Require Module Script

require(module)(“String”)
what would I put in the module script to automatically do something when it is required like that and how to get the string?

#2

You can only require the Module Instance when calling require(), are you talking about receiving a string inside a function? You could just do something like this

--Random Script to call the function
local Module = require(game.ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("ModuleScript"))
local String = "Hello!"

wait(5)
Module.SayString(String)

--The Main ModuleScript
local Module = {}

function Module.SayString(String)
    print(String)
end

return Module

I want something to trigger within the module without having to do a function.

#4

You can basically return almost anything inside a module including a string and Instance.

Heres 3 examples.

return 'This is my string.'

local module = require(path.to.module)
print(module) --> "This is my string."

local myNum = 5
return myNum

local number = require(path.to.module)
print(number) --> 5

print('Hello world! This is a test.')
return nil -- Just so we don't get an error.

require(path.to.module) --> Hello world! This is a test.
#5

module

print('hello world') -- when it's required it will run

return -- return nothing because it is already called
#6

Unfortunately that only works once because of cashing

#7

Well then just do it.

--Script
require(Module Path)

-- Module
local module = {}

-- What the script will do without a function
print("Test")

return module
