I have a module script in ReplicatedStorage. It doesn’t give any errors, but it does not work.
Do I use require() or game.InsertService?

local Hotdog = {}
local PossibleColors = {
	["red"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0);
	["orange"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 140, 0);
	["yellow"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 239, 3);
	["green"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0);
	["blue"] = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 255);
	["purple"] = Color3.fromRGB(157, 0, 255);
	["pink"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 251);
	["black"] = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0);
	["white"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255);
	["tan"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 223, 147);
}

function Hotdog.new(BUNCOLOR)
	if BUNCOLOR == "red" then
		local NEWHOTDOG = game.InsertService:LoadAsset(5919806610) -- Here
		NEWHOTDOG.Name = "Hotdog"
		NEWHOTDOG.Bun.Color = PossibleColors.red
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "orange" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "yellow" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "green" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "blue" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "purple" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "pink" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "black" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "white" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "tan" then
		-- not
	end
end

return Hotdog

Yes, I have a module script with the name MainModule inside of the Model

Where did I go wrong?

#2

add this after the local NEWHOTDOG:

NEWHOTDOG = NEWHOTDOG:GetChildren()[1]

InsertService inserts a model with what was requested inside.

#3

Nothing still happened. Do I do this?

local Hotdog = {}
local PossibleColors = {
	["red"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0);
	["orange"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 140, 0);
	["yellow"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 239, 3);
	["green"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0);
	["blue"] = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 255);
	["purple"] = Color3.fromRGB(157, 0, 255);
	["pink"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 251);
	["black"] = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0);
	["white"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255);
	["tan"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 223, 147);
}

function Hotdog.new(BUNCOLOR)
	if BUNCOLOR == "red" then
		local NEWHOTDOG = game.InsertService:LoadAsset(5919806610)
		NEWHOTDOG = NEWHOTDOG:GetChildren()[1]
		NEWHOTDOG.Name = "Hotdog"
		NEWHOTDOG.Bun.Color = PossibleColors.red
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "orange" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "yellow" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "green" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "blue" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "purple" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "pink" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "black" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "white" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "tan" then
		-- not
	end
end

return Hotdog

I assume the error is when you are trying to set the Bun’s Color. Use this:

BrickColor.new()

Instead of Color3.fromRGB() as parts use BrickColor and not Color3.

I have an error, what’s an ient
It says InsertService can’t load assets from it

local Hotdog = {}
local PossibleColors = {
	["red"] = BrickColor.new("Really red");
	["orange"] = BrickColor.new("Neon orange");
	["yellow"] = BrickColor.new("Bright yellow");
	["green"] = BrickColor.new("Bright green");
	["blue"] = BrickColor.new("Baby blue");
	["purple"] = BrickColor.new("Royal purple");
	["pink"] = BrickColor.new("Pink");
	["black"] = BrickColor.new("Black");
	["white"] = BrickColor.new("White");
	["tan"] = BrickColor.new("Buttermilk");
}

function Hotdog.new(BUNCOLOR)
	if BUNCOLOR == "red" then
		local NEWHOTDOG = game.InsertService:LoadAsset(5919806610)
		NEWHOTDOG = NEWHOTDOG:GetChildren()[1]
		NEWHOTDOG.Name = "Hotdog"
		NEWHOTDOG.Bun.BrickColor = PossibleColors.red
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "orange" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "yellow" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "green" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "blue" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "purple" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "pink" then

	elseif BUNCOLOR == "black" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "white" then
		-- not
	elseif BUNCOLOR == "tan" then
		-- not
	end
end

You need to use require(AssetID) to use modulescripts from Roblox Website.

You don’t need to change Color3.fromRGB(R,G,B)s in your code to BrickColor.new(BrickColorName)s, both should work fine in this scenario.

You also don’t need that many elseifs in your code either way. You can just do this if the only accepted colour is red:

if BUNCOLOR == "red" then
	local NEWHOTDOG = require(5919806610)
	NEWHOTDOG = NEWHOTDOG:GetChildren()[1]
	NEWHOTDOG.Name = "Hotdog"
	NEWHOTDOG.Bun.BrickColor = PossibleColors.red
else 

end

If all colour are accepted you can just do this too:

function Hotdog.new(BUNCOLOR)
	local NEWHOTDOG = require(5919806610)
	NEWHOTDOG = NEWHOTDOG:GetChildren()[1]
	NEWHOTDOG.Name = "Hotdog"
	NEWHOTDOG.Bun.BrickColor = PossibleColors[BUNCOLOR]
end

error
It’s a module script

#8

You’re trying to call a modulescript that’s on Roblox Website from a localscript? I’m afraid that’s not possible, you have to add that modulescript to your game directly from the start to call it from the client, like ReplicatedStorage for example.

#9

will this work

local hotdog = workspace:WaitForChild(game.InsertService:LoadAsset(5919806610).Name)

nevermind I got the same error before the client error
I will look into it later

#10

all I can think of which is probably wrong is cloning a model from ServerStorage, but that’s going to be used in scripting, not building in studio
