Let me explain what this code does and clarify a potential misunderstanding with it.
What the Code Does:
-
Module Script:
- This defines a Lua module in Roblox using a table (
module
) to organize functions. - The
add
function is defined to take two arguments (a
,b
), add them together, and return the result. module.add
is added to the module table, and then the table is returned to be used elsewhere.
local module = {} function module.add(a, b) local result = a + b return result end return module
- This defines a Lua module in Roblox using a table (
-
Server Script:
- This script resides in the game and runs on the server. It demonstrates how to use the module script from
ServerScriptStorage
. - It gets a reference to
ServerScriptStorage
(where the module script is stored). - It then waits for the child named
moduleScript
, requires it as a module, and uses the returned table. - Finally, it calls the
add
function from the module with two numbers (4
and6
) and prints the result, which is10
.
local SSS = game:GetService("ServerScriptStorage") local module = SSS:WaitForChild("moduleScript") local moduleTable = require(module) print(moduleTable.add(4, 6)) -- Outputs 10
- This script resides in the game and runs on the server. It demonstrates how to use the module script from
-
Output:
- If the
4
and6
are correctly passed to theadd
function,4 + 6 = 10
is calculated and output to the console.
- If the
Is This Written Correctly?
The general logic of your code is correct, but there might be issues with how Roblox services and assets are referred to:
- Ensure the module script is named exactly
moduleScript
(case-sensitive) and resides inServerScriptStorage
. - The
require
function should work as long as the module script exists and is properly set up inServerScriptStorage
.
So yes, your code should work if everything is correctly set up in the game. If there's an issue, check the placement and naming of your scripts or for possible typographical errors.
