I am new to modulescripts.I used a modulescript for handling NPC blood and pathfinding, however it broke on the modulescripts module.MakePath(). The first input of the function which is npc, suddenly turned into a table that contained all of the module’s functions when I printed it. (also searched on the devforum for this problem, but couldn’t find anything)
local module = {}
local pathfindingservice = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local bloodtable = {}
module.UpdateBloodQueue = function(details)
table.insert(bloodtable,1,details)
end
module.GetBloodQueue = function()
return bloodtable
end
module.ResetBloodQueue = function()
bloodtable = {}
end

local target = nil

local ignore = false
if isranged == true then
ignore = true
else
if table.find(unabletotargettable,instancechecked) then
ignore = nil
else
ignore = true
end
end
return ignore
end

detectcheck = distance < ((1 - v.Character.Torso.Transparency) * range) and distance < lowestdistance and v.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0
if detectcheck then
lowestdistance = distance

Was there a thing about modulescripts I missed?
