How would you make a ban function in a script?

Asked 1,088 views1 answers

Im trying to add a ban function to my holo commands(I released them on a different account) and I have some questions, first is how in general would this be performed(I have a sketch of something I think it would look like but its not very much) anyways, any help is greatly appreciated.

local admins ={"",}-- What Users(Needs to be EXACT)
local bans = {"ProphetCybrax"}
local gid = 0 -- What group THIS IS NEEDED
local gidranks = {0,0,0,0} -- What Ranks you want NEEDED
--Dont Mess with the Below --
--
function contains(list, element)
    for _, value in pairs(list) do
        if value == element then
            return true
        end
    end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Xd)
	if contains(bans, Xd.Name) then
		for _,i in pairs(bans)do
			if Xd.Name == i then
				Xd:Kick()
			end
		end
	end
end)

You need to be able to add players to the ban list in game, so do a player.Chatted(msg) function for it. But it looks good.

your not supposed to be able to ban people in game just yet, this is just a holo commands script.

Well, I do not know any other ways to ban, other than :remove() (performed on the player). You have got it sorted :) If you need help making an in game ban command, refer to me :)

First, we need to detect things that are chatted. Let's look up the Chatted event on the wiki.

It redirected me here. Let's use that:

local admins ={} -- UserIds
local bannedPlayers = {} UserIds
local groupId = 0 -- What group THIS IS NEEDED
local minimumRanks = {0, 0, 0, 0} -- What Ranks you want NEEDED

checkRank = function(plrID)
	for a, admin in pairs(admins) do
		if admin == plrID then
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	if function( for a, v in pairs(bannedPlayers) do if v == player.UserId then return true end end return false end) then
	-- If the user is banned when they join, kick them
		player:Kick()
	end
	player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
		if checkRank(player) then
			if msg:find("ban") then
				local banPlrName = msg:match("ban%s(.+)")

				for a, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
					if v.Name == banPlrName then
						bannedPlayers[#bannedPlayers + 1] = v.UserId
						v:Kick()
					end
				end

			end
		end
	end)
end)
