Subject: [PATCH] Update chat_commands.gsc

Improve the "FindPlayerByName" function, the current one only finds the full name of the player and this is not practical in reality because players usually have long and difficult to write names, however the new function looks for a substring that matches the name of the player, which makes it much easier to search for the player's name as long as a unique substring is provided within the player's name.
