Attempt to call a nil value

Hello, Im trying to make a function that can be fired from a regular script to a module script so I can keep things more organized.

But Im continuously getting this error…

  01:00:20.062  ServerScriptService.Script:8: attempt to call a nil value  -  Server - Script:8
  01:00:20.062  Stack Begin  -  Studio
  01:00:20.062  Script 'ServerScriptService.Script', Line 8  -  Studio - Script:8
  01:00:20.063  Stack End  -  Studio

Script

local module = {}

local AttackZones = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("AttackZones")

local zoneL = AttackZones:WaitForChild("LeftZone")
local zoneR = AttackZones:WaitForChild("RightZone")
local zoneL2 = AttackZones:WaitForChild("LowerZone")
local zoneU = AttackZones:WaitForChild("UpperZone")

local sliderAttack = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Attacks"):WaitForChild("Slider")

function slider(zone)
	if zone == "zoneL" then
		local clonedAttack = sliderAttack:Clone()
		clonedAttack.Position = zoneL
		clonedAttack.Parent = game.Workspace

		for i = 1, 51 do
			clonedAttack.Transparency += 0.02
			clonedAttack.Size += Vector3.new(0,0,1)
		end
	end
end


return module

Is line 8 this?

local zoneU = AttackZones:WaitForChild("UpperZone")

That was the module, this is the script

local attackModule = require(script.Parent:WaitForChild("BulletModule"))

local AttackZones = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("AttackZones")

task.wait(5)
print("yes")

attackModule.slider("zoneL")

You need to make the module script’s function name differently to be seen from the scope you’re accessing.

Try this…

local module = {}

local AttackZones = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("AttackZones")

local zoneL = AttackZones:WaitForChild("LeftZone")
local zoneR = AttackZones:WaitForChild("RightZone")
local zoneL2 = AttackZones:WaitForChild("LowerZone")
local zoneU = AttackZones:WaitForChild("UpperZone")

local sliderAttack = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Attacks"):WaitForChild("Slider")

function module.slider(zone)
	if zone == "zoneL" then
		local clonedAttack = sliderAttack:Clone()
		clonedAttack.Position = zoneL
		clonedAttack.Parent = game.Workspace

		for i = 1, 51 do
			clonedAttack.Transparency += 0.02
			clonedAttack.Size += Vector3.new(0,0,1)
		end
	end
end


return module
