Comparing steam ids not working?

[Maksimo007]

Hello,
I want to compare steam ids, but this isn't working.
I have:

local IDs = 	{
			"STEAM_0:1:53797886",
			"STEAM_0:1:44343401",
	     	}
		
function kickonjoin(ply)
	for k, v in pairs( IDs ) do
        	if v == ply:SteamID() then
			ply:Kick("This is a test!")
		end
    	end
end

hook.Add( "PlayerConnect", "playerConnectHook", kickonjoin )

And I get this error:

L 03/13/2014 - 19:29:25: Lua Error:
[ERROR] lua/autorun/server/kick.lua:8: bad key to string index (number expected, got string)
  1. error - [C]:-1
   2. __index - lua/includes/extensions/string.lua:262
    3. fn - lua/autorun/server/kick.lua:8
     4. unknown - addons/ulib/lua/ulib/shared/hook.lua:183

Can you help me?

Okay, I updated it.

What made you think that the PlayerConnect hook's first parameter is a player?

Hmm okay... The first parameter is a name, but how can I convert a name to a player? I have already googled, but all solutions doesn't work... I'm very new in lua.

Use a different hook, like [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/PlayerInitialSpawn"]PlayerInitialSpawn[/URL].

Ah, it works fine now. Thank you :)
