How can i get the set a player variable when a player types in -invite <playername>?

What it is suppose to do is set a variable of both triggering player and player who's name was type in after -invite_
_ is a space
example code(not working right):

Trigger:

invite

Events

Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -invite as A substring

Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -invite as A substring

Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -invite as A substring

Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -invite as A substring

Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -invite as A substring

Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -invite as A substring

Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -invite as A substring

Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -invite as A substring

Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing -invite as A substring

Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing -invite as A substring

Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) types a chat message containing -invite as A substring

Chuckle_Brother	Do a player pick, matching a string condition, comparing their name to the entered name. The just grab their player index and you are laughing.

Blade.dk	Never use Do Nothing calls btw, that is completely useless.

Linera	i tried the pick all player then check to see if entered name matches name of picked player then set temp_player = picked player it picks blue even if i type the name of another player like teal or orange.

Whitehorn	Put in some checks at each variable assignment (like a game message printing the variable). Tnen you can check if your variables are all right.

Linera

This is the new code and as before it only adds blue player to group and not the correct 2 players (triggering player and temp_player)
but in the text messages it says the correct name of temp_player
