Wondering why for example this doesn't work

This didn’t work for me, anyone know why?

local Module = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("Module")) 
local Idklol = Module["THING"]
print(Idklol)

the “THING” Exists, BTW

#2

Luau identifiers are case sensitive. Idklol and idklol aren’t the same in Luau based on the script, you’re printing idklol and not Idklol.

If that doesn’t solve the issue then we would need to know what’s inside the Module in the Replicated Storage in order to answer this.

I made a typo, it still doesn’t work

#4

Inside there is a local module that has a “THING” inside of it

local Module = { 
["THING"] = 0;   }           return Module
#5

You haven’t put brackets after the call to thing if it is a function, i.e.

local Idklol = Module["THING"]()
#6

it is actually Not a function, I am confused on why this doesn’t work

#8

I made a typo, I still think that its weird the script won’t work

#9

This works.

local Module = {};

Module["THING"] = 0; 
return Module;

Weird it told me it didn’t exist using the original when I pasted it in, but now it works, go figure. Maybe it was due to replication, no idea otherwise.

It works now though yes? if not you must have the name wrong for “Module” in FindFirstChild(). Are you sure it is called “Module”. We had to make a ModuleScript and rename it, are you sure you did that?

It seems like there was some kind of another problem with studio, and when I relaunched it , the script worked fine.
