Need help with /e heal (player) (amount) script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

so I’ve been making this custom admin script and so far this is what i have

game:GetService('Players').PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message)
		if string.sub(Message, 1,11)  == "/e heal" and whitelist[Player.Name] then
			local targetedplayer = Player.Name
			local Health = Player.Character.Humanoid.Health
			local amount = Health.Value
			Player.Character.Humanoid.Health += 100
			for i, v in pairs(game:GetPlayers()) do 
			    if v.name == targetedplayer 
				then v.Character.Humanoid.Health += amount
				end
			end
        end
   end)
end)

only problem is that i dont know how to define amount ex: /e heal 1-100
also i dont know if the /e heal (player) works only thing i know that works is the /e heal without specifying who and an amount

so how would i specify an amount and specify a player to receive the heal

You can use string.split(Message, " ") to seperate the arguments into substrings, then from there you can get the target player and heal amount.

Like @huh_crazy said, use string.split(msg, sep) for admin commands.

I’ll run you through a quick tutorial for your use case (not I’m on mobile so there might be a few typos also I won’t type out the charted event so everything I’m showing you goes in the chatted event)

Ok, so step one, split the message into the parts.

local split = string.split(Message, " ")
if split[1] ~= "/e" then return end
local command = split[2]
local plrName = split[3]
local amount = split[4]

Now all you have to do is validate the passed data and add the stats

if command == "heal" then
    local plr = game.Player:FindFirstChild(plrName)
    if plr then
        if tonumber(amount) then
            amount = tonumber(amount)
            local char = plr.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
            char.Health += amount
        end
    end
end

local Game = game
local Players = Game:GetService("Players")

local Whitelist = { --Whitelisted users (user IDs).
	[1] = true,
	[Game.CreatorId] = true
}

local function OnPlayerAdded(Player)
	local function OnPlayerChatted(Message)
		if not Whitelist[Player.UserId] then return end
		local Name, Value = string.match(string.lower(Message), "^/e%sheal%s([%w_]+)%s(%d+)")
		if not (Name and Value) then return end
		local NamedPlayers = {}
		for _, Player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
			if not string.match(string.lower(Player.Name), "^"..Name) then continue end
			table.insert(NamedPlayers, Player)
		end
		
		for _, NamedPlayer in ipairs(NamedPlayers) do
			local Character = NamedPlayer.Character
			if not Character then continue end
			local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
			if (not Humanoid) or Humanoid.Health <= 0 then continue end
			Humanoid.Health += Value
		end
	end
	
	Player.Chatted:Connect(OnPlayerChatted)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnPlayerAdded)
