I'm a relatively new scripter (I've programmed in Lua before, but I'm new to Roblox's framework) and I've decided to program a little weapons system with caliber based bulletholes/energy.

So, my problem is that, when I fire a weapon and the bullet hits a part, it spawns in particles and a bullet hole client-side, but, server-side, it does not do either and it spews out an error that says "Attempt to index nil with BulletType". The error outputs to this line of code; local w = (calibers[Settings.BulletType] or calibers["2.7mm"]). The calibers module only handles the various calibers and does not need anything else in it.

How would I fix this issue? By the way, "w" is for the width of the bullet.

'Settings' is nil.

Thing is that the BulletType is in the Settings module of each gun, so that connects to the Calibers module to make it work properly. I don't know how to engineer this, so I need some serious help here.

Give us more context, we cant really work with that

That gave us no insight into the state of 'Settings'. How are you declaring it?
