Module Script:
local News = {
["Broadcast1"] = {
-- dictionary information here
},
["Broadcast2"] = {
-- dictionary information here
}
}
return News
Local Script
local newsModule = require(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.NewsModule)
local broadcasts = #newsModule
print(broadcasts)
For some reason, the table always returns as 0, even though there are 2 values in the table, help.
Module scripts start with the identifier that acts like a table and returns it. Module scripts that way can be used anywhere, so for example you can use it's variables and functions everywhere.
I think that your issue here is that you didn't do it like this.
--module script
local News = {}
News.Broadcasts = {
["Broadcast1"] = {
-- dictionary information here
},
["Broadcast2"] = {
-- dictionary information here
}
}
return News
--script
local newsModule = require(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.NewsModule)
local broadcasts = #newsModule.Broadcasts
print(broadcasts)
Tell me if it doesn't work.
I already got an answer from fpnky, but thanks anyway.

Pretty sure you can't do #dict, you have to loop over the dictionary and count the keys
Ah, thank you then.
