Line that requires a module makes script stop/yield?

Hey, so I’m making a fps and everything’s coded and setted up, and the first time playing, nothing worked. I immediately slapped some prints to identify the line, as there were no errors, and looks like the line that requires my fps module is stopping/yielding the script:

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local rs = game.ReplicatedStorage
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
print("print 0") -- prints
local modules = rs:WaitForChild("modules")
local guns = rs:WaitForChild("guns")
local gunRemotes = rs:WaitForChild("gunRemotes")
print("print 1") -- prints
local fpsModule = require(modules:WaitForChild("fpsModule")) -- 😎
print("print 2") -- doesn't print
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local newGuns = {}

There are no errors, such as “module experienced an error while loading”, “infinite yield on line …”, and I’d like to know what is causing it to stop/yield, and hopefully a fix?

Try some print debugging inside fpsModule as well to see if something inside there is holding things up.

Are you also sure you spelled the name in the explorer correctly?

Yup, even if I didn’t, it would give a “infinite yield possible” error.

Thanks for the suggestion, will do that.

your fpsModule has something that yields/prevents returning in it, such as an Event:Wait(), repeat until, while x do, or something of the like.
Check that everything runs quickly, and if it doesn’t wrap it in a coroutine:

coroutine.wrap(function()
    -- code that doesn't run quickly
end)()

I only had a repeat until in my gun fire function, wrapped that into a coroutine but still doesn’t print “print 2”.

    coroutine.wrap(function()
		
		repeat
		
			self.canFire = false
			
			fire()
			
			self.canFire = true
		
		until self.ammo[self.gunName] <= 0 or not self.firing
		
	end)()
