Module Scripts are basically like a normal script but it can be used in many ways.
First, with requiring it in a script, do require() then where it's found.
Example:
require(script.Parent.Module)
You can do a lot with modules, for storing functions, etc. If you want to use functions and you don't want to put it inside your main code, you can create a module for it!
Let's say:
1 | function PrintThingy(Message) |
Now, for your main code.
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) |
3 | PrintThingy(Player.Name .. " has joined the game!") |
Now, if you want to do this in a module script, you'll simply get some automated code like this:
Do keep this, as it is essential, although you can rename it.
Now, paste your function inside the 2 pieces of code, and do:
1 | function M:PrintThingy(Message) |
It should now look like:
3 | function M:PrintThingy(Message) |
Now to use it. Define the module with the require function inside your main code.
1 | local Module = require(script.Parent.ModuleScript) |
And now, to call the function.
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) |
3 | Module:PrintThingy(Player.Name .. " has joined the game!") |
This makes it much easier to make datatables and such as well, instead of storing it in one script.
Let's say a store table right? Maybe:
06 | Description = "A sharp sword!" |
Then you can require it, and use a for loop to get the shopdata.
Hope this helps!
