I am trying to make an autofill cmd bar for my upcoming admin, but the autofill I am making only suggets the player name when there is nothing infront of the name. (e.g | Treeman34, If you type tr or t or any thing in the name it will suggest the name but if theres something infront it will not.)
Script is below, thanks!
Input:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
while Input.Text:sub(1, 1):match("[^%a]+") do
Input.Text = Input.Text:sub(2)
end
if Input.Text:match("\t") and Auto.Text ~= "" then
Input.Text = Auto.Text .. "\32"
Input.CursorPosition = #Input.Text + 1
return
end
local text = string.lower(Input.Text)
local Results = {}
local Players = game:GetService('Players'):GetPlayers()
for _, a in ipairs(Players) do
if string.find(string.sub(a.Name:lower(), 1,string.len(Input.Text)), Input.Text:lower()) then
table.insert(Results,a.Name)
end
end
if text ~= "" then
for _, cmd in ipairs(Results) do
for _, name in ipairs(Results) do
Input.Text = text
if string.find(string.sub(name:lower(), 1,string.len(Input.Text)), Input.Text:lower()) then
Auto.Text = name:lower()
return
end
end
end
Input.Parent.Autofill.Text = ""
else
Input.Parent.Autofill.Text = ""
end
end)
If I understand what you’re asking correctly, all you’d need to do is to repeat this process after removing the last character in your string. E.g. if “tri” doesn’t have a result, go back and try with “tr” instead, finding “treeman”.
(e.g | Treeman34, If you type tr or t or any thing in the name it will suggest the name but if theres something infront it will not.)
I’m trying to make an autofill (AutoComplete) textbox / CMDBar.
If there is a player named lets say Joe43 and you type for example, kill Jo and Joe43 is in the server then it will pop up like an autocomplete on a google doc having the rest of the name, Joe43. I’ll send a video if you still don’t understand
Well, if you know that the command is “Kill”, then you can remove that from the text being searched. It’s probably trying to look for a player named “Kill Treeman34” while you’d want to cut out "Kill ".
Then just split up the text with spaces using string.split(text, " "). The first item will be the command, and the second or more will be the arguments. You can then perform your autofill on string.split(text, " ")[2].
I’m just saying that you can use split to split up the query into the command and arguments. You can then use autofill on the command or the arguments the same way that you do right now.
You would get the split up query and then perform the autofill on the last item. So if you were typing “kill treem”, it would perform autofill on “treem”, since it’s the last item in the split up table. Here’s a neat function that returns the autofilled value:
local function autofill(query: string, options: {string}): string
if query == "" then return "" end
local split = string.split(query, " ")
local start = string.gsub(query, split[#split], "")
query = split[#split]
local length = string.len(query)
for i = 1, #options do
local loption = options[i]:lower()
if string.find(string.sub(loption, 1, length), query:lower()) then
return start .. loption
end
end
return ""
end
options is a table of strings which are the autofill options (like the player names).
If you’re confused, here’s an example:
print(autofill("kill treem", {"Treeman34", "L0RD_Scriptz"})
-- Will print "treeman34"
print(autofill("ki", {"kill", "ban"})
-- Will print "kill"
See the edit for an example. In your current code, you would use it like this:
-- Remove the entire if text ~= "" then block
Input.Parent.Autofill.Text = autofill(text, Results) -- You can set text to Input.Text instead of string.lower(Input.Text)
Also, you can simplify the first for loop (where you insert player names into Results) to:
for i = 1, #Players do
table.insert(Results, Players[i].Name)
end
As a side note, I would rename Results to playerNames. Of course, you will also have to expand this system should you want autofill for commands as well. Right now, it’s very primitive.
It does indeed work but now the autofill text stays in the same spot. By any chance would you know how to make it behind the command. (e.g | kill p(autofill)
