Partial nick

[Klesh]

I was try to make some function to later insert it for a command script:

    function getPlayerFromPartOfName(nickpart) 
      local players=getElementsByType("player") 
      local matches={} 
      for _,v in pairs(players) do 
        if string.find(string.lower(getPlayerFromName(v)),string.lower(nickpart)) then 
          table.insert(matches,v) 
        end 
     end 
     if #mathces>1 then 
       return false 
     else 
       return mathces[1] 
     end 
    end

And what doesn't work from it?

[Klesh]

It doesn't, writing a partial name, for example kles, does not works.

System :

addCommandHandler("lol", 
function ( thePlayer, commandName, who) 
bugPlayer = getPlayerFromPartOfName(who) 
--------Example----------

Maybe because you used getPlayerFromName instead of getPlayerName in line: 5.

Also you put "mathces" instead of "matches".

function getPlayerFromPartOfName(nickpart) 
      local players=getElementsByType("player") 
      local matches={} 
      for _,v in pairs(players) do 
        if string.find(string.lower(getPlayerName(v)),string.lower(nickpart)) then 
          table.insert(matches,v) 
        end 
     end 
     if #matches>1 then 
       return false 
     else 
       return matches[1] 
     end 
    end

Not works.

    function getPlayerFromPartOfName(nickpart) 
          local players=getElementsByType("player") 
          local matches={} 
          for _,v in pairs(players) do 
            if string.find(string.lower(getPlayerName(v)),string.lower(nickpart)) then 
              table.insert(matches,v) 
            end 
         end 
         if #matches>1 then 
           return false 
         else 
           return matches[1] 
         end 
        end

function getPlayerFromPartOfName(nickpart) 
    local players=getElementsByType("player") 
    local matches={} 
    for _,v in pairs(players) do 
        if string.find(string.lower(getPlayerName(v)),string.lower(nickpart)) then 
            table.insert(matches,v) 
        end 
    end 
    if (#matches > 1) then 
        return false 
    else 
        return matches[1] 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("part", 
function (thePlayer, cmd, who) 
    local player = getPlayerFromPartOfName(who) 
    if (player) then 
        outputChatBox(getPlayerName(player)) 
    end 
end) 

Works perfectly.

I do /part cast and it outputs (SAUR)Castillo.
