[Solved] Requiring Module Just Yields

Avallachi · March 18, 2019, 9:56pm

It doesn’t yield if I don’t require it from that extra localscript, but does if I do. Which is very odd.

I mean a loop of requiring. For example, 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 1.

Say we have module a and b. If a requires b, and b requires a, we have a infinite loop.

I fixed it by requiring the modules in the LocalScripts only, and I put the required module the functions needed as an argument when I called the necessary functions from the module.

This stopped the infinite yield as @Faultsified was talking about.

Faultsified:

There could be many things that could be causing your module script you infinitely yield. Make sure that your modules are not requiring each other, as this will cause an infinite loop and make your scripts yield. Example:
--Module 1
local module2 = require(script.Parent.Module2)

--Module2
local module1 = require(script.Parent.Module1)

--This would yield infinitely as they are requiring each other over and over.
If this is not the case, use print statements and find what line the script reaches before yielding to narrow down what may be causing it.

Thank you all for the help and the ideas!

Just a reminder, mark the solution when done.

Already did the second I posted it.

Had to refresh, sorry…

In order to avoid cyclic requiring in the future, I would suggest writing/using a standardized codebase, or “framework”.
