Hello. I am trying to make admin commands for my game, and I would like to know how to get the character from the message. Here is my code.

if args[1] == prefix.."teleport" then
	args[2].Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = args[2].Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,3,0)
end

The args and prefix variable are defined above.

Assuming you wanted to use an abbreviation for your second argument you could use a function like this to check if player exists from the abbreviation you gave in the second argument and then handle teleportation from there.

local function getPlayerFromAbbreviation(abv)
	for _,v in pairs (game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
		if string.sub(string.lower(v.Name), 1, string.len(abv)) == string.lower(abv) then
			return v
		end
	end
	return nil
end

print(getPlayerFromAbbreviation("azl").Name) -- "azlentic"
