XPcall in module script

[wesam1992 (sam)]

XPCalling a module script’s function

2. It does print out the errors and stuff but it does not prevent the error from breaking the whole module, sometimes it prevents it, and most of the time it doesn’t

3. ** I’ve looked everywhere but I did not find a method that works 100%

local module = {}
module.function = function()
game.workspace.Nothing -- a fault on purpose to test it
end

function Handler(bool,data)
player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Debug.Text = data
end
local success, data = xpcall(module.function,handler)
print(success,data)
return module

@wesam1992

print(success,returnedData)

That might be the issue right there, it might not know what returnedData is

[wesam1992 (sam)]

Maybe, I’ll test it and come back.

[wesam1992 (sam)]

Still, doesn’t work at all for some reason.

Edit: This works i tried it

local module = {
	Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer	
}

local success, data = pcall(function()

end)
print(success,data)
print("e")
function ErrorHandler(t,e)

	module.Player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Debug.Text += t
end
return module

@DasKairo

local module = {

Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

}

module.function = function()

--game.workspace.Nothing -- a fault on purpose to test it

end

local success, data = xpcall(module.functionl,Handler)

print(success,data)

function Handler(bool,data)

module.Player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Debug.Text = data

end

Edit: Doesn’t work apparently.

@wesam1992 Ok:

1. 4 Variables were unspecified inside the module
   ActivateModel ErrorHandler player returnedData
   I specified player and replaced returnedData

2. xpcall is a custom error handler while pcall catches errors and prevents them automatically

Thank you very much for the explanation!

[wesam1992 (sam)]

Actually, wait I just noticed that your solution doesn’t include the module.activate which I kinda need so is there any way? (if not then I’ll just roll with your solution up)

[DasKairo (Cairo)]

Is it a function? A RemoteFunction?

[wesam1992 (sam)]

It’s a function that scripts can call

local module = {}
module.function = function()

end
return module

[DasKairo (Cairo)]

So it Is a RemoteFunction correct?

[wesam1992 (sam)]

It’s not the instance called remote function but it is a remotely called function from other scripts

[DasKairo (Cairo)]

Inside module table add this:

local module = {
ActivateModel = function(model)
-- script here
end;
}

-- How to call function
module.ActivateModel()


return module

Hope this helped

For anyone needing the actual code that works, It’s here

Thanks! I ended up xpcalling it inside of the function.

local module = {}
local Player = game.Player.LocalPlayer
	Function = function()
		local success, data = xpcall(function()
		
		local test = game.workspace.Nothing -- a fault on purpose to test it
		end,ErrorHandler)

	end;
function Handler(bool,data)
print(data)
end

return module
