Hello! , Is require() costly performance wise when used a lot?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have many scripts that have the same function, but just with diffeernt parameters. I was thinking to create a module script so only 1 function would be used and so I wouldn’t repeat myself.

would look something like this.

– script 1
module.Function(24, true)

– script 2
module.Function(32,false)

– script 3
module.Function(10,true)

But the question is, I have many scripts. Around 20 that will have this same function, so I would just like to now if it is okay to require() the same module multiple times?

It should be ok as long as you don’t spam require. You only need to require once then you can use the functions and data of the module.

local module = require(ble)

end

No problem bro!

Almost every single front page game uses modules with 1000’s of lines of code. If they weren’t good then no one would use them.
