Serverban script?

How would I go about creating a serverban script. I suppose it would be:

while wait() do
Player:Kick()
end

but that would most likely lag the moderator after doing a couple serverbans so whats the correct way to do it?

What do you mean by serverban? Do you mean they are only banned from that one server?

Yes, like they cannot join that one server until it shutsdown and a new one is made

So I just tried to type a long complicated admin script but it would be too hard to explain.

I think basically what you need to do is add the ServerBanned guy to a table that saves only on the server. Then, if he joins, the script will check if his name is in the table and kick him.

Example Script regarding the concept above :stuck_out_tongue:


local playerBans = {}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
   if table.find(playerBans, player.Name) then
      player:Kick()
   end
end)

-- Inserting a banned player into the table
table.insert(playerBans, player.Name)

I have a question, why did you insert the name of the player into the table again when you could’ve just add the ID inside the table earlier in the script?

I believe in the OP (Original Post) they were asking about more of a command approach for being able to ban players from a server. A ban command.

So those are the base components for doing basic ban tables and stuff
Here an example of a more complete script.

local command = "!ban"
local playerBans = {}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
   if table.find(playerBans, player.Name) then
      player:Kick()
   end
   if player:GetRankInGroup(1234567) > 20 then
      player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
         if string.sub(message, 1, string.len(command)) == command then
            local arguments = string.split(message, " ")
            if game.Players:FindFirstChild(arguments[2]) then
                table.insert(playerBans, player.Name)
                game.Players:FindFirstChild(arguments[2]):Kick()
            end
         end
      end)
   end
end)

You can see where the concepts come into play

Yeah what I did was I made all of that run off of a remote which then is fired through a button on an admin panel gui.

BanEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, BanPlayer)
	
	local PlayerBan = game.Players:FindFirstChild(BanPlayer)
	if admins[player.Name] and PlayerBan then
		table.insert(playerBans, PlayerBan.Name)
		end

	
end)

Just a bit of a little side comment which may help you out

local function getPartialUsername(text)
	for i,v in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if string.find(string.lower(v.Name), string.lower(text)) then
			return v
		end
	end
	return false
end

BanEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, BanPlayer)
	
	local PlayerBan = getPartialUsername(BanPlayer)
	if admins[player.Name] and PlayerBan then
		table.insert(playerBans, PlayerBan.Name)
	end

	
end)

You can use a function like this in order to find the player without having to put the full username in :stuck_out_tongue:
