#1

Is there a way to transfer functions/methods to another metatable?

like this one it’s just combine Variables

setmetatable(tableA, { __index = tableB })

I want Variables and Methods Combine into another metatable

Like this?

local tableB = require(script.b)
local tableA = {}
tableA = setmetatable(tableA, { __index = tableA})
function tableA.new()
	local self = tableB.new()
	return self
end
return tableA

Lemme know if this works.

You could try setting __index to a function and combining the two.

local function combineMetatables<ClassA, ClassB>(ClassA: ClassA, ClassB: ClassB): (ClassA & ClassB)
    local self = setmetatable({}, {__index = function(_self: ClassA & ClassB, key: any): any?
        if ClassA[key] then
            return ClassA[key]
        elseif ClassB[key] then
            return ClassB[key]
        else
            return nil
        end
    end})
end
