How do I fix 'W001 Unknown Global *blank*' Errors?
Hello, I was starting to learn how to script in my Roblox game and after fixing all the syntax errors I got onto trying to fix the Unknown global errors but cannot figure out how to fix them.
local ModuleScript = {} mt = getrawmetatable(game) make_writeable(mt) local old = mt.__namecall mt.__namecall = newcclosure(function (self,...) local args = {...}
^^^ Thats all the code that has caused this error.

Usually, the error leads to unknown variable names or function calls the script doesn't recognize. Take these examples:
variable typo
local food = 100 --full hunger!!
if fod == 100 then --fod is not defined and so it leads to the W001 unknown global error
print("not hungry.")
end
function call typo
local function Eat()
food += 15
end
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
if food == 100 then
return false
elseif food > 100 then
food = 100
return false
elseif food < 100 then
Et() --Et() isn't defined so it leads to the W001 unknown global error
end
end)
Make sure to look through your scripts for typos, but also incorrect function calls. In this case you've probably typed in a function that is incorrect.
