    addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", button_2,
    function(player)
        local x, y ,z  = string.match(guiGetText(edit_box), "(%d+), (%d+), (%d+)")
        x, y, z = tonumber(x), tonumber(y), tonumber(z)
        setElementPosition(player, x, y, z)
    end)
end

To use this script, the player can enter the desired coordinates in the format "x, y, z" in the edit box and click the "TELEPORT" button. This will teleport the player to the specified coordinates.

You can use split to split the string into tokens and convert each of them to numbers.

local xyz_str = guiGetText(edit_box)
local xyz = split(xyz_str, ",") -- xyz is now a table of tokens

if #xyz == 3 then -- check if there are exactly 3 coordinates
	local x, y, z = tonumber(xyz[1]), tonumber(xyz[2]), tonumber(xyz[3])

	if x and y and z then -- check if each coordinate is a valid number
		-- code to execute if coordinates were parsed successfully
	else
		-- code to execute if not all coordinates are valid numbers
	end
else
	-- code to execute if there aren't exactly 3 coordinates
end

This is a good start, but the space characters have to match exactly, and the numbers can only be non-negative integers. I was going to improve the pattern to allow arbitrary number of spaces, but then I remembered non-integers and negative numbers and thought it would be too much hassle to get it right. With split, we allow tonumber to take care of all number formats and space characters.

You are correct that the string.match() function is not the best choice for parsing coordinates in this scenario. Splitting the string into tokens using string.split() and then converting each token to a number using tonumber() is a more robust solution.

Here is an example of how you can use string.split() and tonumber() to parse the coordinates string entered in the edit box and store the x, y, and z values in separate variables:

 

local xyz_str = guiGetText(edit_box)
local xyz = split(xyz_str, ",") -- xyz is now a table of tokens

if #xyz == 3 then -- check if there are exactly 3 coordinates
    local x, y, z = tonumber(xyz[1]), tonumber(xyz[2]), tonumber(xyz[3])

    if x and y and z then -- check if each coordinate is a valid number
        -- code to execute if coordinates were parsed successfully
    else
        -- code to execute if not all coordinates are valid numbers
    end
else
    -- code to execute if there aren't exactly 3 coordinates
end

This code will split the coordinates string entered in the edit box into separate tokens using string.split(), and then convert each token to a number using tonumber(). It also checks that there are exactly 3 coordinates and that each coordinate is a valid number before proceeding.

You can then use the x, y, and z variables to teleport the player to the specified coordinates using setElementPosition(), as in the previous example.

 

setElementPosition(player, x, y, z)

thank you!
