player search function

[yuriman]

Im making a admin mod so when i just etc. the kick function it searches for the player i entered, but heres a exemple of the problem i get.

Lets say i have 5 people on the server. I type "/Kick John Dont like you" it will print in the chat 4 times, instead of dont print it at all. I tried to use table.HasValue but then the nick needs to be exacly.

function Kick(ply, text)
    local Array = string.Explode( " ", text );
        
        if Array[1] == "/kick" && IsGamewebAdmin(ply) == true then
            for k , t in ipairs(player.GetAll()) do
            if string.find(string.lower(t:Nick()) , string.lower(Array[2])) then
            WriteToLog( ply:GetName() .." kicked: ".. t:GetName() );
            table.remove( Array, 1)
            table.remove( Array, 2)
            t:Kick(string.Implode(" ", Array))
            else
            ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Player name wasnt valid!");        
            end
            end
            return false
        end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "Kick", Kick )

what code should i use to fix this.

Best Regards

Try this. With your script during the loop through the player list, every time that the player's name isn't the same as the one that you want to kick it prints to your chat. You want it to do that at the end of the loop so that it doesn't spam your chat.

[lua]

function Kick(ply, text)
local Array = string.Explode( " ", text );

if Array[1] == "/kick" && IsGamewebAdmin(ply) == true then
for k , t in ipairs(player.GetAll()) do
if string.find(string.lower(t:Nick()) , string.lower(Array[2])) then
WriteToLog( ply:GetName() .." kicked: ".. t:GetName() );
table.remove( Array, 1)
table.remove( Array, 2)
t:Kick(string.Implode(" ", Array))
local plykicked = true
end
end
if not plykicked then
ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Player name wasnt valid!")
plykicked = false
end
end
return false
end
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "Kick", Kick )
