Kick when changed name

[Toffbrown]

function loginPlayer ( ) 
    local name = getPlayerName ( source ) 
    if ( string.find(name,"[VIP]")) then  
            kickPlayer (source,"Remove the [VIP] Tag") 
        end 
    end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", root, loginPlayer ) 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChangeNick", root, kick ) 

how can i make this kick the player when they change their nick to [VIP] ingame?

i have also tried

unction kick(oldN,newN) 
local name = getPlayerName(source) 
if ( string.find(name,"[VIP]")) then 
kickPlayer(source,"[VIP] Tag is banned, please remove it") 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerChangeNick",root,kick) 

but it kicks the actual player when they change nick to anything like if they type nick jdshjkfhsd it kicks them

[iPrestege]

addEventHandler ( 'onPlayerChangeNick',root, 
    function ( _,Nick ) 
        if string.find ( Nick,'[VIP]' ) then 
            kickPlayer ( source,root,'[VIP] Tag is banned, please remove it' ) 
        end 
    end 
)

You're welcome .

hi just wondering if i could use a better find value to find only [FO] because it kicks players with like [xx] and fontmaker etc

another example is [FNY]Logix it detects the o in logix and F in first bracket

Check this section from the Lua Reference Manual:

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5.4.1

[set]: represents the class which is the union of all characters in set. A range of characters can be specified by separating the end characters of the range with a '-'. All classes %x described above can also be used as components in set. All other characters in set represent themselves

So you basically want to escape the brackets using %

if string.find ( Nick,"%[VIP%]" ) then

Perfect
