Can't call function in module script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I tried to call a function from a module script and it gives an error called “Argument 2 missing or nil”

LocalScript:

local module = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Drone)
local drone = game.StarterPlayer.StarterCharacter
local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

local newDrone = module.new(drone)

ContextActionService:BindAction("Forwards", module.forward, false, Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterForward)

P.S. Yep, I used a metatable in module script.

Any reply would help, I’m stuck with this for now.

#3

Try capitalizing local module to Module, if the same error occurs try debugging the second argument in BindAction.

#4

Well it didn’t work, how do I debug it?

Edit: Is it about me adding a self to the function I am trying to run?

#5

Is module.forward a value or a function? I would try printing the argument before using it in function.

#6

Module.forward is a function. And I’ll try to print the argument out but how?

Edit: I printed it out and it says nil.

#7

Oh then add () after module.forward

#8

Does not work, I get an error saying: attempt to call nil value and when I print the function it says nil.

#9

What is the function called inside the module script?

#10

The function is called forwards, I made it forwards and I still get that error.

Edit: I meant I changed the name that I put in the binding action but I still get the error.

Edit 2: Whenever I remove the parentheses I get an error saying argument 2 missing or nil.

#11

Is the argument is missing in BindAction or the function your calling?

#12

It misses in the Bind Action but whenever I add the parentheses back It says attempt to call a nil value. Is this about me printing the function and getting nil?

Edit: I believe this is because I’m using OOP and adding self as an argument?

#13

Your function probably requires values and this is where u put your values…
Exp: module.forward(button)
the button is an instance in this example that you want to transfer to the function in the module script.

#14

Well my functions do have arguments but it also has an argument called “self”, do I need to add that?

Edit: I am still getting the error.

#15

Can I have look at the module script you’re referring to? You can delete what’s inside the function if u want to keep it private.

#16

This is the only function that I am trying to call for now:

#17

Is the code is in same script?

#18

It is not, the function is in a module script and I am trying to call it in a LocalScript.

#19

Try game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Drone") in your require() call.

#20

Still getting the same error where I try to call the function.
