Chatted script having problems?
The problem area is lines 16-22, where it won't find the player that I'm talking about. The command I would use would be /awarp 001 CardboardRocks to award 1 PP to CardboardRocks. Any ideas as to why this isn't working?
keyword = "/awarp"
local PointsService = Game:GetService("PointsService")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player:WaitForDataReady()
pointsToAward = PointsService:GetAwardablePoints()
player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
if string.find(msg:lower(), keyword) then
print("Found "..keyword)
a = msg:sub(8, 11)
print(a)
c = msg:sub(12, msg:len())
playerschildren = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i, v in pairs(playerschildren) do
if c == v then
print("Through")
d = playerschildren[v]
print(d.Name)
else
print("Not")
end
end
if pointsToAward > 0 then
game:GetService("PointsService"):AwardPoints(d.userId, a)
end
end
end)
end)

I believe it's supposed to be "v.Name" Shawnyg 4330 — 10y

Protip: `#str` is the same as `str:len()`; `sub`'s second parameter is optional and `sub` defaults to taking remainder of string. In any case, specifying `-1` is the same as specifying `#str`! BlueTaslem 18071 — 10y

In your loop, v is a child from the list of players. As such it will be a Player instance. However, c is a string. Since they have different types, the comparison on line 16 will always fail.
We need to compare v's Name with c. It would also be more robust to do this case insensitive, so we should use something like:
if v.Name:lower() == c:lower() then

Thank you so much! I finally got it to work changing some other stuff around plus this! CardboardRocks 215 — 10y
