You can use string:lower(), you can use the “%l” special key to play with it and turn your string into low cases.

this error occurs

ServerScriptService.ChatCommands:197: invalid argument #1 to 'lower' (string expected, got table)
#4

that means ur “string” is a table and not a string

Try this -

 if message == Prefix..string.lower(Commands.kick)..v.Name then

If you want your entire message to be low case -

if string.lower(message) == Prefix..Commands.kick..v.Name then

You cannot use :lower() nor string.lower() on a table. Could you please give more information about the error (the line, the error in the output, etc)

Well, his post wasnt that clear, I hope he elaborates a bit, because you can take that into several paths.

here you go : D

local function autofill(abbreviation) -- autofills player name
	for i,v in ipairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
		if v.Name:lower():sub(1,abbreviation:len()) == abbreviation:lower() then
			return v
		end
	end
end

local Commands = { -- commands
	kick = "kick"
}

local prefix = "!" -- prefix

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) -- getplayer
	plr.Chatted:Connect(function(message) -- chatted
		local split = string.split(message," ") -- splits the message by spaces
		if string.lower(split[1]) == prefix..Commands.kick then -- checks for command
			local player = autofill(split[2]) -- gets player
			if player then
				local reason = split[3] -- reason
				if not reason then reason = "Unknown" end -- if there isnt any reason the reason becomes Unknown... literally
				player:Kick(reason) -- kick
			end
		end
	end)
end)

And yea this works 100%
