Im trying to make the module function use : instead of this .

Example, of what I’m trying to do.

local TestModule = {}
local value = game.ReplicatedStorage.Test

TestModule[value.Name] = function(Message)
   print(Message)
end

TestModule.Test("-_-")

if I trying using TestModule:Test() It would print TestModule Instead of the argument

Object:func is only for OOP. Programming in Lua : 16

When calling a method with a : it first references the module in the first argument (commonly referred to as self).

i.e.

local Module = {}
Module.TestVariable = false

function Module.foo(self, Message)
     print(self.TestVariable)
     print(Message)
end

Module.foo("Test")

return Module

You can also define a function with a : to have self be included by default

function Module:foo()
     print(self)
end
