Kick Player GUI

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey guys, I made this menu.

image

and I made this script inside the red kick button.

local kickButton = script.Parent
local plrNameBox = script.Parent.Parent.playerName
local reasonBox = script.Parent.Parent.Reasson
local players = game.Players

kickButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	players:WaitForChild(plrNameBox.Text):Kick(reasonBox.Text)
	game.SoundService.menuClick:Play()
end)

It works fine, but you must type the player name correctly. How can I make it so it does not matter if you type it in capital or small letters?

You put the input into lowercase and then check like this but also lower the player’s name:

local kickButton = script.Parent
local plrNameBox = script.Parent.Parent.playerName
local reasonBox = script.Parent.Parent.Reasson
local players = game.Players

kickButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	players:WaitForChild(plrNameBox.Text:lower()):Kick(reasonBox.Text)
	game.SoundService.menuClick:Play()
end)

Use string.lower() on both the player input and searched player names.

How?

local kickButton = script.Parent
local plrNameBox = script.Parent.Parent.playerName
local reasonBox = script.Parent.Parent.Reasson
local players = game.Players

kickButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	players:WaitForChild(plrNameBox.Text.string.lower()):Kick(reasonBox.Text)
	game.SoundService.menuClick:Play()
end)

I would approach it like this:

Loop through the players, lower their names and then check if that lowered version of their username matches the plrNameBox text. If it does, you kick them.

how do I do it that’s the problem I don’t know how???

local kickButton = script.Parent
local plrNameBox = script.Parent.Parent.playerName
local reasonBox = script.Parent.Parent.Reasson
local players = game.Players

kickButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	players.Name:lower(plrNameBox.Text):Kick(reasonBox.Text);
	game.SoundService.menuClick:Play()
end)

Here’s an example:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local UserToKick = --string reference here

for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
    local LoweredUser = player.Name:lower()
    local LoweredText = UserToKick:lower()
    if LoweredText == LoweredUser then player:Kick() end
end

To be honest, now that I think about it, I think there might be another option if you want to check if the input is close to the user’s name, it can be done with some math.

Pretty sure it does, you haven’t just integrated this code into your game.

Would you like to enter a few letters of the player’s name and use a best-fit function to find the correct player?

Personally, I have found a small function script that works well, and I use it in all of my projects that involve finding players’ names.

local function get_best_target(target_name)
	for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if (player.Name:lower():find(target_name) == 1) then
			print('Best match is: ', player.Name)
			return player
		end
	end		
end

Hope that helps you out!

local playerTable = {}

kickButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
   table.clear(playerTable)
   for i, v in players:GetPlayers() do
      table.insert(playerTable, string.lower(v.Name))
   end

   local plr = players:FindFirstChild(string.lower(plrNameBox.Text))

   if table.find(playerTable, plr.Name) then
	  players:WaitForChild(plrNameBox.Text):Kick(reasonBox.Text)
	  game.SoundService.menuClick:Play()
   else
      print("Cannot find player")
   end

How can I combine this script with my script

local kickButton = script.Parent
local plrNameBox = script.Parent.Parent.playerName
local reasonBox = script.Parent.Parent.Reasson
local players = game.Players

kickButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	players:WaitForChild(plrNameBox.Text):Kick(reasonBox.Text)
	game.SoundService.menuClick:Play()
end)

As I can see from your script, the script is located inside the KickButton.

Setup:

  1. Create a LocalScript inside of KickButton.
  2. In the LocalScript place the following code:

Code:

local kickButton = script.Parent
local plrNameBox = script.Parent.Parent.playerName
local reasonBox = script.Parent.Parent.Reasson -- Here, make sure you actually have a TextBox named "Reasson" or fix the typo to "Reason".



local function get_best_target(target_name)
	for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if (player.Name:lower():find(target_name) == 1) then
			print('Best match is: ', player.Name)
			return player
		end
	end		
end

kickButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local plr = get_best_target(plrNameBox.Text)
	if plr then
		plr:Kick(reasonBox.Text)
	game.SoundService.menuClick:Play()	
	end
end)

Hope this helps you!
