I get no errors on the Dev. Console, I've even put prints before the very first variable, and not even that prints onto the console.

01local Admins = script.Admins
02local Crash = script.CrashScript
03local Players = game:GetService("Players")
04 
05function AdminCheck(checkAdmin)
06 
07    local Check = Admins:GetChildren()
08 
09    for i = 1, #Check do
10 
11        if Admin[i].Name == checkAdmin then return true
12 
13        else return false  
14        end
15    end
16end
17 
18Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Client)
19 
20    if Admins:FindFirstChild(Client.Name) == true then
21 
22        Client.Chatted:connect(function(Chat)
23 
24            if string.sub(Chat, 1, 9):lower() == ":crashban" then
25 
26                local Noob = string.sub(Chat, 11):lower()
27                print ("Noob: ", Noob)
28 
29                for i, v in pairs(Players:GetChildren()) do
30 
31                    if string.sub(v.Name, 1, string.len(Noob)):lower() == string.sub(Noob, 1):lower()  and not AdminCheck(v.Name, false) then
32 
33                        local CrashBan = Crash:Clone()
34                              CrashBan.Parent = v.Backpack
35                              CrashBan.Disabled = false
36 
37                    else print ("[Crash-Ban] Erorr: " .. Noob .. " is an Admin, unable to continue.")
38                    end
39                end
40            else
41            end
42        end)
43    else
44    end
45end)

Try changing line 20 to `if Admins:FindFirstChild(Client.Name) then` 2eggnog 981 — 10y

No difference. However, the part that baffles me is if I put a print at line 1, it will never post on the Dev Console, it's as if the script isn't executing at all. Sectarian 5 — 10y

It might be possible that your script is disabled. What type of script is this? And where is it located?

Also your admincheck function returns false after the first iteration, so if the player you check is not the first object's name in script.Admins, then it will be false no matter what. Put the return false after the loop as well as fixing line 20.

It's a Global Script located in ServerScriptStorage. It's not disabled. And, alright, I'll do that. Thanks for the suggestions, however, you seem to be ignoring the main issue guys. It never executes. Lua reads through a script the executes from the bottom up. Before any functions, variables, etc. I've put a simple print, and not even that works. Sectarian 5 — 10y

ServerScriptService or ServerStorage? You mixed them together. If it's located in the former and adding a print to line 1 doesn't output anything in the server console, then can you take a SS of your studio window while showing the script object in SSS (selected so we can also see the properties). jakedies 315 — 10y

Not sure what you said, but it works now. I rewrote it and it worked for whatever reason. And scripts do run from SSS. I'll give you guys a check for trying though. I appreciate it. Sectarian 5 — 10y

I was just confused as you said ServerScriptStorage, whether you were implyingServerStorage or ServerScriptService. Alright glad to see you got it fixed. jakedies 315 — 10y
