Careful.

Your ModuleScript doesn't ask for module.pose. It just has pose as a global variable.

If you want to be able to modify it from the outside, you should use instead refer to module.pose within the ModuleScript (which the other scripts can touch as in S.pose)


Nonetheless, I think it would be better to pass the pose as a parameter to a function, rather than modifying the variable directly.
