if string.lower(string.sub(c,0,7)) == "health/" and string.len(c) > 7 then
for l = 1, string.len(c) - 8 do
if string.sub(c,l,l+1) == "/" then
local it = l
end

end
local gch = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #gch do
if string.lower(string.sub(gch[i].Name,0,string.len(c)-it)) == string.lower(string.sub(c,it+1,string.len(c))) then
gch[i].Character.Humanoid.MaxHealth = string.sub(c,l,string.len(c))
gch[i].Character.Humanoid.Health = string.sub(c,l,string.len(c))
end
end
end

c is chat, it is in a chatted script.

I want it so that you could say "health/s/1000" and who ever's name begins with "s" gets 1000 health and maxhealth, but it won't work (I'm making an admin script).

Help please.

I've read that before. I just get confused doing these sort of things, that's why I'm asking for help.

When I write commands, I use something like the following because I hate using string.sub too much:

local command = {}
for chunk in c:gmatch("[^/]+") do
table.insert(command, chunk)
end

local name = command[2] or ""
local amount = command[3] or 0

I have recognized one problem, when finding the slash (/), string.sub(c,l,l+1) should be string.sub(c,l,l), but it still don't work.

Fixed all except this line:

if string.lower(string.sub(gch[i].Name,0,string.len(c)-(l-string.len(c)))) == string.lower(string.sub(c,8,it-1)) then

What should that be?

I'll give you my command I made a while ago:

       if string.sub(string.lower(msg), 1,7) == "health/" then
       local q = string.gsub(string.lower(msg), "health/", "")
       --I removed the checkIfAdmin thing because you might want something custom there
          for who, much in string.gmatch(q, "(%w+)/(%w+)") do
          local found = find_Requested(who, speaker)
             if found ~= 0 then
              for i = 1, #found do
               local h = found[i].Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
                  if h~=nil then
                  h.Health = much
                  end
               end
            end
         end
       end

Please excuse me if there are any errors, I wrote it on the spot. I use that code for my Admin Commands, Person299 does these things so inefficiently.

Yes. It worked. But I'd rather do it myself...and I stopped posting here because I thought of how to fix it.

The annoying thing is though, I saved my admin commands with your health command, and now I have to either start from scratch or repair the one I posted on the forum with.

I'll start from scratch. It will only take about 3 or 4 mins. Thanks for help though. Also I normally accept help but only if I understand the script. As I do not, I am making my own. (I don't get string.gsub or chunks).

This is the bit I don't get about gmatch. It leaves me clueless, and from the article I read in the wiki, it explains everything but this: "(%w+)/(%w+)").

I will explain it.
The (%w+)'s are captures. It will "capture" all the character's in that area. So, it does this:

-Looks for characters- -Passes over the /- -Looks for the rest-


I have a tutorial on captures in my models, it isn't mine, but I used it when I started to learn scripting:

If you open it up, then find the String Patterns tutorial, it will help you greatly.

Ok, thanks. For now I'll keep doing what I am currently doing in my admin commands, since I have about 15 so far, but if I am not satisfied or need to re-write all of them for some reason, I'll use that.

Well, you don't need to re-write anything at all, it's just my way of doing things. You CAN use Ctrl + H, which put's a Replace and a Replace With, that replaces things faster.

Isn't that the same as Ctrl+V while somethings selected? I have tons of commands, and they all work differently, so I'd have to edit that script each time.

The way I'm doing it is fine by me...but thanks.
