Currency Giver Command (!give ____ 100)

I am trying to achieve a way to give a certain player a certain amount of levels, or points, anything that is hardcoded inside the script.

Here is my sample code -

--[[
	@author TwinPlayzDev_YT
	@since 3/25/2021
	This script will let a admin, give a certain player a certain ammount of a leaderstat.
--]]

--[ SERVICES ]--

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

--[ MAIN LOCALS ]--

local command = "/give ([%w_]+)" or "/add ([%w_]+)" --this is a string pattern that should match any player username
local Admin = 90228414 -- allowed person

--[ FUNCTIONS ]--

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(localplr)
	localplr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
		

		if localplr.UserId == Admin then
			
			local subjectName = msg:match(command + "%d") -- checking to see if it matches text

			if subjectName then
				local subject = game.Players:FindFirstChild(subjectName)

				if subject then
					local level = subject.Minutes.Value
					
					-- give level here
				end 

			end
		else
			print("not allowed")
		end
		
	end)
end)

What I need help with is wondering how can I add the amount of points or levels at the end of /give (PLAYER) then (NUMBER)

So

atm, I have !give stringpattern that works to get a players name.

If you have any idea how I could attempt to get the certain amount at the end of the command, I couldn’t figure out the right string patterns.

The best tutorial to make an admin commands script: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJE_xTzOdLs

Because to get the amount of thing to give you need multiple arguments.

Use string.split for that

function check(plr)
  local length = string.len(plr)
  for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
    if string.lower(plr) == string.lower(string.sub(v.Name, 1, length)) then
      return true and v.Name
      break
    end
  end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
  plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
    if plr.UserID == 90228414 then
    local nmsg = msg:split()
    if nmsg[1] == "/give" or nmsg[1] == "/add" then
      local r = msg[2]
      local amount = msg[3]
      if check(r) then
        if tonumber(amount) then
          game.Players[v.Name].leaderstats.Coins.Value += tonumber(amount)
        end
      end
    end
  end
  end)
end)

Do this:

local MsgPlr = string.split(msg, " ")
local Plr = MsgPlr[2]
local Giving = MsgPlr[3]
if game.Players:FindFirstChild then
Plr = game.Players[Plr]
if Giving ~= nil then
Plr.leaderstats.level += tonumber(Giving)
end
end

Any way you can get this code to work?

I tried using Split, but I don’t know if im using it in the right way.

Heres an Error :
ServerScriptService.LevelCommand2:34: attempt to perform arithmetic (add) on number and nil

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local command = "/give ([%w_]+)" or "/add ([%w_]+)" --this is a string pattern that should match any player username

		if localplr.UserId == Admin then

			local subjectName = msg:match(command) -- checking to see if it matches text
			local nmsg = subjectName:split()

			if subjectName then
				local subject = game.Players:FindFirstChild(subjectName)

				if subject then
					local level = subject.leaderstats.Minutes.Value
					local amount = nmsg[2]
					
					level += amount
					
				end 

			end
		else
			print("not allowed")
		end

	end)
end)

Try changing this:

local nmsg = string.split(subjectName, " ")
