As @TimeFrenzied said, you dont have to unpack the table as it does that process for you in the module.
Don’t use the module on the server, as I have forgotten to make it so the module uses the heartbeat event instead of the renderstepped event for server-use.
Im still getting the error… that didnt fix the root cause when i called it using a client script.
Error: ReplicatedStorage.BloodEngine:110: invalid argument #1 to ‘unpack’ (table expected, got nil)
Can you show me the .new() line inside of the module?

That’s an outdated version of the module, I assume its from the source code on GitHub since I forgot to update it.
So is the github code updated or do I use the RBLX model link instead?
Use the Roblox model for now. And may I ask did you use the BloodEngine file provided with the latest release on GitHub?
I would assume so?
I’m on the main branch but I see the BloodModule file in the src folder has not been updated for 3 weeks. Maybe a commit issue?
Edit: I see the new code as a release on the sidebar. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Report back to me if its the same as the src code, just to make sure its not outdated and if you still encounter bugs.
Thanks! everything works good now!
Hey, I have a Issue with the Blood Module. Its said attempt to index nil with ‘Emit’
And when i’m trying to do in a LocalScript There is no Blood. How Do i fix that ?
i fixed the issue. Its Working now
Hi,
What did you do to fix it ?
Thanks
Please share your code. It is possible your blood instance has missing information or isn’t fully formed.
We cannot provide assistance without a baseline to see what error you can be having.
I’m guessing Emit is nil because you tried to use the module on the server, which doesn’t wont work.
↳ General Changes
Included a showcase place on the GitHub repository.
Added a more efficient way to change the settings:UpdateSettings.
Is there a way to do this on the server?
There is, but why would you want to do this? Just wondering.
