I am trying to make a ban script but it says string expected, got instance on line 22. ???
local banDS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Bans")
local mods = {}
local admins = {476564429}
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local key = "-Banned" .. plr.UserId
local success, val = pcall(function()
return banDS:GetAsync(key)
end)
if(success) then
if(val) then
if(val[2] == true) then
plr:Kick("\n You have been permanently banned. \n Reason: \n" .. val[1])
end
end
else
print("error" .. plr.UserId .. " " .. plr.Name)
warn(val)
end
end)
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").WarnRequest.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, reason)
local text = game.Players[plr].Character.Head.Overhead.Warnings.Text
local wrnings = game.Players[plr].Character.Head.Overhead.Warnings
local amt = game.Players[plr].Warnings
amt.Value = amt.Value + 1
text = "W" .. amt.Value .. " - " .. reason
if amt.Value >= 3 then
game.Players[plr]:Kick("You've reached the maximum number of warnings and have been kicked from the server.")
end
end)
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").BanRequest.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(mod, plr, reason)
if(table.find(mods, mod.UserId)) then
if not plr.UserId == admins then
local key = "-Banned" .. plr.UserId
local success, err = pcall(function()
banDS:SetAsync(key, {reason, true})
end)
plr:Kick("\n You have been permanently banned. \n Reason: \n" .. reason)
end
end
end)
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").UnbanRequest.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(mod, plr, reason)
if(table.find(mods, mod.UserId)) then
local key = "-Banned" .. plr.UserId
local success, err =pcall(function()
banDS:SetAsync(key, {reason, false})
end)
end
end)
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").KickRequest.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(mod, plr, reason)
if(table.find(mods, mod.UserId)) then
if not plr.UserId == admins then
plr:Kick("\n You are kicked from this server. \n Reason: \n " .. reason)
end
end
end)
Now, i got the attempt to concatenate string with Instance error on line 26. Script now:
local banDS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Bans")
local mods = {}
local admins = {476564429}
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local key = "-Banned" .. plr.UserId
local success, val = pcall(function()
return banDS:GetAsync(key)
end)
if(success) then
if(val) then
if(val[2] == true) then
plr:Kick("\n You have been permanently banned. \n Reason: \n" .. val[1])
end
end
else
print("error" .. plr.UserId .. " " .. plr.Name)
warn(val)
end
end)
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").WarnRequest.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, reason)
local text = plr.Character.Head.Overhead.Warnings.Text
local wrnings = plr.Character.Head.Overhead.Warnings
local amt = plr.Warnings
amt.Value = amt.Value + 1
text = "Warning " .. amt.Value .. ": Reason:" .. reason
if amt.Value >= 3 then
plr:Kick("You've reached the maximum number of warnings and have been kicked from the server.")
end
end)
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").BanRequest.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(mod, plr, reason)
if(table.find(mods, mod.UserId)) then
if not plr.UserId == admins then
local key = "-Banned" .. plr.UserId
local success, err = pcall(function()
banDS:SetAsync(key, {reason, true})
end)
plr:Kick("\n You have been permanently banned. \n Reason: \n" .. reason)
end
end
end)
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").UnbanRequest.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(mod, plr, reason)
if(table.find(mods, mod.UserId)) then
local key = "-Banned" .. plr.UserId
local success, err =pcall(function()
banDS:SetAsync(key, {reason, false})
end)
end
end)
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").KickRequest.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(mod, plr, reason)
if(table.find(mods, mod.UserId)) then
if not plr.UserId == admins then
plr:Kick("\n You are kicked from this server. \n Reason: \n " .. reason)
end
end
end)

Because `game.Players[plr].Character.Head.Overhead.Warnings.Text` is not a string but rather a Textbox or something. If you highlight it you'll see the properties in the properties tab, for example if it's a textbox you need a `.Text` at the end. Miniller 562 — 2y

OnServerEvent event gives you the player instance as the first argument, you don't need to do Players[plr] to get the instance, plr is already the player instance itself. You are trying to index Players with an instance and that's why you get the error. You can fix the line and others to:
local text = plr.Character.Head.Overhead.Warnings.Text
