no i ment the line that check the name of the player i typed in the game

[Kenix]

function findPlayer( namepart ) -- 1 argument is string 
    local player = getPlayerFromName( namepart ) 
    if player then -- if player found 
        return player -- return player element 
    end 
    -- So if not found with getPlayerFromName then find player with loop. 
    for _,player in pairs( getElementsByType 'player' ) do -- loop table players 
        if string.find( string.gsub( getPlayerName( player ):lower( ),"#%x%x%x%x%x%x", "" ), namepart:lower( ), 1, true ) then -- find player by pattern  
            return player -- return player element 
        end 
    end 
    return false -- return false if not found  
end 
  
addCommandHandler( 'givemoney', -- add command handler 
    function( source,_,player,amount ) -- 1 argument is source ( element player ) ( who use type this command ) , 2 argument is command name but we not need use this and we create 'upvalue' ( frozen variable that will not be used ) , 3 argument is player nick name ( string ) , 4 argument is amount 
        local find = findPlayer( player ) -- So call function findPlayer in argument use nick name ( string ) 
        if find then -- If player founded then 
            if amount then -- If player type amount ( full command /givemoney [nickname][amount] ) 
                givePlayerMoney( find,tonumber( amount ) ) -- give money for player 
                outputChatBox( '[givemoney]:You transfer $'..amount..' to '..getPlayerName( find ),source,255,0,0 ) -- write in chat box 
            else -- player not type full command ( /givemoney [nickname][amount] )  
                outputChatBox( '[givemoney]:/givemoney [playername][amount]!',source,255,0,0 ) -- write in chat box 
            end  
        else -- player not found  
            outputChatBox( '[givemoney]:Player not found!',source,255,0,0 ) -- write in chat box 
        end 
    end

my question is what line in the script that you gave me check the name of the player that i wrote in the game to give him the money if it will be TroyBoy and i will write TroyBoy in the playername what will check this

[Kenix]

16 line is handler function parameters.

17 line call function and it function return player element or false

18 line check.

You mean this?

I made comments in the code

Read please.
