Question about OOP

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hey, so i need some help in accesing the table containing the functions in OOP.

I’ve got a piece of code in OOP which creates like moves and it stores the keybind data/function in a folder for it to be accessed but i want the functions to be ran from a different script instead of the script which has the function created.

Here’s my script which has all the moves stored in it:

local a=game.StarterGui.Moves
local creator = require(a)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local test1 = creator.new("TestMove",function()
	humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0;
end, "E")

Now here is the script which detects when the move has been ran:

local movesFolder = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("MoveInfo")

local a=game.StarterGui.Moves
local creator = require(a)

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

function ts(a)
	return tostring(a)
end

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(b,g)
	if g then return end
	for i,v in pairs(movesFolder:GetChildren()) do
		local t = game.HttpService:JSONDecode(v.Value)
		local y = ts(b.KeyCode)
		if t[1] == y:sub(14,#y) then
			print("Yes",v.Name)
			local n = t[4]
			for i,v in pairs(n) do
				print(i,v)
			end
			--creator:run(n)
		end
	end
end)

As you can see i have it tagged but i want it to run the moves function after the keybind has been pressed which works fine; i don’t know if this is possible but im guessing it is.

And here’s my oop script if you were wondering:

local moves = {}

moves.__index = moves

local folderInfo = game.ReplicatedStorage.MoveInfo

function moves.new(moveName,func,button)
	local m = {}
	setmetatable(m,moves)	
	
	m.move = moveName
	m.f = func
	m.Button = button
	
	local moveInfo = Instance.new("StringValue",folderInfo)
	moveInfo.Value = game.HttpService:JSONEncode({button,moveName})
	moveInfo.Name = moveName
	
	return m
end

function moves.run()
	
end

function moves:debug()
	self.f()
end

return moves

If you didn’t already understand what im trying to do here, then maybe this would explain it better.

I want to create a move using my oop script in one script along with the keybind and function which i want it to run after the keybind has been pressed.

I detect the keybind press from a different script and want to run the function from that script but i have no idea how that would be done.

Hope that made more sense.

local moves = {};
moves.__index = moves;
function moves.new()
    local self = setmetatable({}, moves);
    return self;
end
function moves:run()
    -- your code
end
local newmoves = moves.new();
newmoves:run();

This is just a little guideline, but this should give you some help.
Edit: Found a little mistake, fixed it

So assuming from what im seeing im able to store the moves inside the module script or am i crazy?

If you want to store all your move objects inside a module, just store them inside a table, in the module.

-- Moves module
local MovesModule = {};
MovesModule.Moves = {};

table.insert(MovesModule.Moves, newmoves)

Now any script that requires that module will be able to access that table and the objects inside it.

Oh, that’s helpful! I’ll try that out.
