Module Scripts - Variable Error

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am currently using a module script located in replicated storage that holds many functions that I take from other scripts.

local module = {}
local variable = ""
local variable2=""
local variable3=""
module.myFunction = function()
    -- Function stuff that uses the variables above
end
return module

The module script is not running and it’s not giving me an error either. Am I supposed to put the variable definitions inside of every single function?
(I have print statements to test if every line is running, and they are)

Can you show us the part where you call the function?

#3 
local elevators = workspace.Elevators
local action = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.ElevatorScripts)
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if elevators.Elevator.Floor.Value == 2 and elevators.Elevator.currentlyMoving.Value == false then
		action:OpenUpperDoors()
	elseif elevators.Elevator.Floor.Value == 1 and elevators.Elevator.currentlyMoving.Value == false then
		elevators.Elevator.currentlyMoving = true
		action:ElevatorUp()
		action:OpenUpperDoors()
		elevators.Elevator.currentlyMoving = false
	else
		game.StarterGui.allGui.ElevatorError.Visible = true
	end
end)

The modulescript isn’t committed, but I’m not sure if that affects the test run.

#5

instead of action:ElevatorUp() try action.ElevatorUp()

Doens’t make sense but somehow worked! Thanks

It’s basically because you defined the function in the as module.myFunction and not module:myFunction()

This is what I was thinking may have been the problem, but wasn’t entirely sure due to the fact they never showed how they defined the function
