Retrieving the script that required a module script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, I’m wondering if there would be any way to retrieve the script that is currently requiring a module script from within the module script so it can send information that only that specific script needs?

Any and all help is appreciated!

Currently there isn’t a built-in way to do this, but an alternative would be to return a function in the module script, and then within the script requiring it you could do

local module = require(path.to.module)(script)

From there you could return something INSIDE that function that the script needs

Example module code:

local module = {}

return function(scriptRequiring)
    local toReturn = module
    -- do stuff
    
    return toReturn
end
