Admin Script help needed

#1

I am trying to create an admin script but i keep getting the same error

Error - invalid argument #1 to ‘pairs’ (table expected, got nil)

                    Code
                   \/\/\/

print("TP Function fired by"..sender.Name)
for i, playerName in pairs(arguments) do
	print(playerName)
end

Any help will be great.

I am not certain, but I believe the error is caused by an issue with the table called, arguments.
It looks like the table called, arguments is nil, which causes the loop to output an error.

#3

The arguments variable is nil when the loop is being created.

Make sure that you’re arguments variable is an array/table of some sort.

do you know how to fix this. I know its with the table

#5

It is as the error states: arguments is nil at the time when the loop is used.

Make sure you set the variable *before` the loop is executed to prevent issues.

Mind sending the whole script?
As everyone said the table argument is nil.

#7

if the full code is this;

print("TP Function fired by"..sender.Name)
for i, playerName in pairs(arguments) do
	print(playerName)
end

that is definitely not going to work.

you need to have a player.Chatted event being listened to, and from that event handle the TP command.

Spoonfeeding 
player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
    arguments = msg.split(" ")
    if string.lower(arguments[1]) == "tp" then
        table.remove(arguments,1)
        for i, playername in pairs(string.split(arguments[1],",")) do
            print(playername)
        end
    end
end)
