Need Help in making a Harry Potter Wand system

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, so I’m currently trying to make a Harry Potter Wand system like this where you type a spell in chat then you can click to launch the spell. Is there an efficient way to do this without having a whole bunch of server scripts and so many lines in a local script for each spell? I guess I could put them in a Module but I have no idea how that’d work. I’ve already made the projectiles so just loading the spell is my issue now.

Modules would be the best way to do this, just have a module for each task, projectiles, etc.

Yea but I need to find a way to load them by chatting a valid spell

do you mean you want to detect when the player types a certain string into the chat? This document goes over texts well and this one explains modules. PS. watch out for the roblox chat filter. :smiley:

I wrote a sample code for you, perhaps it might help you understand the usage of modules.

Spells.lua (ModuleScript)

local Spells = {}

function Spells.SomeSpellName(paramTest)
	print(paramTest)
end

function Spells.AnotherSpellName()
	print("Another spell I guess")
end

return Spells

Wand.lua (LocalScript)

local Spells = require(script.Spells)

Spells.SomeSpellName("Hello World")
Spells.AnotherSpellName()
