How do I code with module scripts

Hey so I searched the web far and wide and couldn’t figure out how to do this. If you’re confused which you’re probably are let me show a example.

Example

As you can see they have a local/Server script which requires all the module scripts which run the code for the game. But I’m confused on how the run the code. They don’t call any functions or anything. Please and thank you.

#2

When requiring a module, it causes all the code in the module to be ran, and it returns to the caller script whatever the module returned.

#3

Ah so if I had a module like this

local Module = {}

print'Heya'

return Module

This would print “Heya”?

But what if they we’re wrapped in a function to organize the code?

#4

I’m not sure what you mean by this, can you show an example?

To answer your question, yes.

#5 
local Module = {}

local function DoSomething(Arg)
   print(Arg)
end

print'Something else'

return Module

A function to organize the code

#6

You should do this:

local Module = {}

Module.PrintFunction = function (message)
    return message
end

return module

If you want to call it just do:

print( require(game.ServerStorage.Module).PrintFunction("MyMessage")) -- change the game.ServerStorage.Module to your module's path
#7

It will print Something else, but that it is it.

#8

But what I would want to do something like is.

-- In a local/Server script

for _,Module in pairs(script:GetChildren()) do
  require(Module)
end
#9

Ah I see. I shall consult my friend for advice since he is a expert in this. I wanted to come here and practice since he was sleep. Thank you very much!!

#10

Can you just say what do you want to do? Like give player coin or make player do thsis or that or what?
