attempt to call method 'Kick' (a nil value)?
I recently got this error whilst practising splitting up strings into commands (I understand this probably isn't the best method when splitting up strings, but it's a start).
Anyway, I get this error:

I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with it, either way here is the entire script:

Could any of you explain what's wrong? Thank you.

You're calling it from the name of the player and not the player itself. DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 5y

The problem is the line: local target, reason = string.match(Message, " (.-) (.+)") since both target and reason come back as nil SerpentineKing 3885 — 5y

The return value of the getPlayer function is a table of players, and not a player. You can't call Kick on a table. There cannot be several players with the same name, so you should just return the first match.
Instead of table.insert(returned, v) just return v.
