Username Input GUI Script

[bvetterdays (roman)]

Hey, everyone!

I’m currently working on a hosting GUI for my Training Center. I’m wondering how I would script something like the following image. Basically, I want the TextBox to find whichever players’ username is inputted into the TextBox without needing the FULL username. I want it to get the player’s username from the first few letters that are typed in to the TextBox if you get what I mean. The second thing I need this GUI to do is auto-fill the username as PlaceHolderText of the TextBox once it’s found the player with the corresponding username. Keep in mind that I know this isn’t the place to be asking for scripts, but I’ve looked for hours on end and haven’t found anything of assistance with the problem I’m experiencing. Concluding, please let me know if you have the knowledge to provide assistance with this. Thank you all in advance!

local rankButton = script.Parent -- Choose

rankButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
   local characters = string.lower(TextBox.Text) -- Choose
     for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
      local PlrName = string.lower(player.Name)
        if string.sub(PlrName,1,#characters) == characters then
       -- Code Here (example: player.Rank = "Rank 1"
       end
    end
end)

There are already many topics on auto-filling usernames, please look

How to autofill names when making admin commands?

So I was making admin commands (non module so far) and I was thinking of having autofilling names. Here is my code I have tried a lot I don’t know how to use string.match and if you can help heres my code: commands.unfreeze = function(sender,targetPlr1, targetPlr2,command) if table.find(admins,sender.UserId) then if game.Players:FindFirstChild(targetPlr1) then game.Players:FindFirstChild(targetPlr1).Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false elseif table.find(specialAdmins,sender.UserId)…

Autofill Text Help

I’m attempting to create an autofill system for usernames, and am having a bit of trouble. I have created the function that actually gets the player, and calculates all of the characters left to fill in the box, which works fine. However, I’m stuck as to how I could get it to actually fill the text in. This is what I’ve tried so far: script.Parent.Username:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function() if string.len(script.Parent.Username.Text) ~= 0 then local player = FUNCTIONS:getPlay…

Thank you! I’m experiencing an issue and I know why, but I’m not sure how to fix it. Could you provide assistance with this? The script below isn’t working. I need to reference the player’s username in Workspace.

local rankButton = script.Parent.Parent.TextButton

rankButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	local characters = script.Parent.Text
	for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
		if string.sub(player.Name,1,#characters) == characters then
			player.Character.Head.Rank.Frame.Name1.Text = "test"
		end
	end
end)

local rankButton = script.Parent.Parent.TextButton

rankButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	local characters = string.lower(script.Parent.Text)
	for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
        local plrName = string.lower(player.Name)
		if string.sub(plrName,1,#characters) == characters then
			player.Character.Head.Rank.Frame.Name1.Text = "test"
		end
	end
end)

You didn’t use string.lower()

Okay, I’ll take a look at these. Thank you!

Ah, this worked. Thank you! Also, how do I make it so that it auto fills the username inside of the TextBox as PlaceHolderText?

[Ioveczour (Sulo)]

local rankButton = script.Parent.Parent.TextButton

rankButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	local characters = string.lower(script.Parent.Text)
	for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
        local plrName = string.lower(player.Name)
		if string.sub(plrName,1,#characters) == characters then
            script.Parent.Text = player.Name
			player.Character.Head.Rank.Frame.Name1.Text = "test"
		end
	end
end)

@DevCramp How would I make an ImageLabel on the GUI display the inputted username’s avatar when the button is clicked?

[slothfulGuy]

ImageLabel.Image = game:GetService(“Players”):GetUserThumbnailAsync(player.UserId)

@DevCramp

local rankButton = script.Parent.Parent.TextButton

rankButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	local characters = string.lower(script.Parent.Text)
	for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
        local plrName = string.lower(player.Name)
		if string.sub(plrName,1,#characters) == characters then
			player.Character.Head.Rank.Frame.Name1.Text = "test"
		end
	end
end)

How do I make this serverside?

Change the script into a local script, make a remote event and fire it in the LocalScript, then make a script to check when remote event is fired and you can rank player.
