You can't do that, because Reciever is a string.
Instead, try using something like this:
[lua]
Players = player.GetAll()
for _,v in pairs(Players) do
if(string.find(v:Nick(), args[1])) then
Receiver = v
end
end
[/lua]

thanks, let's see if it works.

now it gives me this:

for
[lua]function GiveMoney(ply,cmd,args)
if(!args[1]) then
ply:ChatPrint("Please specify a player.")
end

if(!args[2]) then
ply:ChatPrint("Please specify an amount.")
return
end
Players = player.GetAll()
for _,v in pairs(Players) do
if(string.find(v:Nick(), args[1])) then
Receiver = v
end
end
if(args[1] && args[2]) then
ply:TakeMoney(args[2])
ply:ChatPrint("You gave "..Reciever:Nick().." $"..args[2]..".")
Reciever:GiveMoney(args[2])
Reciever:ChatPrint("You recieved $"..args[2].." from "..ply:Nick()..".")
end
end[/lua]

[lua]
function GiveMoney(ply,cmd,args)

local Reciever

if(Reciever && args[1] && args[2]) then

thanks ralle, it doesn't give me any errors, but it doesn't say anything in my chat either.

[editline]11:37AM[/editline]

I used an else statement on the if(receiver) and it gave me the else statement. By the way, I'm using the function on myself (/give sov 100)

[editline]11:40AM[/editline]

I think I found the problem, receiver != reciever

[editline]11:45AM[/editline]

still gives me the else
[lua]function GiveMoney(ply,cmd,args)
if(!args[1]) then
ply:ChatPrint("Please specify a player.")
end

if(!args[2]) then
ply:ChatPrint("Please specify an amount.")
return
end

local Reciever

Players = player.GetAll()
for _,v in pairs(Players) do
if(string.find(v:Nick(), args[1])) then
Reciever = v
end
end

if(Reciever && ply:GetMoney() >= args[2] && args[1] && args[2]) then
ply:TakeMoney(args[2])
ply:ChatPrint("You gave "..Reciever:Nick().." $"..args[2]..".")
Reciever:GiveMoney(args[2])
Reciever:ChatPrint("You recieved $"..args[2].." from "..ply:Nick()..".")
else
ply:ChatPrint("You don't have enough money")
end
end[/lua]

[ralle105]

It's case sensitive. Might not be that though.

[Carmine3777]

It said that ply:GetMoney is a string when I commented out the rest of it. I'll try tonumber(ply:GetMoney)

[editline]12:29PM[/editline]

now it gives me this:

[lua]function GiveMoney(ply,cmd,args)

return
end

local Reciever

Players = player.GetAll()
for _,v in pairs(Players) do
if(string.find(v:Nick(), args[1])) then
Reciever = v
end
end

Money = tostring(ply:GetMoney())
if/*(Reciever &&*/ Money >= args[2] /*&& args[1] && args[2])*/ then
ply:TakeMoney(args[2])
ply:ChatPrint("You gave "..Reciever:Nick().." $"..args[2]..".")
Reciever:GiveMoney(args[2])
Reciever:ChatPrint("You recieved $"..args[2].." from "..ply:Nick()..".")
else
ply:ChatPrint("You don't have enough money")
end
end[/lua]
