Im not entirely sure whats going wrong here i just keep getting the error
Attempted to call require with invalid argument(s).
heres the module script

local Talents = {
	["B"] = {
	["Head"] = math.round((DmgV.Value * (gLevel.Value/10))*1.5),
	["Torso"] = math.round((DmgV.Value * (gLevel.Value/10)),
	["None"] = math.round((DmgV.Value * (gLevel.Value/10))*0.7)},
	
	["C"]  = {["None"] = math.round((DmgV.Value * (gLevel.Value/10))*math.random(0.00, 2.10))},
	
	["D"] =  {
	["Head"] = math.round((DmgV.Value * (gLevel.Value/10))*1.5),
	["Torso"] = math.round((DmgV.Value * (gLevel.Value/10))+ ((DmgV.Value *(gLevel.Value/10))/0.30)),
	["None"] = math.round((DmgV.Value * (gLevel.Value/10))*0.7)}
}


return Talents

and heres the require

local M = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Talents)

Not sure whats going on here but id like some sort of fix to this :heart:

I guess your ["Torso"] value has a missing closing parenthesis, causing the error?

#3

ive fixxed some of the weird parenthesis, and it still erros

local Talents = {
	["B"] = {
	["Head"] = math.round((DmgV.Value * (gLevel.Value/10))*1.5),
	["Torso"] = math.round((DmgV.Value * (gLevel.Value/10))),
	["None"] = math.round((DmgV.Value * (gLevel.Value/10)*0.7))},
	
	["C"]  = {["None"] = math.round((DmgV.Value * (gLevel.Value/10))*math.random(0.00, 2.10))},
	
	["D"] =  {
	["Head"] = math.round((DmgV.Value * (gLevel.Value/10))*1.5),
	["Torso"] = math.round((DmgV.Value * (gLevel.Value/10))+ ((DmgV.Value *(gLevel.Value/10))/0.30)),
	["None"] = math.round((DmgV.Value * (gLevel.Value/10))*0.7)}
}


return Talents

That error means you’re calling the require() function with an argument that isn’t a ModuleScript, e.g. passing a server Script or LocalScript as a parameter. So this has nothing to do with the Talents module’s code, but rather the script requiring Talents.

If you can confirm that game.ReplicatedStorage.Talents points to exactly one instance that is a ModuleScript, I have no idea what could be wrong unless you misread the error’s source or forgot to commit a script.

Heres the error i get

and the require is at the top of the script
also i dont know if it matters but im using it as

character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(M["B"])
#6

OmgV.Value and gLevel.Value not defined in the module script?

#7

Try doing a

print(game.ReplicatedStorage.Talents.ClassName)

before the require to see what that says.

A not too uncommon mistake is naming a folder or something the same thing which might accidentally cause the require to try getting that instead.

There was a folder with the same name forgot i was testing some morestuff,
but now i got a new problem

i thought code wouldn’t run in the module script?
(Edit, i have the values unique in each tool)

When you run require it goes through all of the code as though you just put the entire script in a function and called it (though it can’t access the variables of the script that required it directly). I don’t know where/if you are defining DmgV or gLevel in your module script but one or both are nil.

ive defined them both before i run the require

local tool = script.Parent
local FEvent = tool.fe
local REvent = tool.re
local FastC = require(tool.FastCastRedux)
local PC = require(tool.PartCache)
local cA = FastC.new()
local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local BFolder = workspace.BFolder
local BTemplate = BFolder:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Part")
local shotTime = tick()
local fireRate = tool.FireRate.Value
local timeLimit = 2/3
local minS = 0.5
local maxS = 2
local EXP = tool.CurrentExp
local rEXP = tool.ReqExp
local gLevel = tool.GunLevel
local DmgV = tool.Damage
local M = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Talents)

You’ve defined them in the script that you are calling require in. Module scripts have their own scope though. Just treat a module script as it’s own script because it kind of is. You can just access returned data in a module script from another script. Not the other way around though.

You can however make a function in that module script that you could use to pass in data, but then you can’t really use that data until the function is called.

#12

i just made a quick fix with inputing the module script in the tool and then defining the values, althought this isnt what i really wanted as if i wanted to add more “Talents” i would need to go through every tool’s module script

(edit)
Never mind something else broke now

#13

Also on a unrelated note, is it better for each tool to have its own fastcast & partcache module or should i have each tool only use one module in replicated storage?

#14

If it’s possible to put them in replicated storage and have everything reference that one modulescript that is better than having many copies.
