I am trying to make a command, so if you say [kill littelbigblox] it kills littelbigblox. The error is that Child is not a Child of Players. How would i fix this?
player.Chatted:connect(function(message)
if message == "[kill "..game.Players.Child.."]" then --Kill Command
local name = string.sub(message,1,#message - 1)
game.Players:FindFirstChild(name).Character.Head:Destroy()
end
end)
The Chatted event is useful for many things, such as making commands. However, your script cannot do anything with game.Players.Child because it is nonexistent. To correctly find players, you need to use a function to iterate through the Players.GetPlayers() list.
--Credit where credit is due
--This script is found on the ROBLOX wiki, cited below.
function findPlayer(name) --This function iterates through each player.
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.Name:lower() == name:lower() then
return player
end
end
end
Chat Commands from the wiki. Use this link to refine your code.
player.Chatted:connect(function(message)
if message == string.sub("[kill ",1,6) then
local name = string.sub(message,7,#message - 1)
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.Name:lower() == name:lower() then
game.Players.FindFirstChild(name).Character.Head:Destroy()
end
end
end
end)

It doesnt work if i say [kill littelbigblox]
Ack... I'd just replicate the code on the ROBLOX wiki (that i posted above) and edit it so it's your own command.
