The code you've posted appears to have some issues and won't work as intended. I will explain what it should do conceptually and highlight the mistakes:
What the code is trying to do:
-
Module Script: It defines a module script that provides an
add
function for adding two numbers.- The
add
function takes 2 arguments (a
andb
) and returns their sum.
- The
-
Server Script: It attempts to import (
require
) the module script and use theadd
function to compute the sum of4
and6
, resulting in10
.
Issues in the Code:
-
Module Script Placement:
- The module script needs to be placed inside
ReplicatedStorage
(or another accessible location) in Roblox Studio. You need to ensure there's a module script namedmoduleScript
in theReplicatedStorage
.
- The module script needs to be placed inside
-
Requiring the Module:
- In your server script, the line
local add = require(module.add)
is incorrect. When usingrequire
with a module script, you should provide the module instance (module
in your case), not its internal properties or methods. You cannotrequire
a specific function of a module – yourequire
the entire module first and then access the function.
- In your server script, the line
-
Using the Function:
- After requiring the module, you need to call its
add
function likemodule.add(4, 6)
rather than trying torequire
the function.
- After requiring the module, you need to call its
Corrected Code:
Module Script (moduleScript
in ReplicatedStorage):
local module = {}
-- Adds two numbers
function module.add(a, b)
local result = a + b
return result
end
return module
Server Script:
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local module = RS:WaitForChild("moduleScript") -- Wait for the module script in ReplicatedStorage
local requiredModule = require(module) -- Require the whole module
local result = requiredModule.add(4, 6) -- Call the 'add' function
print(result) -- Output 10
Explanation of the Corrected Code:
-
Module Script:
- It defines a reusable
add
function inside themodule
table, which is returned at the end of the script. Other scripts canrequire
this module to use its functions.
- It defines a reusable
-
Server Script:
- It uses
WaitForChild
to get a reference to themoduleScript
inReplicatedStorage
. - The
require
function loads (or imports) the module, returning themodule
table. - The
add
function is called with arguments4
and6
, and the result is printed as10
.
- It uses
Output:
When corrected, the code will output:
10
