Give points command script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have made a command that can give players points in the game. I am wanting to make it where I don’t have to type the whole username in and I could just type the first few characters. Could anyone help me with this?

Script 
local GroupId = 5952287 --GroupId
local MinimumRankToUseCommand = 250 --Rank to use this command

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	if Player:GetRankInGroup(GroupId) >= MinimumRankToUseCommand then
		Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message)
			local Words = string.split(Message, " ")

			if Words[1] == ":givepoint" then
				local NameOfPlayerToGivePoint = Words[2]
				local AmountOfPointsToGive = Words[3]
				
				local PlayerToGivePoint = game.Players:FindFirstChild(NameOfPlayerToGivePoint)
				
				if PlayerToGivePoint then
					PlayerToGivePoint.leaderstats.Points.Value = PlayerToGivePoint.leaderstats.Points.Value + AmountOfPointsToGive
				end
			end
		end)
	end
end)

You can get the rest of a players username by looping through each player in game and then using string.sub to check if your parameter = player name.

Here is a function I made for it:

function Check(name)
	name = name:lower()
	for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if v.Name:lower():sub(1,#name) == name then
			return v.Name
		end
	end
end

Check(NameOfPlayerToGivePoint)

Ok. Just to make sure I am putting it in the correct spot where would I put it?

#4

Put it near the top of your script before the PlayerAdded function.

Ok. I have put it above the PlayerAdded function and when I am putting “:givepoint kja 1” it is not working for me but I am getting no error messages.

This is what it looks like now.

local GroupId = 5952287 --GroupId
local MinimumRankToUseCommand = 250 --Rank to use this command


function Check(name)
	name = name:lower()
	for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if v.Name:lower():sub(1,#name) == name then
			return v.Name
		end
	end
end


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	if Player:GetRankInGroup(GroupId) >= MinimumRankToUseCommand then
		Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message)
			local Words = string.split(Message, " ")

			if Words[1] == ":givepoint" then
				local NameOfPlayerToGivePoint = Words[2]
				local AmountOfPointsToGive = Words[3]
				
				local PlayerToGivePoint = game.Players:FindFirstChild(NameOfPlayerToGivePoint)
				
				if PlayerToGivePoint then
					PlayerToGivePoint.leaderstats.Points.Value = PlayerToGivePoint.leaderstats.Points.Value + AmountOfPointsToGive
				end
			end
		end)
	end
end)

You have to use the Check function and pass NameOfPlayerToGivePoint as a parameter. It will then return the player’s full name.
