So I finished making my admin commands but currently i would have to type out the whole name of a player
for example i would have to do ;to ohMyGodness9
what i’m trying to do is make it so i only have to say ;to oh
i think this is supposed to be done with string.match but i’m not that good in strings
try using string.find(PATTERN,USERNAME)
full code version
local usernameshort = “test”
for i,v in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers())
if string.find(v.Name,test) then
bla bla
end
end
i’m not sure of this but wouldn’t thi try to find the word “test” inside of the players name and if found continue on with the code?
give me few seconds let me hop on studio
Hello again i did this,
task.wait(5)
local command = “;to mro”
local pattern = string.sub(command,5)
for i,v in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local alllow = string.lower(v.Name)
if string.find(alllow,pattern) then
warn(v.Name)
end
end
it prints out my username which is on the pattern “mro” which completes as mroofman_rblx also i added lowering so if you type ;to MroOfmAn_RbLx it still teleports to me if you should modify it so it works on your script 
wait i might of not have been so clear about what i was trying to do i’m tyring to make it so it does this but for each player so for example someone called noob12345
i would just have to do like ;to noob
( i’m not that good in stuff like this so excuse me if you allready did that)
Soo i made the example version of the code i can make a admin teleport script if you want which i can rn its so easy
making admin tp isn’t rlly the problem i just don’t understand how to use a part of a players name in a command
also if you want to split the command and the players username do:
string.sub(";to ohMyGoodness9",5) --this gives the only username change
string.find("OhMyGoodness9","OhMy") – this is for the pattern
Done i hope this helps you
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- Player Joined A Game
if table.find(Admins,player.UserId) then -- Check If Admin
player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg) -- Admin Chatted
local lowmessage = string.lower(msg) -- Lower the message
if string.find(lowmessage,";to") then -- Check if it has ;to command
local victimplayer = string.sub(lowmessage,5) -- Get the player name from the message
if string.len(victimplayer) >= 2 then -- Check if the username has more then 2 letters since if a missclick happens we don't want any bad thing happening right?
for i,v in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do -- Get all players from the game
if v ~= player then -- Check if the player we are going to teleport to is a admin if not continue
local lowplayername = string.lower(v.Name) -- Lower Players Username
if string.find(lowplayername,victimplayer) then -- Check Patern
player.Character.Torso.CFrame = v.Character.Torso.CFrame -- Teleporting Weeeeeeee
end
end
end
end
end
end)
end
end)local function getplyr(plr, nme)
for _, p in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if (p.Name:sub(1, #nme):lower() == nme:lower()) then
if p.Name ~= plr.Name then
return p
end
end
end
end
Made admin before, here is what I did and still works to this day.
If you have any questions about it, ask away.
Explanation: “person” is a string value that is split up by string:split(). It is the second value in the string. Then all you do is check every player on the server and if there is a match, you change “person” to the player’s full username and send it over to the server.
My grammar isn’t the best, sorry.
for _,v in ipairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
if v.Name:match(person) then
person = v.Name
end
end
local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(person)
Should look like this.
Edit: This version is case-sensitive and I am yet to know how to make it not.
this is uh a really old reply i forgot about this topic but i later found it again by looking how to do the same thing again lol anyways i’ve tried this and it works i’m just wondering are you able to do
local victimplayer = msg:split(" ")[2]
instead of doing local victimplayer = string.sub(lowmessage,5) since i’m more familiar with the first option
