game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:Connect(function(player, message, recipient)
message = string.lower(message)

    local splitString = message:split(" ")

    local cmdName = splitString[1]

    if commands[cmdName] then

        local arguements = {}


        for i = 2, #splitString, 1 do
            table.insert(arguements,splitString[i])
        end


        commands[cmdName](player, arguements)
    end
end)

end)

This is the error message: Invalid argument #1 to ‘lower’ (string expected, got nil)

Its for the line message = string.lower(message)
as if the chatted function isnt identifying ive typed anything. Tried everything I can so far cant find anything to fix it.

try this?

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.Chatted:Connect(function(player, message, recipient)
        if type(message) == "string" then
            local message = string.lower(message)
            local splitString = message:split(" ")

            local cmdName = splitString[1]

            if commands[cmdName] then

                local arguements = {}

                for i = 2, #splitString, 1 do
                    table.insert(arguements,splitString[i])
                end
   
                commands[cmdName](player, arguements)
            end
        end
    end)
end)

This won’t work, first of all the only parameter of player.Chatted is the message, there are no others. Secondly,

Is unnecessary because the message will always be a string.

As for @La_Conqueror remove the player and recipient parameters, the code should be:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
       
            local message = string.lower(message)
            local splitString = message:split(" ")

            local cmdName = splitString[1]

            if commands[cmdName] then

                local arguements = {}

                for i = 2, #splitString, 1 do
                    table.insert(arguements,splitString[i])
                end
   
                commands[cmdName](player, arguements)
            end
    end)
end)

I don’t know where you got those parameters from
