"Module code did not return exactly one value" Error on my first OOP

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

This is meant to chance day/night and also show it on the screen!
the ModuleScript I made,

local timer = {}
timer.__index = timer

function timer.new()
	local self = setmetatable({},timer)
	game.Lighting.ClockTime = 0
	self.enabled = false
	return self
end

function timer:Start()
	self.enabled = true
	coroutine.wrap(function()
		while self.enabled do
			game.Lighting.ClockTime += 0.01 -- Don't touch it or the Day/Night Cycle will get ruined!
			local hour = math.floor(game.Lighting.ClockTime)
			local hour12 = hour%13
			local minute = ((game.Lighting.ClockTime - hour)*10)%60
			local timePeriod = math.ceil(hour/12)
			local period
			if timePeriod == 2 then
				period = "PM"
			else
				period = "AM"
			end
			local theString = tostring(hour12..":"..minute..period)
			game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").GlobalTime:FireAllClients(theString)
			wait(0.01)
		end
	end)()
end

function timer:Pause()
	self.enabled = false
end

the Script I used to call,

local module = require(script.ModuleScript)

The error I got,

  • Module code did not return exactly one value

I am new to OOP and I don’t exactly know what value is getting returned…

Did you forget to do return timer at the end of the modulescirpt?
