You're using parentheses, not table brackets. https://developer.roblox.com/articles/Table TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 5y

To define a table, you need to use these brackets "{ }" instead of parentheses "( )" since the parentheses are simply used to enclose a string or an operator set together.

Simply change this line

local allowed = ("sbot50")

 local allowed = {"sbot50"}

thanks, this works sbot50 3 — 5y
