How do I add a player to a table in a script when a TextBox contains their name?
I have a script for manually putting a player in the banlist in ROBLOX Studio, but I'm wondering how I could add people to the banlist in-game using a TextBox.
local BannedList = {
["PlayerX"] = true;
["PlayerY"] = true;
["PlayerZ"] = true;
}
function NewPlayer(pl)
if BannedList[pl.Name] then
wait()
pl:Kick();
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(NewPlayer)
table.foreach(game.Players:GetPlayers(), function(i,v) NewPlayer(v) end)

First thing to do is Access the players by using the method, :GetPlayers.
local players=game.Players:GetPlayers()
Now that only access the Players, how do we actually access a certain player? By the pairs function.
local players=game.Players:GetPlayers()
script.Parent.FocusLost:connect(function()
for i,v in pairs( players ) do
if script.Parent.Text==v.Name then
game.Players:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Text):Kick()
end
end
end)
The FocusedLost event fires when the current TextBox is unFocused(by pressing the Enter key)

kicking is easy-yet he wants to know how to ban. unmiss 337 — 8y

This might work;
table.insert(BannedList, #BannedList+1, TextBox.Text)
Just run that right after having gotten input from the textbox.
