How are we supposed to make a script that ban everyone with their name started with what you want? Example: Ban "zelda" then people with their name started with zelda will get banned. Just wondering

string.match searches for the characters in a string string.sub will search the beggining, string.sub(1, 4) will search the first four letters.

Oh, right. He wouldn't want to search for the whole name.

Reminder: Do not ban Guests with this script, or you will be banned... from Roblox. ban = string.lower("zelda") --ban phrase must be lowercase length = ban:len() function check(player) if player.Name == string.sub(ban, 1, length) then player:remove() end end game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(check(player))

Dang, messed up. ban = string.lower("zelda") --ban phrase must be lowercase length = ban:len() function check(player) if string.sub(player.name, 1, length) == ban then player:remove() end end game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(check(player))
