What exactly are you trying to do?

#3

Getting the player the I mention e.g. :clear CurrencyType that only I want to do
image

#4

game:GetService(“Players”):WaitForChild(fullusername)

#5

But I think string is not defind I think this is a args

#6

Okay but how do I know if the player typed

#7

Add this:

      if Args[3] then
            local Victims = returnPlayers(Player, Args[3]) if not Victims then return end
			local combinedVictims = ''
			for a,b in pairs(Victims) do
				if combinedVictims == '' then
					combinedVictims = b.Name
				else
					combinedVictims = combinedVictims..', '..b.Name
				end
			end
			for a,b in next,Victims do
                        --b is the players instance.
        end
#8

Where do I need to put my code?

#9

In the pluginFunction function.

#10

Is this in plugin function? Right?

#11

Like I just said, yes. It is in the pluginFunction.

You will obviously still have to code the reset part of your code.
(Shameless plug here, but my overhead system PurpleTag | Overhead Tag provides an event for that)

#12

So I can get the player name right?

      if Args[3] then
            local Victims = returnPlayers(Player, Args[3]) if not Victims then return end
			local combinedVictims = ''
			for a,b in pairs(Victims) do
				if combinedVictims == '' then
					combinedVictims = b.Name
				else
					combinedVictims = combinedVictims..', '..b.Name
				end
			end
			for a,b in next,Victims do
                        print(b.Name)
        end
end
#13

add another end and it should be all good, yeah.

#14

This is right now.

#15

Well, test it out, see if it’s erroring or not.

#16

BTW if I do this :clear Curren it will work right?
And also :clear Curren, Oji

#17

Yes, but don’t put a space between Curren and Oji, it would be run like :clear curren,oji.

#18

Okay thanks, BTW if I want a new plugin I just need to copy the module script right?

#19

Yep, I would suggest naming them for organizational purposes though.

#20

Okay. Last question why it’s not Args[1] or Args[2]?
