PlayerModule can't be found

[MLGChaosreto (MLG)]

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
   I would like to access the PlayerModule:GetControls() function.

2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
   My script worked about 2 days ago. Today I packed the camera part into a new script and now I can’t access the PlayerModule:GetControls() function no more.

local controls = require(game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts.PlayerModule):GetControls()

3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
   I checked the developer hub and found nothing that helped. I disabled all other scripts that got changed to check if any other scripts are affecting this by accident. Nothing worked so far.

have u tried waiting just incase.

local controls = require(game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerScripts"):WaitForChild("PlayerModule")):GetControls()
controls:Disable()

[MLGChaosreto (MLG)]

Yes, just tried it again.

Result:

Infinite yield possible on ‘Players.MLGChaosreto.PlayerScripts:WaitForChild(“PlayerModule”)’ - Studio

local lplr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

Works well for me. Make sure its LocalScript and you put it inside ReplicatedFirst (cuz I tested it only in ReplicatedFirst).

Tested this. The PlayerModule still can’t be found. Thx for your answer!

I also checked out a new place and for some reason it doesn’t create the PlayerModule in my actual game.

Maybe report that as an engine bug since that is not normal

[Bakonowychlopak123]

I tested on empty baseplate no other scripts and it works. Maybe you changed some property or some script is calling :Destroy() on PlayerModule?

[MLGChaosreto (MLG)]

Just found the issue. I named one of my scripts CameraScript which broke the entire auto-generated script section. Thx for everybodys help!
