Boolvalue.Value isn't working when sent to module script

I have 2 scripts (One a Server script, the other a ModuleScript) the server script fires a function in the module scripts and sends in some variables. Here are the scripts:

Server Script;

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local DS2 = require(script.Parent.Parent.DS2Module)
local SDMModule = require(script.Parent.Parent.SDMModule)

ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Events.SDM.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	local PlayerIdFolder = ServerStorage:FindFirstChild(Player.UserId.." Folder")
	if PlayerIdFolder then
		if Player.Character then
			local Character = Player.Character
			local Tool = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")
			if Tool then
				if Tool:FindFirstChild("Active") and Tool.Active:IsA("BoolValue") then
					local Active = Tool.Active
					if Active.Value == false then
						Active = true
						SDMModule(Tool, Player, DS2, Active) 
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

ModuleScript;

local function CheckSDM(SelectedTool, Player, DS2, Active)
	
	local function StrengthTool(StatName)
		local BasePlayerData = DS2(StatName.."Dat" or "StrengthDat", Player):Get()
		local MultiPlayerData = DS2(StatName.."MultDat" or "StrengthMultDat", Player):Get()
		if Active.Value == true then
			BasePlayerData:Increment(MultiPlayerData)
			wait(2)
			Active.Value = false
			return Active
		end
	end
	
	local function ResistanceTool(StatName)
		local BasePlayerData = DS2(StatName.."Dat" or "DefenseDat", Player):Get()
		local MultiPlayerData = DS2(StatName.."MultDat" or "DefenseMultDat", Player):Get()
		if Active.Value == true then
			BasePlayerData:Increment(MultiPlayerData)
			wait(2)
			Active.Value = false
			return Active
		end
	end
	
	local function MeditationTool(StatName)
		local BasePlayerData = DS2(StatName.."Dat" or "MagicDat", Player):Get()
		local MultiPlayerData = DS2(StatName.."MultDat" or "MagicMultDat", Player):Get()
		if Active.Value == true then
			BasePlayerData:Increment(MultiPlayerData)
			wait(2)
			Active.Value = false
			return Active
		end
	end
	
	if string.find(SelectedTool.Name, "Meditate") then
		MeditationTool("Magic")
	end
	
	if string.find(SelectedTool.Name, "Strength") then
		StrengthTool("Strength")
	end
	
	if string.find(SelectedTool.Name, "Resistance") then
		ResistanceTool("Defense")
	end
end

return CheckSDM

The problem is in the modulescript when I use Active.Value (Active is a BoolValue) it errors and says attempt to index boolean with ‘Value’.

BasePlayerData:Increment(MultiPlayerData)
wait(2)
Active.Value = false
return Active

In your server script, change the line before sending it to the module to Active.Value = true.
You are sending true to the module rather than the object because the line before changes Active’s reference from the object Tool.Active to a Boolean or true which is sent.

Oh! I didn’t see that .Value wasn’t there, thanks!
