Can my dad came me if I lived in a different state, made more than 18000 working, was only a full time student for 2 months, and he wasn't my support?

*Claim me. I also had to pay state taxes and he didn't.

From your information, your dad can only claim you as a dependent if you were under 19 at the end of 2018. If you are 19 or older, he cannot claim you as a dependent.

I'm 21, my dad's tax guy was the one who told him we could do it. He would get 506 from it and I only get 238 claiming myself.

Your dads "tax guy" does not know the tax law.   Your are too old and made too much to be a dependent of anyone.

You do not meet the requirement to be a full-time student:  *A full-time student is a student who is enrolled for the number of hours or courses the school considers to be full-time attendance during some part of each of any 5 calendar months of the year.
