That means “player” is nil, make sure you’re calling the function and passing a valid player object as an argument.

#3

The output log indicates that your complications arise in the isAdmin function, not the findPlayer function. This error is caused by a nil value being passed in as an argument for the isAdmin function. Assuming that it is legal for the player to be a nil value based on your findPlayer function, replace your isAdmin function with the following code.

local function isAdmin(player)
	for _,v in pairs(admins) do
		if v == nil then continue end
		if v == player.Name then
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end

Remember to replace your isAdmin function with this code, not your findPlayer function.
