Rewuiring module causes infinite yield

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

This is the fraction of the code in the script that causes the issue

print("GettingSelfModule")
local EncounterInfo = require(Region.EncounterInfo)
print("ModulesChecked")

Self is the argument to a function, it is passed correctly and no errors happen, the script just yields forever, it is worth noting that this cript is a local script and the modulescript is a descendant workspace.

It’s trying to find something that doesn’t exist, because I’m assuming Self isn’t workspace. This leaves it to infinitely yield, as it’ll infinitely search.

On a side not, I find it rather confusing that you’re naming a variable Self, unless you’re using it for some sort of OOP work, as then you’ve got Self and self and it’s just bad naming practice.

you’re right, i should change that name, also, i phrased it wrong, it is a descendant of workspace, it is parented to the right object

The only issue I might be able to assume is that the module isn’t returning anything? Other than that I wouldn’t be able to say without looking at the script itself

Alright.
This is the module:

local Creature = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.CreatureModule)
local Encounters = {}

local Creature1 = Creature.new(7274090428 , 5)
local Creature2 = Creature.new(7274090428 , 4)
local Creature3 = Creature.new(7274090428 , 2)
local Creature4 = Creature.new(7274090428 , 9)

Encounters[1] = { Creature = Creature1 , Chance = 30}
Encounters[2] = { Creature = Creature2 , Chance = 30}
Encounters[3] = { Creature = Creature3 , Chance = 35}
Encounters[4] = { Creature = Creature4 , Chance = 5}

return Encounters

This is the LocalScript:

local db = false
if not game:IsLoaded() then
	game.Loaded:Wait()
end
local cs = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local EncounterParts = cs:GetTagged("EncounterRegion")

local function TriggerEncounter(Part , Region)
	if db == false then
		db = true
		Region.CanTouch = false
		if math.random(1,20) == 1 then
			print("Region")
			local LocalParty = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Cache)
			print("GettingRegionModule")
			local EncounterInfo = require(Region.EncounterInfo)
			print("ModulesChecked")
			workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
			wait(0.1)
			local controls = require(game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts.PlayerModule):GetControls()
			controls:Disable()
			wait(0.3)
			game.TweenService:Create(workspace.CurrentCamera , TweenInfo.new(0.4) , {FieldOfView = 90}):Play()
			wait(0.4)
			game.TweenService:Create(workspace.CurrentCamera , TweenInfo.new(0.4) , {FieldOfView = 30}):Play()
			game.TweenService:Create(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.BattleScreen.BlackScreen , TweenInfo.new(0.3) , {BackgroundTransparency = 0}):Play()
			wait(0.4)
			
			local MaxChance = 0
			
			for i , v in pairs(EncounterInfo) do
				MaxChance += v.Chance
			end
			
			local EnemyCreature
			
			while true do
				for i , v in pairs(EncounterInfo) do
					if math.random(1,MaxChance) <= v.Chance then
						EnemyCreature = v.Creature
					end
				end
			end
			local Encounter = game.ReplicatedStorage.RefreshGui:InvokeServer(EnemyCreature , LocalParty[game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId][1])
			print(EnemyCreature , LocalParty[1])
			workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = 90
			game.TweenService:Create(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.BattleScreen.BlackScreen , TweenInfo.new(0.3) , {BackgroundTransparency = 1}):Play()
			workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
			game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
			wait(0.3)
		end
		wait(0.1)
		Region.CanTouch = true
		db = false
	end
end

for i , v in pairs(EncounterParts) do
	v.Touched:Connect(function(Part)
		TriggerEncounter(Part , v)
	end)
end

I assume there’s a module in every single part which is within the EncounterParts, so I think the only issue I can see if the script works fine without that one line is the require within the module itself, possibly the Creature variable is never loading? Try doing game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”) and see if that fixes anything.
