Send Metatable from one Module Script to Another

Hey, I have two Module Scripts and I want to send the metatable (Including functions) from Module 1 to Module 2, and then set the send metatable from Module 1 to Module 2…

Send Metatable from one module script to another
#2

What do you mean “send”? Like through a remote?

Can you give an example of what you mean?

#3

Can you not just return the module at the end of the code, and then just require() it?

#4

Forgot how to document code lol
i.e

–Module1
local Module1 = {} Module1.__index = Module1

Module1.New = function()
return setmetatable({}, Module1)
end

function Module1:Func()
return “Test”
end

function Module1:Send()
require(PATH_TO_MODULE2):New()
end

return Module1

–Module2
local Module2 = {} Module2.__index = Module2

Module2.New = function(self)
return setmetatable(self, Module2)
end

function Module2:Print()
print(self:Func())
end
return Module2

says “tried to call a nil vaule”

#5

I want to call ‘Func’ (Located in Module 1) from Module 2

#6

You’d have to either set self to Module1 or create a function of inside of Module2 called Func.

local Module1 = {} Module1.__index = Module1

Module1.New = function()
    return setmetatable({}, Module1)
end

function Module1:Func()
    return “Test”
end

function Module1:Send()
    require(PATH_TO_MODULE2):New()
end

return Module1

local Module2 = {} Module2.__index = Module2

Module2.New = function(self)
    return setmetatable(self, Module2)
end

function Module2:Print()
    self = require(Module1).New()
    print(self:Func())
end
return Module2

I’ve attempted to call Module 1 from Module 2, but under certain circumstances if there is a recursion, you’d get a stack overflow

But thanks I’ll try this!

Well this is one way to approach the problem, and while it does work I have certain variables added when you can Module1 and can’t add them from module2. But thanks anyways…
