i wanna set a Variable’s value from a script to a value from a modulescript
the script is serverside

Modulescript:
image
image

Script:
image
image

But it returns “nill” or “null” and never a “0” or a number
what am i doing here that’s wrong?

im still unsure by what “self” is. but if i understand your problem right you wanna have a function that you can call form a modulescript that will set “Diamonds” to 0?

Wait so self.diamonds is a changing value or is it constant?

Since plrClass.Diamonds is part of the module you can just run

local plrClass = require(PATH_TO_MODULE)
plrClass.Diamonds = newValue
print(plrClass.Diamonds)

However if you want it to be a local variable, you can use getters and setters similar to Java

local plrclass = {}

local Diamonds = 100

function plrclass:SetDiamonds(value)
	Diamonds = value
end

function plrclass:GetDiamonds()
	return Diamonds
end

return plrclass

local plrClass = require(PATH_TO_MODULE)

-- Option 2
print(plrClass:GetDiamonds()) -- 100
plrClass:SetDiamonds(9000)
print(plrClass:GetDiamonds()) -- 9000

Sounds like you need to cross script environments from module script to server script.

I do not recommend this for performance reasons but you can try doing this in your player class

function plrClass:SetVarToDiamonds(var)
getfenv(2).Diamonds = self.Diamonds
end

Havenr tested it btw

bro just return the value instead of setting it via a modulescript.
the way your doing is not possible unless it is a value instance.

local Diamonds = Module:SetDiamonds()
