Roleplay Name - How to filter bad words and specific words?
Hi!
I was wondering how could I prevent players from using specific words such has "Naruto" or "Bob Ross" and also filter bad words in any kind of Roleplay Name changer?
I know there is Chat-Filtering for custom chats scripts but I couldn't find any for simple Name Changing systems.

This is a simple example. There are probably more sophisticated ways but here you go. I use string.find(string, searchString). string is the name and searchString is the banned word. You'll have to do the fine tuning yourself.
local BannedWords = {"Naruto", "Bob Ross"}
local function CreateName(nameChangedTo)
local isBadName = false
for _,banned in pairs(BannedWords) do
--use string:lower() so all text are lowercased
if string.find(nameChangedTo:lower(), banned:lower()) then
isBadName = true
end
end
if not isBadName then
print("Yep, name is good to go")
else
print("Nope, bad name!")
end
end
CreateName("Naruto Who?") --"Nope, bad name!"
CreateName("Bob Ross Who?") --"Nope, bad name!"
CreateName("naruto") --"Nope, bad name!"
CreateName("NNarutoooooo") --"Nope, bad name!"
CreateName("Bob Rose") --"Yep, name is good to go"
CreateName("Bobby Rossu") --"Yep, name is good to go"
