I am trying to create admin commands for a game I am trying to make and IDK what to do?
admins = {"HydroDivinity"}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(pl)
for i,v in pairs(admins) do
if v == pl.Name then
pl.Chatted:connect(function(mes)
if mes:sub(1,4) == "add " then
print(pl.Name.." is running the "..mes:sub(1,3).." command")
if mes:sub(5,7) == "c " then
print(pl.Name.." is changing somebody's coin-value")
end
end
end)
end
end
end)
Alright, so basically, I have a gui in-game for currency. I want admins to be able to change people's currency depending on what they write on the cmd.
For example;
add c HydroDivinity 6
Not sure how to make "HydroDivinity" come before the 6 value

There are a few ways to do this, but I think the best way would be to use string patterns.
I will use the pattern (%w+) (%d+)%s*$. This translates to:\
look for the word add and a space
look for multiple alphanumeric characters (A-z, 0-9) at least one and save it (parenthesis make it a capture group)
look for multiple digits at least one and save it
look for any whitespace, okay if I don't find any
end of string
$
Let's try this out (you can do so online with the lua demo site here) with some code.
str = "add kools 10" name, amount = str:match("(%w+) (%d+)$") print(name) print(amount)...
kools
10
Cool, let's apply this to your code.
pl.Chatted:connect(function(mes)
if mes:sub(1,4) == "add" then
name, value = mes:match("(%w+) (%d+)$") -- If there is no match, this will be nil.
if name and value then
print(pl.Name.." is changing "..name.."'s coin value by ".. value)
end
end
end)
You can of course adapt these patterns to work better for yourself, and use them when determining change as well because it has the same form.
