I want to make it so where if someone says "RUN NAME: " and it pops up the color background is another color called blue, if not then its normal I’m trying to see if there is certain info in the message to do this.

It simply won’t find the info right

SERVER SCRIPT

radioFolder.RunPlayer.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(PlayerRunne, ArrestsVal)
	local FrameTo_output = script.Parent.RadioFrame:FindFirstChild("Dispatch")
	FrameTo_output.LineSix.Text = FrameTo_output.LineFive.Text
	FrameTo_output.LineFive.Text = FrameTo_output.LineFour.Text
	FrameTo_output.LineFour.Text = FrameTo_output.LineThree.Text
	FrameTo_output.LineThree.Text = FrameTo_output.LineTwo.Text
	wait()
	FrameTo_output.LineOne.Text = "DISPATCH: "..PlayerRunne.Name.." was Arrested "..ArrestsVal.." times!"
	if FrameTo_output.LineOne.Text == (string.split("Dispatch: ")[3]) then
		FrameTo_output.LineOne.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(57, 141, 177)
	end
end)```

If your finding words or patterns in a string, use string.find, or string.match which can be found here.

There is also string.match()

Example:

local ExampleString = "this is an example string"

if string.match(ExampleString, "this is") then
    Print("match")
end

The first parameter is the string to compare, and the second parameter is the string your are looking for inside of the comparison string.

(sorry if that didn’t make sense)

Though they basically are used the same way I just thought I would give another option.
