Currently working on a new rp game. The thing is i’m trying to create a /give script but something is wrong. If there is anyone to help me please help.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local p = plr.Data.FirstName.Value
local Character = workspace:FindFirstChild(p)

plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
	plr.Chatted:connect(function(msg,Targ)
		local Target = string.sub(msg, 7,30)
		local first = string.sub(msg, 1,5)
		if first == "/give" then
			if workspace:FindFirstChild(Target) then
				local Tool = char:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
				local GivePlayer = workspace:FindFirstChild(Target)
				if Tool.Enabled then
					Tool.Parent = game.Players:FindFirstChild(Target).Backpack
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end)

end)

Sub returns a table of each letter so you would have to do split instead which returns the words

plr.Chatted:connect(function(msg,Targ)
	local splitMsg= string.split(msg, " ")
	local Target = splitMsg[3]
    local givePlayer = game.Player:FindFirstChild(splitMsg[2])
	local first = splitMsg[1]
	if first and Target and givePlayer and first == "/give" then
        local tool = WHEREEVER YOU KEEP YOUR TOOLS:FindFirstChild(Target)
        if tool then
             tool:Clone().Parent = givePlayer.Backpack
        end
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local p = plr.Data.FirstName.Value
local Character = workspace:FindFirstChild§

plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
	plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
	    if msg:sub(1, 6) == "/give " then
	        local foundplayer = nil
	        local length = msg:len()
            for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
                if string.sub(msg:lower(), 7, length) == string.sub(v.Name, 1, legth-7) then
                    if char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") then
                        char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool").Parent = v.Backpack
break
                    end
                end
            end
	    end
	end)
end)

plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
local splitMsg = string.split(msg, " ")
if splitMsg[1] = "/give" then
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(splitMsg[2]) then
local Tool = char:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
if Tool then
Tool.Parent = game.Players[splitMsg[2].Backpack]
end
end
end)

I’ve also realised that string.split() is way better than string.sub()

That wont work if you use one equal sign: if splitMsg[1] = "/give" then

Add two so it’ll check if it is equal to.
if splitMsg[1] == "/give" then

try this

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
        local message = msg:split(" ")
        if message[1]:lower() == "/give" then
            if game.Players:FindFirstChild(message[2]:lower()) then
                local tool = plr.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
                if tool then
                    tool.Parent = game.Players:FindFirstChild(message[2]:lower()).Backpack
                end
            end
        end
    end)
end)
