Need to write the whole name /stats [TAG]NaMe . how can i make /stats name..

[Zango]

I might get you wrong, but you want the script to recognise a player by a part of his name?

If the tags you are talking about are made using setPlayerNametagText there shouldn't be a problem.

Else, you can try and retrieve player list and see if a player matches the given string tplayer.

  
for k, v in ipairs (getElementsByType ('player')) do 
    if string.find (getPlayerName (v), tplayer, 0, true) then 
        tplayer = v 
    else 
        return 
    end 
end 
  

There's just a problem if someone has parts of identical names ie. player1 is named Drift and player2 is named Drift_King one of those will be chosen.

You can probably write around this

while i was typing answer already was posted.

though i'd like to add that it wont find «Drift» in «driftking», cause it is case-sensitive. you can convert strings to lower/upper case, for example.

and also it will «return» on the first iteration (because of «else return» means return without any conditions), so it will check only first player in list

  
function getPlayerFromNamePart(name) 
  local player = getPlayerFromName(name) -- check if it is already a full player name 
  if player then return player end  
  for i, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do -- loop thru all players 
    if string.find(getPlayerName(player):lower(), name:lower(), 1, true) then -- search for name part in player name 
      return player -- return player element if a match found 
    end 
  end 
  return false 
end

my bad, shouldn't write it this fast

as a suggestion, if two or more results are found you could take the one with the least amount of characters from the searched, for example
