How can I match a string with an existing player?
I tried this:
local plrs = game.Players:GetPlayers
function findPlayer(message,speaker)
if (string.sub(message,1,5) == "kill/" and (string.sub(message,7) == plrs.Name then
print("kaboom.")
end
This script is trying to match a chat message with an object, but this won't work.

Line1: ':GetPlayers' should be ':GetPlayers()" it is a function, don't forget the parentheses. UniversalDreams 205 — 7y

If you're trying to find who said that then you should use Chatted. StoIid 364 — 7y

You seem to not understand how tables work, or the function GetChildren/GetPlayers. User#11440 120 — 7y
