ModuleScript returning nil

Hello! :wave:

I’m currently making a module, but when it is required, and I use the :Get() method on it, it always returns nil.

This is the module scripts :Get() function basically, and it prints {“ATK” = 100}

print(allInfo[name])
return allInfo[name]

But when I try to require it by a script, it returns nil?
This is the servers code:

infoHandler:Get(profile.Data["Equipped"])["ATK"]

The server errors with "attempt to index nil with “ATK”, even though the the module script just barely printed it just fine?

The ModuleScript is placed in a folder named “Modules”, inside of replicated storage, and the normal script is inside a folder in serverscriptservice, does anyone know why this is happening?

And yes, when I try to print allInfo[name][“ATK”], it prints fine.

Can you show the :Get() function on the module script and how you’re requiring it?

ModuleScript:

local initialized = false
local allInfo = {}

local InfoHandler = {}

function InfoHandler:Init()
	for _, module in script:GetChildren() do
		local info = require(module)
		for index, thing in info do
			allInfo[index] = thing
		end
	end

	initialized = true
end

function InfoHandler:Get(name)
	if initialized == false then
		self:Init()
		task.wait()
		self:Get(name)
	else
		if allInfo[name] then
			print(allInfo[name]["ATK"])
			return allInfo[name]
		else
			warn("⚠️ - SHARED | "..name.." is not a valid item/creature/ability!")
		end
	end
end

return InfoHandler

Script:

local coins = createInt("ATK ⚔️")
coins.Value = infoHandler:Get(profile.Data["Equipped"])["ATK"] -- Line thats erroring
coins.Parent = leaderstats

The “Script” is actually just a modulescript initialization function, but its requiring fine, so that shouldn’t be the issue.

I’m guessing infoHandler:Get(profile.Data["Equipped"]) prints {“ATK” = 100} right?

Thanks for your help, but for some reason it started to work again? I didn’t have to change any code or anything. I’m guessing it was just an issue with Roblox Studio or ProfileService returning something weird when trying to retrieve something from it.
