Question about module scripts for anti-cheat

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

My question is that me asking if it is possible for me to put a function within another module function, and it won’t run unless I directly activate it?

e.g

function AC.Checks(Player, Character, Humrp)

function AC.CheckLength()
      end
end

(This isn’t an actual script, this is kind of the vision for my client-side combat, that I am currently in the middle of creating

I don’t quite understand what you’re talking about. You want to have a function inside a function? You can simply do this:

function AC.Checks(Player, Character, Humrp)
	local function CheckLength()
		
	end
	
	CheckLength()
end

Basically, you’re creating a function localized to AC.Checks() therefore it cannot be called outside of that function.

#3

Yeah, but the issue is that I don’t want it to run unless it is directly called. Would that serve that purpose?

#4

It would yes, because the “local function” part being inside the parent function will prevent it from being called outside the parent function.

#5

Alright, that’s really all I wanted to know. Thank you.

#6

Are you requiring it in client? Just curious.
