How add a cooldown for an ability script that works in conjunction with a module script?
Basically what I wrote in the question is what I need help on. I tried to add a cooldown in the module script then get it from the local script but I get this error
21:01:18.542 Players.Funnyskyswagway3.PlayerScripts.Keybinds:10: attempt to index nil with ‘Cooldown’ - Client - Keybinds:10
Local Script:
local GameFolder = game.ReplicatedStorage.GameFolder
local Modules = GameFolder.Modules
local PearlModule = require(Modules.PearlAbilities)
local Debounce = true
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(hit, chat)
if chat then return end
local ActivateAbility = PearlModule[hit.KeyCode]
local Cooldown = ActivateAbility.Cooldown
if ActivateAbility and Debounce == true then
Debounce = false
ActivateAbility.Activate()
wait(Cooldown)
Debounce = true
end
end)
Module Script:
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local Abilitys = {
[Enum.KeyCode.Q] = {
Activate = function()
local Gem = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Gem")
if Gem.Light.Brightness == 0 then
Gem.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
TweenService:Create(Gem.Light,TweenInfo.new(1), {Brightness = 10} ):Play()
else
Gem.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
TweenService:Create(Gem.Light,TweenInfo.new(0.5), {Brightness = 0} ):Play()
end
end,
}
}
return Abilitys

You reference cooldown with the table in the modulescript, but It doesnt have a cooldown.
The part that Im talking about is
Abilitys[Enum.KeyCode.Q]
Cooldown tries to find a cooldown inside of the table, even though it doesnt exist
Im just going to copy your code and add a cooldown so you can understand
local Abilitys = {}
local keyQ = Abilitys[Enum.KeyCode.Q]
keyQ.Activate = function()
local Gem = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Gem")
if Gem.Light.Brightness == 0 then
Gem.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
TweenService:Create(Gem.Light,TweenInfo.new(1), {Brightness = 10} ):Play()
else
Gem.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
TweenService:Create(Gem.Light,TweenInfo.new(0.5), {Brightness = 0} ):Play()
end
end
keyQ.Cooldown = --whatever you want your cooldown to be
I recommend you write it in the way I do to make it easier to read
using .to create a function or [] is the same as what you did
You can just copy this into your modulescript, and it should work
Hope I helped!
