I was working on a votekick system, but for some reason when I try it with multiple players, it doesnt send an error, yet does nothing, heres my script:

local adminList = {} --Players that can instantly votekick.

local prefix = "!" --If the message the player sent starts with this, it means that they want to send a command

local function getPlayerFromPartialName(PartialName)
	local foundName = nil
	local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
	for i = 1, #Players do
		local PossiblePlayer = Players[i]
		if string.find(string.lower(PossiblePlayer.Name), string.lower(PartialName)) then
			foundName = PossiblePlayer
		end
	end

	if not foundName then
		return nil
	else
		return foundName
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.Chatted:Connect(function(command)
		if game.ReplicatedStorage.VotekickValues.VotekickInProgress == false then
			local msg = command:lower()
			local targetSplit = msg:split(" ")
			local cmd = targetSplit[1]
			local target = targetSplit[2]
			if target == nil or cmd == nil then
				print("returned")
				return nil
			else
				print("continued")
			end
			print(cmd)
			print(target)
			local prefixCut = cmd:split(prefix)
			print(prefixCut[2])
			if prefixCut[2] == "votekick" then
				print("worked")
			else
				print("command wasnt initiated")
				return
			end
			local target = getPlayerFromPartialName(target)
			print(target)
			if target then
				print(true)
			else
				print(false)
				return
			end
			print(target)
			print(target.Name)
			local votes = 1
			local requiredVotes = math.round(math.min(1,#game.Players:GetPlayers() * .65))
			for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				local gui = v.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("VotekickGui")
				gui.Enabled = true
				if not gui or v == target then
					gui.Enabled = false
				end
				gui.Frame.TextLabel.Text = "A votekick was initiated for "..target.DisplayName.." (@"..target.Name..")"
				local votecasted = false
				local yes = gui.Frame:WaitForChild("Yes")
				local no = gui.Frame:WaitForChild("No")

				yes.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
					if votecasted == false then
						votes += 1
						gui.Enabled = false
						votecasted = true
					end
				end)
				no.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
					gui.Enabled = false
				end)
			end
			task.wait(5)
			if votes >= requiredVotes then
				target:Kick()
			end
		end
	end)
end)

Why is foundName = nil?
Not sure what else is causing the problem, looks flawless to me

#3

My issue is that it prints nothing, doesnt give any errors, and it does nothing.

Though the function gives back a player even without full username (Example: if I want to get Shedletsky, I can do shed instead of the full username.)

#4

Okay I’m not sure then. It looks flawless to me. Maybe try rewriting the formation

#5

I found something weird, when I removed the if statement, which is the if game.ReplicatedStorage.VotekickValues.VotekickInProgress == false then, it worked, but I want to keep it though just incase 2 votekicks occur.

I kept it false when I started the game though.

#6

What are the properties of VotekickInProgress?

#8

What about VotekickValues???

#9

It appears fine, maybe I just need to look at the if statement?

#10

I guess… Try testing different things with the if statement, removing parts and see if you get any results

#11

I found it, I need to do VotekickInProgress.Value == false,

Incorrect: if game.ReplicatedStorage.VotekickValues.VotekickInProgress == false then
Correct: if game.ReplicatedStorage.VotekickValues.VotekickInProgress.Value == false then

OHHHHHH Niceeee! So it all works fine now?

Yep! I’ll fix the part where the player who initiated the votekick wont get the Gui now.
