You can use that function to get a team from it's name.

Thank You it worked

I have Another question can i set a player automatically in a team if a part of the team name matches his name

[Castillo]

You can use this function:

function getTeamFromPartOfName ( teamName ) 
    if ( teamName and type ( teamName ) == "string" ) then  
        local teamsFound = { } 
        local teamFound = getTeamFromName ( teamName ) 
        if ( teamFound ) then 
            return teamFound 
        end 
  
        for _, team in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "team" ) ) do 
            if ( getTeamName ( team ):lower ( ):find ( teamName:lower ( ), 1, true ) ) then 
                table.insert ( teamsFound, team ) 
            end 
        end 
  
        if ( #teamsFound == 1 ) then 
            return teamsFound [ 1 ] 
        end 
    end 
  
    return false 
end

hmm should i just add it to the script or there is some kind of syntax

[Castillo]

Add the function to the end of your script and then use getTeamFromPartOfName instead of getTeamFromName.

I want it to work like an autoteam when the player joins and any part of the name matches the tag he gets placed in
