  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I would like on chatting /e pvz, you would start dancing and a song would play.
    I don’t think there was any errors, but it did not work at all.
    LOCAL SCRIPT
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:wait()
local humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local run = Instance.new("Animation")

run.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://5496426679"
local runtrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(run)
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local dance = "/e pvz"
local function dance(player)
local function onPlayerChatted(player, message)
		if message:sub(1, dance:len()):lower() == dance() then
			runtrack:Play()
game.Workspace.Dance:Play()

It should be:

if message:sub(1, dance:len()):lower() == dance then
---

You also had () after dance, “dance” isn’t a function.
And why do you have a empty function without end(s)?

I did add that exact line to the script
Anyways, I did remove the function though, thanks for telling me, however it still doesnt work

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:wait()
local humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local run = Instance.new("Animation")

run.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://5496426679"
local runtrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(run)
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local dance = "/e pvz"
local function onPlayerChatted(player, message)
		if message:sub(1, dance:len()):lower() == dance() then
			runtrack:Play()
			game.Workspace.Dance:Play()	
		end
	end

You never call the function, here’s the fixed script:

local plr = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- :wait() is deprecated
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local run = Instance.new("Animation")
run.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://5496426679"

local runtrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(run)
local dance = "/e pvz"

plr.Chatted:Connect(function(Message)
	if Message:lower() == dance then
		runtrack:Play()
	end
end)
