IDEA look at this image. Could the player be making it where the moderator gets banned??

Pcall(), xpcall() and ypcall() Tutorial - How do they work?

Welcome curious Developers! In this tutorial, I’ll be explaining how pcall() and xpcall() functions work and what happened to ypcall(). Let’s start pcall() pcall() is short for P rotected Call , if the code inside of this function has an error it will yield until the attached function run without any issues and won’t stop the rest of the script. It also returns two values: A bool one and a variant one. local boolValue, variantValue = pcall(function() -- 1 -- this code is protected end) …

Here is a handy guide. They work like anonymous functions.

local success, value = pcall(function(number)

return number + 5


end, 20)

print("pcall returns", success, value)

In this example, value is 25.

So practically we may do something like this:

local Success, ErrorMessage = pcall(function(banUserId)
 BanDataStore:SetAsync(banUserId, true)

 end, Name.UserId)

I also noticed that for some reason you are trying to add “Player” to the ban datastore? I figured that was a bug?

[DeveloperCoolBoi]

Nope, I fixed it. I just had to make the Player into Name.UserID in the :setasync

I guess that was the real bug. At any rate, be careful of scope leaking. I have no idea why it was possibly also banning every player, which sounds like a major issue.

[DeveloperCoolBoi]

What’s scope leaking? Adding characters

all i can really suggest is to use hdadmin. it is a bit buggy when it comes to bans (you cant re-ban someone after unbanning them unless you update the game and restart the servers), but itd certainly solve your problem.

[DeveloperCoolBoi]

Hmmm, I’m not fully sure if that’s true. I’ll test it out I’ll make a unban command. Then I’ll ban him then unban him and then ban him again. Let me see if it would work.

[DeveloperCoolBoi]

Time to use my brain to see how to make a unban commnad.

[DeveloperCoolBoi]

I think you mean when I do the unban command I’m going to set it to RemoveAsync where I’m actually going to set the value to false.

This topic is about a ban command, not a unban command. If you need help with your unban command, open a different post.

I think its fine because it is still related to that piece of code. The only time it is not acceptable is asking for how to make a lightsaber code on a question about doors.
