I'm trying to make a script where you can set a variable as someone's name then it auto completes it.
Ex:
Variable = "Sim"
Output = SimplyJeremy
I've tried using string.match with this but it usually bugs out and prints multiple players. Can someone please give me a better method without string.match?
To do this, you can create a function that checks the beginning of the username of all the players in the game. Here's an example that will print the first name starting with Sim:
function getFullName(Text)
for Index, Player in pairs (game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do --Sort through players
if string.sub(string.lower(Player.Name), 0, string.len(Text)) == string.lower(Text) then --Check if first part of name matches.
return Player.Name --Return the player's name
end
end
end
wait(1)
print(getFullName("Sim"))
Let me know if you need any help!
Much better

Isn't it possible that it's outputting multiple players because multiple players match the pattern "Sim.*"?
