Just lower both the chatted input and the player found in players, if there is a match (preferably :match) then you can do some variable magic and make the variable the found player SmartNode 383 — 4y

Okay I will be solving 2 problems simultaneously here, Chatted works best on the server, whilst :Chat() only works on the client. I use the string.match method quite frequently, so I'll use it here. Another problem I found is that your script acted a little oddly, so I'm changing it a little.

SCRIPT IN SERVERSCRIPTSERVICE

Players = game:GetService("Players")

function getPlayer(Args)
    local tab = {}
    for _,plr in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
        if plr.Name:lower():sub(1,Args:lower():len()) == Args:lower() then
            table.insert(tab,#tab+1,plr)
        end
    end
    return tab
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
        local cmd,args = msg:match("(.-) (.+)")
        if cmd:lower() == ":elevator" then
            for i,v in pairs(getPlayer(args)) do
                print(":jail "..v.Name)
            end
        end
    end
end)

Edit: I removed the chat part you were trying to do as I have no idea what your aims are, but you can't make the Players class chat... If this doesn't work, please DM me on Discord. MachoPiggies#3484
