Could someone help me with an admin command that explodes?

I am trying to make an admin command system but, I can't seem to get anything to work! Here are a couple examples:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
        if(msg == ":explode") then
            local splode = Instance.new("Explosion")
            splode.Parent = player.Torso
            splode.BlastPressure = 500000
            splode.BlastRadius = 4
            splode.DestroyJointRadiusPercent = 1
            splode.ExplosionType = "Craters"
            splode.Visible = true
            splode.Archivable = true
        end
    end)
end)
-- Breaks the chat

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
        if msg == ":explode" then
            local splode = Instance.new("Explosion")
            splode.Parent = player.Torso
            splode.BlastPressure = 500000
            splode.BlastRadius = 4
            splode.DestroyJointRadiusPercent = 1
            splode.ExplosionType = "Craters"
            splode.Visible = true
            splode.Archivable = true
        end
    end)
end)
-- Also breaks the chat

I've tried and tried but nothing is working!

If someone could give me some sort of tutorial (As tutorials I've tried are most likely outdated because they don't work) in the answers that would be very appreciated thank you!

You should try to test it in-game when you're testing chat scripts, for some reason the chat also bugs in studio for me.

I tested your script ( from a server script ) and I noticed that you're trying to access the player torso through the player variable which the PlayerAdded event gave to you, that won't work, you should access it by going on the player's char and accessing it from there, also :connect is deprecated so try to use :Connect instead.

So you should add a variable 'char' on your script so you can access the player's char easily, such as: ( needs to be below the PlayerAdded or Chatted function )

local Char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()

and then you can easily access the torso with that, you'd need to change splode.Parent = player.Torso to splode.Parent = Char.Torso

It seems that you're also trying to put the explosion position to the player's position but you actually didn't, you can set It's position to the player's humanoid by using

splode.Position = Char.HumanoidRootPart.Position -- ( or Char.Torso.Position) 

Also just to prevent you from doing :Explode or :EXPLODE and it not working, you can use string.lower to prevent things like this from happening, so the player doesn't need to type exactly ":explode" without caps and things like so for it to work.

For that to be solved you'd need to modify:

if(msg == ":explode") then

to

if(string.lower(msg) == ":explode") then

Hopefully those solve your issue! Make sure to accept the answer if it did. :)
