How to call module script from the server instead of client?
I’ve been diving into module scripts and I know that its depended on the script that requires it whether its going to be on the server or client but I would like it to be on the server. However, you cannot use **UserInputService **on a server script so everything that happens will be on the client and I can’t figure a way around this. Could anyone help?
LocalScript:
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]
if ActivateAbility and Debounce == true then
local Cooldown = ActivateAbility.Cooldown
Debounce = false
ActivateAbility.Activate()
wait(Cooldown)
Debounce = true
end
end)
ModuleScript:
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Players = game.Players
local Cooldown = nil
local Abilitys = {
[Enum.KeyCode.Q] = {
Activate = function(Player)
local Character = Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local Gem = 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,
Cooldown = 1.1
},
[Enum.KeyCode.F] = {
Activate = function(Player)
local Character = Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Health = Humanoid.Health
local MaxHealth = Humanoid.MaxHealth
local timer = 15
print(Character.Name)
end,
Cooldown = 5
}
}
return Abilitys

Well, I'm not sure why you would need to require that module on the server. As you said, the module is dealing with user input so it has no business being required server-side.
However, there are cases where modules may have both server-side and client-side exclusive applications, and when that is the case, you can always check to see which machine your code is running on by using RunService:IsServer() and RunService:IsClient().
Therefore, you could modify your module code to only access the UserInputService if the script is running client-side. For example:
local RunService = game:GetService('RunService')
local myModule = {}
if RunService:IsClient() then
local UserInputService = game:GetService('UserInputService')
-- ... rest of client-exlusive code here
else
-- ... rest of server-exclusive code here
end
return myModule
Let me know if you have any questions.
