Table In ModuleScript Returns Nil

I have a ModuleScript. For some reason if I change the table it works fine, but when I then print it it doesn’t work? This is in Server Script Service, all code is run server sided.

Here is a code example

local mytable = {}

function AddPlayerToTable(player)
   mytable[player] = "HI!"

   print(mytable) -- prints the table
end

local Module = {}

function Module.ChangeInfo(Player) -- If i call this after the AddPlayer Function
   print(mytable) -- prints blank table
end

function Module:Init()
   Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(AddPlayerToTable)
end

return Module

could you add the code where you’re calling init and changeInfo also?

also, assuming that’s the whole module, it should error because you didnt define Players
if that’s not the full module, please also add any other code that touches myTable

I call init in a script in Server Script Service as I have a few scripts requiring an Init. I did this to avoid memory leaks. Module.ChangeInfo for the time being I call out of the console on the server part of play test. And Players is defined I just didn’t include it.

the console runs on a different environment than server scripts, so they won’t share the same module script cache, global variables, etc
