Hello.
So here all i’m trying to do is require() a module script. Like I did here:
print("Moduleeeee") doesn’t work.
Here is a picture of my Explorer. The E script inside the remote is the one that requires the module script. The module script is the thing called DamageModule.
Can anyone help me?
Could there be anything in the DamageModule that is halting? Can you show us what’s in DamageModule? Your WaitForChild shouldn’t be the issue since You located the module correctly
Here is the DamageModule :
--< SERVICES >--
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local plrs = game:GetService("Players")

local function Format(value, idp)
local ex = math.floor(math.log(math.max(1, math.abs(value)),1000))

--< RETURNING MODULE >--
return damageModule
And if you’re wondering what the hit paramenter is, basically (from the server script) i’m calling the module script when they touch a part.
Did you check in the explorer if the Damage Module still exist prior to you playtesting the game in studio?
ServerScripts dont need to use WaitForChild in most cases. Try Require it without the WaitForChild or switching to FindFirstChild.
Nope. Unfortunately, I tried both but it still doesn’t print “Moduleeeee”
Is the tool located in workspace when the module is required? What may be happening is that it is printing but since in Studio you are on the client, You aren’t seeing the server output
No, it’s in the StarterPack. How can I make it so it prints in the server?
You can try putting it in workspace as a test or when you play the game switch the output to server
It works in the Workspace. But I would like it to work also when I have the tool in the Backpack tho…
The module will be required even if it is in starterpack, You just won’t see the print on the client.
Oh okay, so the I won’t see the print in the Output but my code will still work?
Yep! Since you are using a serverscript to print the code, This will run on the server. When you play the game you are automatically on the client and the client does not have access to the server.
Does it send an error starting with infinite yield on? If no, this means the code works perfectly fine.
If the problem is resolved, Make sure to mark it as solved so other people who have this problem can find the fix easily.
