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

Asked 180 views1 answers

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?

local headadmins = {''}
local admins = {''}
local lowadmins = {''}
local prefix = "!"

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.Chatted:Connect(function(eeelol, recipent)
		local message = string.lower(eeelol)
		local splitmessage = message:split(" ")
		local command = splitmessage[1]
		local maincommand = command:split(prefix)
		
		local commandname = maincommand[2]
		
		local playername = eeelol:split(" ")[2]
		
		
		--Kick Start
		if commandname == "kick" then
			print('they said kick')
			if splitmessage[2] then
				for i, v in pairs(admins) do
					wait()
					if plr.Name == v then
						print('plr is admin')

						if game.Players:WaitForChild(playername) then
							local reasonofkick = eeelol:split(playername)
							print("player exists")
							game.Players:FindFirstChild(playername):Kick(reasonofkick[2])
							print('kicked')
						end

					end
				end
			end
		end
		--Kick End
		
		--Teleport Start
		if commandname == "teleport" then
			if splitmessage[2] then
				if splitmessage[3] then
					for i, v in pairs(lowadmins) do
						wait()
						if plr.Name == v then
							if game.Players:WaitForChild(playername) then
								local tpcommandidkfirst = eeelol:split(" ")
								game.Workspace:WaitForChild(tpcommandidkfirst[2]):FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(tpcommandidkfirst[3]):FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position
								
							end
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
		
		--Teleport End
		
		
	end)
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:

local PLAYER_NAME = "Nep_Ryker" -- The player you want to kick

for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
	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
		v:kick()
	else
		print("Player not found!")
	end
end

I hope this helped you somewhat.

Use :GetPlayers instead of :GetChildren() because it checks if the child is a PlayerObject
