is admin')
26 
27                        if game.Players:WaitForChild(playername) then
28                            local reasonofkick = eeelol:split(playername)
29                            print("player exists")
30                            game.Players:FindFirstChild(playername):Kick(reasonofkick[2])
31                            print('kicked')
32                        end
33 
34                    end
35                end
36            end
37        end
38        --Kick End
39 
40        --Teleport Start
41        if commandname == "teleport" then
42            if splitmessage[2] then
43                if splitmessage[3] then
44                    for i, v in pairs(lowadmins) do
45                        wait()
46                        if plr.Name == v then
47                            if game.Players:WaitForChild(playername) then
48                                local tpcommandidkfirst = eeelol:split(" ")
49                                game.Workspace:WaitForChild(tpcommandidkfirst[2]):FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(tpcommandidkfirst[3]):FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position
50 
51                            end
52                        end
53                    end
54                end
55            end
56        end
57 
58        --Teleport End

You can use the string.lower() method in order to convert any and all uppercase letter of the player's username to lowercase, you can use this to achieve what you have asked.

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it but I would get a list of all players in the game, then do a for loop with an if statement inside of it.

To give an example:

1local PLAYER_NAME = "Nep_Ryker" -- The player you want to kick
2 
3for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
4    if string.lower(v.Name) == string.lower(PLAYER_NAME) then -- If the lowered case version of v.Name equals to the lowered case version of the player name, then kick
5        v:kick()
6    else
7        print("Player not found!")
8    end
9end

I hope this helped you somewhat.

Use :GetPlayers instead of :GetChildren() because it checks if the child is a PlayerObject MarkedTomato 810 — 3y
