Help me with fixing a path issue?

Hi all. So I'm having an issue. Let me explain what the script below is trying to do.

1. An admin says :team1 player1,player2,player3
2. The script takes the players selected, if the player's name was shortened or not capitalized correctly in the chat, it finds the correct player and returns it
3. once the correct player is found, the code changes the player's team

Now this code works perfectly fine except for line 41 which is:

game.Players.playerName.TeamColor = game.Teams['Blue'].TeamColor

where I get this error:

02:56:14.627 - playerName is not a valid member of Players

When I take line 41 out, the code runs seamlessly, except that it doesnt team the player.

I put in the print at line 40 to check what the variable playerName is, and if I return a userdata from the findPlayer function, it prints a brickcolor that corresponds to the team color, and if I return the player's name as a string from the findplayer function, the print at line 40 returns nil, which proves the variable playerName is a string.

However, in both circumstances I get the same error, which is what I posted above.

Any help trying to address this issue would be greatly appreciated. I can go into more detail or clarify things if needed.

Thanks!
