function Charge:Destroy()
	self:Destroy()
end

is akin to

function Charge.Destroy(self)
	self.Destroy(self)
end

and
Charge:Destroy() is akin to Charge.Destroy(Charge).
You get a stack overflow because Charge’s Destroy is calling the method itself.
See in the function above when self = Charge, the Destroy method of Charge is being called again.

The reason why you are getting this error is because you are attempting to call the :Destroy method within it’s self. This wont work because each time you call :Destroy it will call it’s self again.

Instead you should put in the :Destroy method what you actually want to destroy. With that you are doing it looks like you are trying to destroy self which isn’t possible because it is a table. Instead you should state what you want to destroy within self. Here is a quick example:

local module = {}
module.__index = module

function module.new()
	local self = setmetatable({}, module)
	self.Name = "This is a name"
	self.Level = 10
	return self
end

function module:Destroy()
	self.Name = nil -- Makes name nil
	self.Level = nil -- Makes level nil
end

return module
