How would I find a specific child determined on it being equal to the parent of a clicked model?

Asked 188 views1 answers
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local Players = game.Players:GetChildren()
local contraband = player:WaitForChild('Illegal').Contraband
local SearchedPlayer = game.Players:FindFirstChild("Player1")


function SearchPerson()
	if mouse.target ~= nil then
if mouse.target.Parent.Name == SearchedPlayer.Name then
print ('This person is in players')


print ("Searching " ..mouse.Target.Parent.Name .. " for illegal substances")



end
end
end

mouse.Button1Down:connect(SearchPerson)

everything works fine when player1 is in the brackets, but I don't have enough knowledge to figure out how to make it equal to the mouse target parent! I'm stumped! Thank you!!!

Try this it loops through all players inside game.Players, and checks if the NAME is equal.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local Players = game.Players:GetChildren()
local contraband = player:WaitForChild('Illegal').Contraband



function SearchPerson()
    if mouse.Target ~= nil then
	for _,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren() do
	    if mouse.Target.Parent.Name == v.Name then
		local selectedPlayer = v
		local character = selectedPlayer.Character

	        print ('This person is in players')
	        print ("Searching " ..v.Name .. " for illegal substances")
	    end
	end
    end
end

mouse.Button1Down:connect(SearchPerson)
