I have tried over and over to make what's in my module script work I tested it in a normal script and it works so I removed it and just tried to print no errors nothing can anyone tell me why

MODULE SCRIPT

local module = {
    myFunc = function()
        print("function processed")
    end
}


return module

Call Module

local functionTest = require(game.ServerStorage.ModuleScript)

print("done right")

I know its simple but it just won't work please help

The reason myFunc is not called is well... because you never actually call it.

The way you have your module setup, a function is defined within a table and required into a variable called functionTest.

functionTest is a table, not a function.

To call the function when the module is required, you could leave your "Call Module" script the same, and change the Module Script to look like this:

Option 1

local module = {
    myFunc = function()
        print("function processed")
    end
}

module.myFunc() -- this calls the function

return module

To continue with the module script as it is, you would call the function like this:

Option 2

local functionTest = require(game.ServerStorage.ModuleScript)

functionTest.myFunc() -- this calls the function "myFunc" from the module

print("done right")
