More admin help?
earlier I asked a question about admin commands and someone told me to look at a wiki article and come back if I had questions. I have a question about a command i want to make and here is what I tried to do:
local isAdmin = {["OceanFizFiz"] = true,}
function findPlayer(name)
for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.Name:lower() == name:lower() then
return player
end
end
end
function onChatted(message, player)
if message:sub(1, 5) == "kill/" and isAdmin[player.Name] then
victim = findPlayer(message:sub(6))
if victim and victim.Character then
victim.Character:BreakJoints()
end
end
if message:sub(1,5) = "stop/" and isAdmin[player.Name] then
victim = findPlayer(message:sub(6)
if victim and victim.Character then
local parts = victim.Character:GetChildren()
for i = 1,#parts do
parts[i].Anchored = true
end
end
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:connect(function(message) onChatted(message, player) end)
end)
i wanted to make a command that stops a player so they can’t move. I think the anchor part of things would do that but it didn’t work for me. Can someone tell me why it didn’t work please?

There are a few mistakes in this piece of code. I have pointed them out with comments in a fixed version of your script. Look at the comments so you know what you did, and you can learn from it.
local isAdmin = {["OceanFizFiz"] = true,}
function findPlayer(name)
for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.Name:lower() == name:lower() then
return player
end
end
end
function onChatted(message, player)
if message:sub(1, 5) == "kill/" and isAdmin[player.Name] then
victim = findPlayer(message:sub(6))
if victim and victim.Character then
victim.Character:BreakJoints()
end
elseif message:sub(1,5) == "stop/" and isAdmin[player.Name] then --two =’s to compare
victim = findPlayer(message:sub(6)
if victim and victim.Character then
local parts = victim.Character:GetChildren()
for i = 1,#parts do
if parts[i]:IsA(“Part”) then --you must check if it is a part first
parts[i].Anchored = true
end
end
end
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:connect(function(message) onChatted(message, player) end)
end)
Try this out, and if you have more trouble, just ask.

This is a bit off topic, but the way you find players will only find the player with the exact, lowercased name that you inputted. Replace your findPlayers function with this:
function findPlayer(name)
for _,player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player and player.Name:lower():find(name:lower()) end then
return player
end
end
end
local isAdmin = {["OceanFizFiz"] = true,}
function findPlayer(name)
for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.Name:lower() == name:lower() then
return player
end
end
end
function onChatted(message, player)
if message:sub(1, 5) == "kill/" and isAdmin[player.Name] then
victim = findPlayer(message:sub(6))
if victim and victim.Character then
victim.Character:BreakJoints()
end
end
if message:sub(1,5) == "stop/" and isAdmin[player.Name] then
victim = findPlayer(message:sub(6))
if victim and victim.Character then
local parts = victim.Character:GetChildren()
for i = 1,#parts do
if parts[i]:IsA("Part") then
parts[i].Anchored = true
end
end
end
end
if message:sub(1,9) == "continue/" and isAdmin[player.Name] then -- this is an Added command To make it easier for you >:D
victim = findPlayer(message:sub(6))
if victim and victim.Character then
local parts = victim.Character:GetChildren()
for i = 1,#parts do
if parts[i]:IsA("Part") then
parts[i].Anchored = false
end
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:connect(function(message) onChatted(message, player) end)
end)
end
end
