Weird problem when requiring a module script

[ItzMeZeus_IGotHacked (notzeussz)]

What does this error mean? I placed the DataStore2 module under ServerStorage.

[Iifebit (Lifebit)]

Is the module named DataStore2?

[ItzMeZeus_IGotHacked (notzeussz)]

Yes, I named it to DataStore2.

[Iifebit (Lifebit)]

Try this:

local DS2 = require(game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("DataStore2"))

If that doesn’t work then your studio is probably acting up since I can’t reproduce.

@aven_ue

local DS2 = require(game:GetService(“ServerStorage”):WaitForChild(“DataStore2”)

It worked, also you forgot to add a ) at the end. But, I’m still wondering why does it show that when I do it.

[Iifebit (Lifebit)]

Objects have to load in and it will normally appear nil when trying to get it as soon as the code is executed. It was probably warning you that you need to wait for the object to actually load in.

Never mind, I found another solution. It’s just restart the studio. If can, can someone help me explain what does that error mean?

Here is some posts with some answers:

W000: Unknown Require (it's definitely there!)

I don’t think that’s the case, as that’s at the beginning of the script. Also I have this error too, and there are NO other errors within the script.

Why is this an unknown require?

[2020-07-07 (2)] I’m getting an all too familiar W000 error on my tool script, that I simply don’t understand. As it seems to me, I’ve coded everything right and nothing should be wrong with the script, but obviously this is not the case. When I try running the script, the output window fails to print("tool equipped"), so something’s definitely wrong here. It would be a really big help if someone could help point out what I might have missed on my script, and what I can do to fix it.
