Module Script Table not a valid member

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I am trying to get a cooldown to use as a wait, yes I’m not using task.wait currently, I’ll fix that later, but it keeps popping up the error

DecodedAttack is not a valid member of ModuleScript "ServerScriptService.Attack-Related_Scripts.ClassModules.Peasant"

for [DecodedAttack] in

wait(require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService")["Attack-Related_Scripts"].ClassModules[ClassKey][DecodedAttack][DecodedAttack.."_Cooldown"]))

The original function is below.

Script 
local function AttackAnimation(player, ID, Class, Attack)
	local animator = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):FindFirstChild("Animator")
	local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
	Animation.AnimationId = HttpService:JSONDecode(ID)
	
	local AnimationLoaded = animator:LoadAnimation(Animation)
	AnimationLoaded:Play()
	AnimationLoaded.Priority = 1
	
	local ClassKey = HttpService:JSONDecode(Class)
	local DecodedAttack = HttpService:JSONDecode(Attack)
	print(DecodedAttack)
	
	wait(require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService")["Attack-Related_Scripts"].ClassModules[ClassKey].DecodedAttack[DecodedAttack.."_Cooldown"]))
Module Script 
local Peasant = {
	Attack1 = {
		Attack1_AnimationId = "rbxassetid://6550920054", --Attack1 Animation Id
		Attack1_Damage = 10, -- Attack Damage
		Attack1_StatDamage = 0.1,
		Attack1_Cooldown = 1.5
	};
	Attack2 = {
		Attack2_AnimationId = "rbxassetid://7070234299",
		Attack2_Damage = 15,
		Attack2_StatDamage = 0.3,
		Attack2_Cooldown = 5
	};
	Attack3 = { Attack3_AnimationId = "rbxassetid://7071810900",
		Attack3_Damage = 7,
		Attack3_Ticks = 2,
		Attack3_TBT = 0.5, --Time Between Ticks
		Attack3_StatDamage = 0.2,
		Attack3_Cooldown = 4
	}
}
return Peasant

I have tried testing out a few things like using [ClassKey] again since the module script and table of Decoded Attack have the same name and have ClassKey twice for the same reason.

It has to do with how you’re requiring it:

Try this:

wait(require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService")["Attack-Related_Scripts"].ClassModules[ClassKey])[DecodedAttack][DecodedAttack.."_Cooldown"])

I also suggest you try using variables, it’ll clean your code right up:

local classKeyModule = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService")["Attack-Related_Scripts"].ClassModules[ClassKey])
wait(classKeyModule[DecodedAttack][DecodedAttack.."_Cooldown"])

Oh thanks, I’ll try, and is the parenthesis in

[ClassKey])

supposed to be there?

Yeah, that parenthesis should be there.

Thanks, it works now, question though, what was the error from my original line from? I want to know if possible to avoid it again, just the parenthesis?

Yeah basically just the location of the parenthesis.

Basically, to break it down, what you were doing is:

local var = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")["Attack-Related_Scripts"].ClassModules[ClassKey][DecodedAttack][DecodedAttack.."_Cooldown"]
var = require(var)
wait(var)

And since DecodedAttack doesn’t exist inside of the ClassModules[ClassKey] module, that’s what was throwing the error.

Thanks, I see what it was now. Thanks again for the help.
