@Destroying a ModuleScript doesn't stop execution

ow require() works internally, however, I can provide some observations and try to prove them. See the steps taken below. My hypothesis: Once the module script is required, it is strongly re

It isn’t a ModuleScript in this case but I did find a solution I am ok with…

workspace.DefineScript

local stop = Instance.new("BindableFunction",workspace);stop.Name = "Stop";
function stop.OnInvoke(scr)
	wait() -- This yield seems to make all the difference
	scr:Destroy()
	print (scr,"Destroyed!")
end

This is good enough because the calling thread can’t continue as it is waiting for the Stop BindableFunction to return a result, and will likely be terminated before it gets its answer. The magic happens in the wait() statement, as the old thread relinquishes control to a new/other thread.
