Model not being recognised in module script loop

[scavengingbot]

It isn’t, one is a dot ( . ) the other a colon ( : ).
One just does a member access, the other does a member access and passes self as the first argument.

It’s not the same.
Look closer, it’s : and .
They look really similar between quotes tho.

[GodOfPeacefulDeath (Cosmic)]

When you use the dot (.) to call a function (e.g., module.EnableJoints(args)), the function just receives the arguments you pass to it.

function module.EnableJoints(arg1)
    --
end

module.EnableJoints("Hello")

Here, EnableJoints gets "Hello" as the argument arg1.

When you use the colon (:), Lua automatically passes the table (module) as the first argument to the function, followed by any other arguments.

function module:EnableJoints(arg1)
    -- 'self' refers to the module itself
    print(self)  -- This prints the module
    print(arg1)  -- This prints "Hello"
end

module:EnableJoints("Hello")

In this case, self (the module) is automatically passed as the first argument, and "Hello" is passed as the second argument (arg1).

(correct me if wrong)

I have tried this but now whenever i reset character, the humanoid breaks all of its joints when in a function earlier in the script

function RagdollService.SetUpHumanoid(character)
     local Humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
     Humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
     Humanoid.RequiresNeck = false
end

It was working when i used : instead
