How can I kick a player from a non-local script?

Asked 2,456 views2 answers

What I'm trying to do is kick players by typing in their name and clicking to kick. But the error that keep popping up is "Cannot kick a non-local Player from a LocalScript", which means, it only allows me to kick myself but not others... Any help?

--Made by IIApexGamerII, all credits go to Creator.
local VanGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
local Van = Instance.new("Frame")
local idk = Instance.new("TextBox")
local dsa = Instance.new("TextButton")

VanGui.Name = "Kick"
VanGui.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui

Van.Name = "Kick"
Van.Parent = VanGui 
Van.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0.235294, 0.235294, 0.235294)
Van.BorderColor3 = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
Van.Position = UDim2.new(0, 5, 0.8, 0)
Van.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 45)

idk.Name = "idk"
idk.Parent = Van
idk.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0.235294, 0.235294, 0.235294)
idk.BorderColor3 = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
idk.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 20)
idk.Font = Enum.Font.SciFi
idk.FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size14
idk.Text = "Username"
idk.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
idk.TextScaled = true
idk.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
idk.TextWrapped = true

dsa.Name = "dsa"
dsa.Parent = Van
dsa.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0.235294, 0.235294, 0.235294)
dsa.BorderColor3 = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
dsa.Position = UDim2.new(0, 0, 1, -25)
dsa.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 25)
dsa.Font = Enum.Font.SciFi
dsa.FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size14
dsa.Text = "Kick a Player"
dsa.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
dsa.TextScaled = true
dsa.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
dsa.TextWrapped = true


dsa.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
wait(0.2)
game.Players[idk.Text]:Kick("You were kicked by "..game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name..".")
end)

I would gladly appreciate it.

you have to create a string value so that when you click the button, that string would be their name and after that you should make sure from a regular script to kick them

The reason this is happening is to prevent exploiters, so that people don't kick other players.

For this you would use a RemoteEvent

The server will handle it and kick the player. Put a remote event in the replicated storage named KickPlayer

LocalScript

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("KickPlayer")
ReplicatedStorage.KickPlayer:FireServer(idk.Text)

Script

	
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("KickPlayer")
ReplicatedStorage.KickPlayer.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,name)
	local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(name)
	if plr and plr:IsA("Player") then
		plr:Kick("You were kicked by "..player.Name..".")
	end
end)

But whatever you do, BE CAREFUL. A malicious player can fire the remote event and use it to kick other players, so whatever you're doing, don't give the client too much power, and make sure that the player who fired the event is allowed to do that.

It still brings up the same error, but thanks though.
