Module Script Won't Work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello Developers! :wave:

My Module Script won’t print anything. Module Script:

local module = {}


module.countDown = function(start, stop, step, secToWait)
	
	for second = start, stop, step do
		print(second)
		wait(secToWait)
	end
end


return module

Script:

local moduleScript = require(game:GetService("ServerStorage").ModuleScript)


moduleScript.countDown(10, 0, -1, 1)

Thanks! :wave:

Hello, how are you doing?
Try putting prints before and after everything, like this:

-- Script
print("before module")
moduleScript.countDown(10, 0, -1, 1)
print("after module")

-- Module script

module.countDown = function(start, stop, step, secToWait)

	print("module countdown called")
	for second = start, stop, step do
		print(second)
		wait(secToWait)
		print("waited "..secToWait.." seconds")
	end
	print("countdown ended")

end

After you run the script, please show you’re console and the prints!
Note: Make sure the script that is calling the module script is a server script.

Try changing it to this:

function module.countDown(start, stop, step, secToWait)
    for second = start, stop, step do
		print(second)
		wait(secToWait)
	end
end

Also change the “module” at the start and bottom to the script name!

They do the same thing though.

Well, not exactly. Also did you read the wiki? If not here you go: ModuleScript | Roblox Creator Documentation

Nvm, I accidently placed the script inside server-storage.

It’s the same, it works fine it’s bc I placed the script inside server storage

#8

I dont understand why. Also that should’ve been the first thing you have checked.

Oh, so all this time that was the issue all along…
Glad you figured out the problem!
