Server scripts are not functioning

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, me and my developer friend have experienced a very odd issue.

All of our server scripts are placed in server script service and they dont fire for some weird reason. The print is not running even after debugging everything:

local WaveHelper = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.WaveHelper)

print("Started spawning")

WaveHelper:StartWave(1, 1200, {"Brawler", "Ranger"}) -- current wave, points, available enemies

If anyone has info on this topic please reply. Or if you want to know more info also please reply.
Note: this may be a roblox issue.

It’s because of the require. It runs the code inside the module, it’s not asynchronous. What’s inside of the module?

Hello, are you sure that in the output window, server is checked ?

Like Squallysas said, make sure this is how your console looks:

Hmm it seems to be something with the require because it prints anything before it.

#10

Yes, send me the code inside the module, just send me it, it may not be what you think.

#11

Yet its not printing whats inside the module

#12 
function WaveHelper:StartWave(Wave, MaxPoints, UnlockedEnemies)
	print("Spawining Enemy lol")
	
	if #workspace.Enemies:GetChildren() == 0 then

		local NewWave = WaveHelper.new(Wave, MaxPoints, UnlockedEnemies)

		task.defer(function()
			while NewWave.MaxPoints > 0 do
				
				print("while loop")

				local RndIndex = math.random(1, #UnlockedEnemies)
				local RndEnemy = UnlockedEnemies[RndIndex]
				local EnemyModel = game.ServerStorage.Enemies[RndEnemy]


				task.wait(.1)
				if EnemyModel.Points and NewWave.MaxPoints >= EnemyModel.Points.Value then
					NewWave.MaxPoints = NewWave.MaxPoints - EnemyModel.Points.Value
					
					print("checks passed")

					SpawnMob(EnemyModel, math.random(0,30), 5, math.random(0,30))
					task.wait(0.1)
				end
			end
		end)
		task.wait(0.1)
	end
end

Have you added something to the module and only now stopped working or it is a new one ?

#14

Nothing it just stopped working

#15

I removed all the code apart from the print and it still does not work

#16

Can you post the whole module ?

#17 
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local Modules = ServerStorage.Modules
local EnemyModules = Modules.EnemyModules

local EnemyModules = {
	
	["Brawler"] = require(EnemyModules["Brawler Enemy Module"])
}

local WaveHelper = {}
WaveHelper.__index = WaveHelper

function WaveHelper.new(Wave, MaxPoints, UnlockedEnemies)
	local self = setmetatable({}, WaveHelper) 
	self.MaxPoints = MaxPoints
	self.CurrentWave = Wave
	self.UnlockedEnemies = UnlockedEnemies
	return self
end

local function SpawnMob(Mob, X, Y, Z)
	local NewMob = Mob:Clone()
	NewMob.Parent = workspace.Enemies
	NewMob:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(X,Y,Z))

	local EnemyName = NewMob.Name

	local ChosenModule = EnemyModules[EnemyName.." Enemy Module"]
	if ChosenModule == nil then warn("ENEMY MODULE IS NOT LOCATED") end
	
	ChosenModule.StartEnemyInstance(NewMob, {})
	
	return NewMob
end

function WaveHelper:StartWave(Wave, MaxPoints, UnlockedEnemies)
	print("Spawining Enemy lol")

					task.wait(0.1)

Are you sure that your script can access “EnemyModules[“Brawler Enemy Module”]” in line 8 ?

If i replicate the folders and the modules you are requesting in the script it prints (in the original server script, the one who requires “WaveHelper” ), so it could be a problem with accessing EnemyModules.

This is not sure 100% since i don’t have your exacly folders and modules.
