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.
01 | local BannedList = { |
02 | ["PlayerX"] = true; |
03 | ["PlayerY"] = true; |
04 | ["PlayerZ"] = true; |
05 | } |
06 |
07 | function NewPlayer(pl) |
08 | if BannedList[pl.Name] then |
09 | wait() |
10 | pl:Kick(); |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 |
14 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(NewPlayer) |
15 | table.foreach(game.Players:GetPlayers(), function(i,v) NewPlayer(v) end) |

First thing to do is Access the players by using the method, :GetPlayers.
1 | local players=game.Players:GetPlayers() |
Now that only access the Players, how do we actually access a certain player? By the pairs function.
1 | local players=game.Players:GetPlayers() |
2 |
3 | script.Parent.FocusLost:connect(function() |
4 | for i,v in pairs( players ) do |
5 | if script.Parent.Text==v.Name then |
6 | game.Players:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Text):Kick() |
7 | end |
8 | end |
9 | end) |
The FocusedLost event fires when the current TextBox is unFocused(by pressing the Enter key)

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