Hey everyone, currently I’m working on a project that is trying to make a better functions (don’t ask why lol). Basically the issue I am having is that when I use the function, I can’t do the extension. You know how they have :Fire() or .Load at the end of their require.

local lib = {}

function lib.require(id)
	require(id) -- how do i do the thingy at the end? .load("abayneh12")
end

Help needed, thanks!

put the return keyword before require(), then you should be able to use the modules contents outside of the function

You can’t, it’s part of Roblox’s API.

Attempt of simplifying require v1:

function require2(target: number | Instance): any
	if type(target) == "number" then
		local InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")
		target = InsertService:LoadAsset(target):GetChildren()[1]
	elseif typeof(target) ~= "Instance" then
		error("Attempted to call require with invalid argument(s).")
	end
	return require(target)
end

If you can, check my other post. I accidentally created this one.
