Guys, please help me, Im trying to make a script that when you say "!test PlayerID" it shows the name of the player with this id, but when I try in-game it shows this in the console:

LUA ERROR: sys/lua/giveitems.lua:3: attempt to index local 'message' (a nil value)

But I could not fix it.

addhook("say","player_name")
function player_name(p,id,message)
if string.lower(message:sub(1,6))=="!test" then
local playerid = string.lower(message:sub(7))
if (player(playerid) > 0) and (player(playerid) <= 32) and player(playerid,"exists") then
msg("[Player Name: "..player(playerid,"name").."]")
end
end
end

Please can anyone explain it for me?

Well, first of all: the say function will always only have 2 parameters, playerid and the text. Secondly, why do you have a string.lower for a number? (7)
Lastly, what's with you sticking playerid into player?
I wouldn't be able to understand what you were trying to do if you didn't clearly state it in your first line.
You put a decent amount of redundancy in there.
