Requested module experienced an error while loading

#1

(Edited in order to include the attempt to fix it)
local module = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Security)

Module is supposed to contain the remote security key, however it doesn’t work
Module contains:

local module = {}

module.RemoteSecurity = math.random(1000000, 9999999)

return module

Use ReplicatedStorage for module scripts that are shared by server and client.

As a side note, if you are using this security key to validate calls to remote events and functions, be aware that it can still be read by a user since a local script is fetching it.

I am aware of it, just to stop abuse of the remote events from starting exploiters

Thanks!

Please use three ` to open and close code blocks.

It is not recommended to store anything in Lighting now, you should use ReplicatedStorage if you want the client and server to have access to something, ServerScriptService if only the server needs access or StarterPlayer / Gui etc. if only the player needs access.

error
Still comes up with this, I changed the scripts and put it in ReplicatedStorage

#6

Is there additional text that might show which script the error is coming from? Not the module, the one requiring the module.

#7

The only error in the output is a plugin error

#8

You can set a variable that sets a random key on server start, then set up a function that returns this key when called

local randomSecurity = math.random(1000000, 9999999)
local module = {}
function module.GetRandomSecurityKey()
    return randomSecurity
end
return module

In a script, you can get this key by doing

local securityModule = require(game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Security"))
local key = securityModule.GetRandomSecurityKey()
#9

Still running in the same error, It’s getting quite confusing

#10

make sure it’s (“Security”)) at the end

#11

It’s already there, I put it in here

#12

With the two parenthesis at the end?
The one you quoted didn’t have it.

#13

You mean the:

local securityModule = require(game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Security"))

If yes, It’s already in the script

#14

It works for me; are you sure there aren’t 2 modulescripts?
in which case one would overwrite another

#15

Is this the only code in your module script? It doesn’t look like it should throw any errors. Can you show all of the scripts that use that module, and their locations in the Explorer widget?

#16

There is a single module
(30 chars)

#17

Are you in a team-create? You need to push changes if so.

I’m not in a team create

#19

I’m interested in what @Blokav suggested you try :slight_smile:

#20

The script right now is

local randomSecurity = math.random(1000000, 9999999)
local module = {}
function module.GetRandomSecurityKey()
    return randomSecurity
end
return module

You mean I should give you the whole scripts?
