ROBLOX Kill command to kill specified player - lua

Question

I want to make a command that would kill a player you specify..
Let's say I type: kill/Paul. Now I want to kill the player with the name Paul.
This is my command Script:
local player = ...
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) --this gets the player that connected
player.Chatted:connect(function(message) --this function executes when the player type into chat
--commands are here
if player.Name == "TominoCZ" or player.Name == "nathancain" or player.Name == "block100000" then
if message == "kill/me" then
player.Character.Head:remove()
end
if message == "ff/me" then
if player.Character:findFirstChild("ForceField") then
player.Character.ForceField:Destroy()
end
Instance.new("ForceField").Parent = player.Character
end
if message == "unff/me" then
if player.Character:findFirstChild("ForceField") then
player.Character.ForceField:Destroy()
end
end
end
end)
end)
Now you can see that I already have a command that will kill the play that executed it.
But how can I kill a different player by specifying the player's name after the "kill/"?
This command script might look too long or not too pro, but atleast I know and understand what it does.
So any ideas?

You can do something like this:
local player = ...
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) --this gets the player that connected
player.Chatted:connect(function(message) --this function executes when the player type into chat
--commands are here
if string.sub(message,1,string.len("kill/"))=="kill/" then --check the message if it starts with command "kill/"
if string.sub(message,string.len("kill/"))==player.Name then --kill the player with the name
player.Character.Head:remove()
end
end)
end)
I don't know Lua so there might be syntax errors, but the overall idea is that you use string.sub method to divide your message into 2 parts: the command part and the info part. If the command part equals to "kill/", then find the player with the name specified in the info part, and kill him! (Or behead him... I don't play ROBLOX :D)
