Im stuck with this script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So, hey, im doing an admin command system and just started, but i got kinda stuck:

im doing a teleport command, and i got stuck to detect if the values of the command message are correct, so i have 2 Module Scripts, 1 for handling all the commands, and other for the teleport command:
this modules are in ReplicatedStorage, this is the one who handles the commands:

local adminCmds = {}

local tpCmd = require(script.TeleportCmd)

function tp(plr, pos, addY, addPos)
	tpCmd.Teleport(plr, pos, addY, addPos)
end

return adminCmds

and this is the module for the teleport command:

local teleportCmd = {}

function teleportCmd.Teleport(plr, pos, addY, addPos)
	local char = plr.Character
	if char then
		if addY then
			char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(pos) + Vector3.new(0, addPos, 0)
		else
			char:MoveTo(pos)
		end
	end
end

return teleportCmd

this script (a ServerScript in ServerScriptService) is the one who handles when the player sends the chat command:

local commandsModule = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.AdminCmds)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
		local loweredText = string.lower(msg)
		if string.find(loweredText, "/tp") then
			
		end
	end)
end)

but i got kinda stuck in here cause idk how to get the pos, the boolean, and the numberValue…

thanks!

You can use string.split in order to split the message into different inputs divided by spaces. For example,

local msg = "/tp bobowawahaha 100,100,100"
local splitMsg = string.split(msg, " ")

local command = splitMsg[1] -- /tp
local input1 = splitMsg[2] -- bobowawahaha
local input2 = splitMsg[3] -- 100,100,100

From there, you can process it with the rest of your code.

so, the input2, would be, the position, or i didnt quite understand, cause i want to do a “/tp” then a Vector3 value, then a boolean, then a numberValue, sorry for the problems im kinda new to scripting hehe

Could you write out what your desired command would look like?

Input2 would still be a string, you would need to convert it to a Vector3 in your processing. You can do this with string.split again, separating by the comma to get the X, Y, and Z values and create the Vector3 from that. Anything that is not a string would have to be processed in order to convert it into your desired data type from the input.

“/tp 10, 10 ,10, true, 3”

What’s the purpose of “true” and “3” in your command? If i were to write this I would probably make it look something like this:
“/tp [Player Name] 10 10 10” I wouldn’t use commas and instead use spaces. Now, using that information you should follow @bobowawahaha’s previous replies. Hope this helped.

so, hi, the “true” is a boolValue to check if i want to teleport the player x amount of studs in Y, and the “3” is the studs amout to move
