I'm trying to make a message command for when you say lib.cmds:msg.hi and it'd say "[lib] hi" but instead it errors out. Please help!

You are setting msg to a new instance on line 85, so it is not a string by the time it gets to line 87.

By setting msg=Instance.new("Message"), you overwrite the string that it used to be. On line 87, you call string.sub(msg,14), but you just set msg to something that is not a string, so it wont work. IStarConquestI 414 — 5y

To manipulate any string, you need to make sure it's actually a string. You said it is but if you go back to that line, the message is an instance so if you try to "sub" an instance, it won't work.
I think you forgot to do msg.Text but instead you did msg alone.
To fix it, change this line in Line 87:
1 | msg.Text = "[lib] "..string.sub(msg,14) |
To this
1 | msg.Text = "[lib] "..string.sub(msg.Text,14) |
