Hey, I’m pretty new to scripting but I’m making an admin panel at the moment and it needs a ban/unban button. I’ve never used Data Stores before in my life so if anyone could help that would be awesome, thanks.

You can use an open-source ban script. Then you can just use:
BanModule.Ban("Coolrabbitsaregreen")
Alternatively, if you want to implement it yourself then look at the official data stores tutorial. If you get stuck, post your code for review.

uh, the script isn’t working it comes up with an error that says:
function CheckPlr(partialuser)
for _,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if v.Name:lower():sub(1,#partialuser) == partialuser:lower() or v.DisplayName:lower():sub(1,#partialuser) == partialuser:lower() then
return v.Name
end
end
end
local BanIt = require(6451678459)
local event = script.Parent.BanEvent
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, name)
local foundplayer = game.Players:FindFirstChild(CheckPlr(name))
if foundplayer then
BanIt.Ban(foundplayer)
end
end)

That’s because you are passing the player Instance instead of its name. Here’s the script updated:
function CheckPlr(partialuser)
for _,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if v.Name:lower():sub(1,#partialuser) == partialuser:lower() or v.DisplayName:lower():sub(1,#partialuser) == partialuser:lower() then
return v.Name
end
end
end
local BanIt = require(6451678459)
local event = script.Parent.BanEvent
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, name)
local foundplayer = game.Players:FindFirstChild(CheckPlr(name))
if foundplayer then
BanIt.Ban(foundplayer.Name)
end
end)

ugh another error and I have no idea what it means…
local button = script.Parent
local textbox = script.Parent.Parent.CMDBAR
local event = script.Parent.BanEvent
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local name = textbox.Text
event:FireServer(name)
script.kicksound:Play()
end)

Hi, for questions like due you can ask next time now the new ai of roblox which you find on the doc page. She can help you but also program it for you. She also answers faster than we. If you still have questions, then ask here.
(The AI is really good!)

So, her response:
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local banDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("BanDataStore")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local BanEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
BanEvent.Name = "BanEvent"
BanEvent.Parent = ReplicatedStorage
local UnbanEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
UnbanEvent.Name = "UnbanEvent"
UnbanEvent.Parent = ReplicatedStorage
function banPlayer(player, userId)
banDataStore:SetAsync(tostring(userId), true)
end
function unbanPlayer(player, userId)
banDataStore:RemoveAsync(tostring(userId))
end
BanEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(banPlayer)
UnbanEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(unbanPlayer)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local userId = player.UserId
local isBanned, error = pcall(function()
return banDataStore:GetAsync(tostring(userId))
end)
if isBanned then
player:Kick("You are banned from this game.")
end
end)
[…]
You only need a local script. NOTE THAT THE AI RESPONSE IS NOT SECURE. BUT YOU CAN ASK HER FOR A SECURER VERSION.

That’s very complicated and overdone for no reason.
local script? for datastores?
function CheckPlr(partialuser)
for _,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if v.Name:lower():sub(1,#partialuser) == partialuser:lower() or v.DisplayName:lower():sub(1,#partialuser) == partialuser:lower() then
return v
end
end
end
local BanIt = require(6451678459)
local event = script.Parent.BanEvent
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, name)
local foundplayer = CheckPlr(name)
if foundplayer then
BanIt.Ban(foundplayer)
end
end)

dont use that, just use the standalone function, it should return their player instance instead of name
local foundplayer = CheckPlr(name)

Context. Don’t just pick out statements. To call that when a button is clicked. The main script is as you can see from the components a server script
