Question about this new admin that I am creating

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi,

I am making a new admin system, and I have two quick questions (slight errors) about it.

  1. For the commands, how do I make it so the entire message can be used in a command, even if it’s not the right case (for example, :kick chasingnachos should work, even though my name is in all lowercase)?

  2. How do I make it so the kick command reason variable collects ALL arguments after argument 3, instead of just argument 3?

#1. Call string.lower on both the supplied argument, and then do GetPlayers and iterate all the players and call string.lower on their usernames and compare the two.

#2. I can’t really find a good way to do that by purely using string.split, I think you should use a more sophisticated system using string patterns.
