so. i was wondering does modules have the power to be server and client things.?
i am trying to organize so i am starting to use modules but i dont understand them that well can someone help?

so this is my module script

local module = {}

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Variable
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemotesFold = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Remotes")

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Camera Function
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function module.Camera(on)
	local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
	local Folder = workspace:WaitForChild("ViewerFolder"):WaitForChild("Map")
	local overview = Folder:WaitForChild("Overview1")

	if on then
		camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
		camera.CFrame = overview.CFrame
	else
		camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	end
end

return module

and this is my server script

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Variables
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataBase = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Data")
local SessionData = {}
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ModuleFold = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Modules")
local MainModule = require(ModuleFold.Main)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Player Added Event
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	-- Character Added Event
	----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		for _, v in ipairs(char:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA("BasePart") then
				v.Anchored = true
			end
		end
		MainModule.Camera(true)
	end)

	----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	-- Create Leaderstats and Inventory Folders
	----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = plr

	local pleaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	pleaderstats.Name = "pleaderstats"
	pleaderstats.Parent = plr

	local inventory = Instance.new("Folder")
	inventory.Name = "inventory"
	inventory.Parent = plr

	----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	-- Load Player Data
	----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	local success, playerdata
	local attempt = 1

	repeat
		success, playerdata = pcall(function()
			return DataBase:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
		end)
		attempt += 1

		if not success then
			warn(playerdata)
			task.wait(3)
		end
	until success or attempt == 5

	if success then
		print("Data Loaded for: " .. plr.Name)
		if not playerdata then
			warn("Failed loading for: " .. plr.Name .. ", Assigning default data..")
			playerdata = {
				["Kills"] = 0,
				["Guns"] = {"AR"},
			}
		end
		SessionData[plr.UserId] = playerdata
	else
		warn("Couldn't Load any data for: " .. plr.Name)
		plr:Kick("Unable to load your data, please rejoin")
	end

	----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	-- Function to Add Value
	----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	local function addValue(itemType, itemName, defaultValue, visible)
		local parentFolder = visible and plr.leaderstats or plr.pleaderstats
		local item = Instance.new(itemType)
		item.Name = itemName
		item.Parent = parentFolder
		playerdata[itemName] = defaultValue
		item.Value = SessionData[plr.UserId][itemName]
	end

	addValue("NumberValue", "Kills", 0, true)
end)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Player Removing Event
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	if SessionData[plr.UserId] then
		local success, errormsg
		local attempt = 1

		repeat
			success, errormsg = pcall(function()
				DataBase:SetAsync(plr.UserId, SessionData[plr.UserId])
			end)
			attempt += 1

			if not success then
				warn(errormsg)
				task.wait(3)
			end
		until success or attempt == 5

		if success then
			print("Data saved for: " .. plr.Name)
		else
			warn("Unable to save for: " .. plr.Name)
		end
	end
end)

I’m confused of the question… are you asking if modules can be used by server and client?

#3

can i use client stuff and import it to a server script like my script above?

(its not working tho)

#4

Module scripts work on both the server and the client but data written to them at runtime will not replicate across the network.

#5

As @player356377 stated module scripts can be accessed by both the client and the server. If you want to replicate a module script from the client to the server you can use Remote Events

#6

i figured the problem it was sending the camera change from the module to the server which ment it was changing the server side’s camera not the client i had to use a remote to send from the server to the client to use the module from the client (thanks to the people that was helping but i tested some stuff in rbx studio and figured it out by accident)
