Error when loading module

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I’ve been working on a combat system and I’m having an error that’s too hard to fix.

The error is to keep a record of the first spawned character when a character respawns.

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this error, a fluke fixed it some time ago, but I’m not sure what the exact reason it’s appearing is.

The first change I made was to the script to load the module.

require(script:WaitForChild("Client")):new()

I don’t know the exact reason as this script just loads the module.

The second script is Module_Client which loads all modules.

local module = {}

function module:new()
local Utils = script:WaitForChild("Utils")
local FunctionModule = require(Utils:WaitForChild("FunctionModule"))
local Animate = require(script:WaitForChild("Animate"))
local Dash = require(script:WaitForChild("Dash"))
local MeleeClient = require(script:WaitForChild("MeleeClient"))
local Sprint = require(script:WaitForChild("Sprint"))
local Jump = require(script:WaitForChild("Jump"))
local OnClientEvents = require(script:WaitForChild("OnClientEvents"))
local Falling = require(script:WaitForChild("Falling"))

FunctionModule:Inti()
end

return module

I’ve searched a lot on how to fix this problem, but I can’t find the exact reason. This problem is an error that appears on the server as well as on the client, and it is an error that appears when loading the module.

For reference, this script is used by StarterCharacterScripts.

Did you possibly misspell :Init()?

Also, you should probably change :new() into .new as you don’t need access to self.

If there’s an error log, please send that if the above doesn’t fix your issue!

Now that I checked, Module_Client seems to be working fine, but there seems to be a problem with the modules loaded into the Module_Client module.

So what’s the error? Add a debug.trackback() to your loading module script so you can track those errors. I’m not sure if you added any error handling to your module loader so you might want to wrap the loading part in a pcall().
