Using FindFirstChild without upper and lower case?
Hi!
Im currently making a room giver for a hotel of a friend. The receptionist will then type "giveroom PLAYERNAME" in the chat. This is a part of my script:
1 | local plrtogive = msg:sub(10) |
2 | if game.Players:FindFirstChild(plrtogive) then |
3 | print("Opening give GUI for " .. plrtogive) |
4 | end |
The problem is: when i type "giveroom OKRPLAY" in the chat everything works fine. When i type "giveroom okrplay", it dosent find it.
It is possible to use FindFirstChild without upper and lower case?

Technically no, but you can get around this by comparing all Players' names in lowercase (or uppercase, but lower is more common) instead of directly looking for one:
1 | local playerToGive = msg:sub(10):lower() |
2 | for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do |
3 | if player.Name:lower() == playerToGive then |
4 | print("Opening give GUI for " .. player.Name) |
5 | break |
6 | end |
7 | end |
