My script detects if somebody said walter and prints their name.Later i'm going to teleport to them but for now its print.

for i,currentPlayersChatting in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
    currentPlayersChatting.Chatted:connect(function(speaker, msg)
if string.lower(msg) == "walter" then
    print(speaker.Name)
end
    end)
        end

The problem is that .Chatted does not have speaker and message. It only has message.

Read more about it here

Your fixed script would be:

for i,currentPlayersChatting in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
    currentPlayersChatting.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
if string.lower(msg) == "walter" then
    print(currentPlayersChatting.Name)
end
    end)
        end

Also, keep in mind how .Chatted works is like this: PlayerInstance.Chatted.
