Modulescript values not changing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, I’m trying to achive a way of having one set ModuleScript of settings but with a way for a user to define their own. For example, this could be the standard settings

local Settings = {}

Settings.Name = "abcd"
Settings.AnotherVal = "123"

return Settings

And the user would be able to have their own ModuleScript such as this

local Settings = {}

Settings.Name = "fghj"

return Settings

, What I want to achive is the user’s modulescript changing the value in the main settings one while leaving other values intact. This is what I have currently but it’s not working

 local modifiedTune = require(clonedVehicle.Tune)
                    local actualTune = game.ServerStorage.TictacAutos.VehicleComponents.Tune:Clone()
                    local requiredActualTune = require(actualTune)
                    
                    clonedVehicle.Tune:Destroy()

                    for key in pairs(requiredActualTune) do
                        if modifiedTune[key] then
                            requiredActualTune[key] = modifiedTune[key]
                        end
                    end
                    
                    actualTune.Parent = clonedVehicle

I also need to grab these values from both the server and the client

you could clone the modulescript table via this

#3

Would this not just have the same effect as requiring it? As I still need to update the values in the main settings module

#4

you could clone the actual tune module from like SS or something then modify that if you still want to store the normal tune values

#5

That’s what I’m doing currently, here’s an update as to what I have

local actualTune = game.ServerStorage.TictacAutos.VehicleComponents.Tune:Clone()
                    local modifiedTuneCopy = deepCopy(require(clonedVehicle.Tune))
                    local actualTuneCopy = deepCopy(require(actualTune))
                    
                    clonedVehicle.Tune:Destroy()
                    
                    for key,value in pairs(modifiedTuneCopy) do
                        if actualTuneCopy[key] then
                            actualTuneCopy[key] = value
                            print("Found " .. tostring(key) .. " in modified tune, updating in main tune to",value)
                        end
                    end
                    
                    local required = require(actualTune)
                    
                    required = actualTuneCopy
                    print(required)
         
                    actualTune.Parent = clonedVehicle

Have solved it as I worked out it could all be done from the client anyway
