I agree it does run against the principle of a ModuleScript, however I think it’s best to try and help regardless

okay so I was able to get a script running client sided code using @HugeCoolboy2007 's runcontext. The issue is that

local module = require(script.Parent)

module:run()
is that run is not a valid method of module as proposed by @silver4804

You’re best bet is to have the module return a function which can return a table while running code
I just want the code inside of the module to run like a normal script on start time. So however I call the module I need to do so to activate the code on runtime
You’d need a regular script/localscript for this

just saying that i usually see that type of stuff go into replicatedStorage, which also fixes your previous problem of your localScript not running on workspace
local module = {}
function module.run()
print("Hello World")
end
return module
changed the : to ., pretty sure it should work
i’m not sure why you would want a modulescript to run like a normal script when serverscripts/localscripts are there. it’s called modulescripts for a reason. to store multiple functions that can be used on different scripts… and data
I transferred the code that runs on start to a script with runcontext:

No way you put your mark on a script (basically text) that can remove your name
i dont think you have ever taken a computer science class in your life or learned any copyright knowledge
Are you flexing your CompScience class? Most programmers don’t even have that and they’re considered greats. Also, you’d normally put your mark on something that’ll get distributed to others (normally free). But in this context, it’s just text and to make it worse it’s supposed to be an example. And not to roast you or anything but your code looks similar to something i wrote in my first month while I saw self learning to code. I guess those Comp science skills aren’t coming in handy
scripts now have a runcontext property, set that to client rather than server
you were the one who started making fun of me putting a copyright notice in my code. I dont know why you are starting devforum beef bro go to sleep
I wasn’t necessarily making fun of you (sorry in advance if I did) but it’s just something I’ve never seen on thr forums… Ever. So I just overreacted a little bit but im not trying to start online beef 
I didnt manually type it. I have a plugin which automatically formats my scripts like that so its not like I put effort into making it copyrighted or something.
