This question has been solved by the original poster.

(im doing team create with my friend) I'm trying to make a chatted event yet when I try try to do anything with the message it returns it says it's nil:

attempt to call a nil value

heres my script: (by the way i've tried changing the 6 to 7 and 5 yet nothing changed)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
        if msg:Sub(1,6) == "/e test" then
            print('Wowies!!!')
        end
    end)
end)

Your issue is using :Sub and not :sub. Example using lua.org:

Input:

print(("string"):Sub(1,3))

Output:

input:1: attempt to call a nil value (method 'Sub')

Fixed input:

print(("string"):sub(1,3))

Output:

str
