Accessing tables inside a ModuleScript?
I am currently working on an admin script but I am having some issues with the settings area mainly because I have never worked with ModuleScripts before but I feel like it is the best route to take. So my question is, how would I access the contents like admins etc. in this module script from another script? I am making a function that checks to see if the player is an admin (found below the module script) and I don't know how I would check the admin table inside the ranks dictionary.
Any advice would be great (wiki links, etc.). Thanks!
ModuleScript
--[[
These are the settings for Bman's Admin, if you have any questions or issues please contact
me (Bman8765) by sending me a message and I'll try to help!
--]]
return {
----------------[[ ADMINS ]]-----------------
Ranks = {
["Admin"] = {"Bman8765"}; -- Can use everything
["Banned"] = {"Noob", "Butt", "Idiot"}; -- Locked out of the server
}
---------------------------------------------
----------------[[ SETTINGS ]]---------------
---------------------------------------------
}
The Function for checking if an admin
function adminCheck(name)
for _, Name in pairs (IDK HOW TO ACCESS THE TABLE HERE) do
if (Name == name) then
return true
end
end
return false
end

I'm guessing that your module script is returning a function (which is generally what you want to do to load your module). When you want to access your table, you put it as an argument for the function you're returning.
In your module script:
return function(tables)
--do module script here
return adminsettings -- Return the settings for our admin.
end
and in your main loader script
func = require(module) -- This will load our module script, into a function that we can run. settings = func(table1, table2, table3) -- I'm not sure if this is the correct syntax, but you do something like this.
