Hello. I am very new to Lua script, and it is very apparent that I am very bad at it. I am not sure if I should even be asking questions.

I am trying to change the value of the variable in this module script, using a script inside a button. But, it gives me this error. Why does it do this? Also, if necessary, I am making a clicking “simulator” game.

(ERROR)

 Players.myName.PlayerGui.ClickGui.ClickButton.Script:5: attempt to perform arithmetic (add) on nil and number

moduleScript (ReplicatedStorage.myData)

local module = {}
  myMoney = 1
return module

the button script (ClickGui.ClickButton.Script)

myMoney = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.myData)

function click ()
	print("worked")
	myMoney = myMoney.variable + 1
	print(myMoney.variable)
end



script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(click)

Thank you

You module script should look like this:

local module = {}
	module.myMoney = 1
return module

and the button script:

myMoney = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.myData)

function click ()
	print("worked")
	myMoney.myMoney += 1
	print(myMoney.myMoney)
end



script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(click)
