How do I require a module that is located in ServerScriptStorage?

Asked by 9 years ago

I was trying to be neat placing a Module in ServerScriptStorage but I'm unable to require it from a Local Script so I made a RemoteFunction but I got an error.

How do I fix this error?

Error:

OnServerInvoke is a callback member of RemoteFunction; you can only set the callback value, get is not available

Players.Player.PlayerGui.LocalScript', Line 2

game.Workspace.Script:

RemoteFunction = Instance.new('RemoteFunction')
RemoteFunction.Parent = script
RemoteFunction.Name = 'GetShopModule'

function RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke()
    return game.ServerScriptService.ShopModule
end

game.ServerScriptStorage.ShopModule:

Table = {}
function Table.CreateShop()

end

return Table

game.ScreenGui.LocalScript:

GetShopModule= game.Workspace.Script:WaitForChild('GetShopModule')
ShopModule = require(GetShopModule.OnServerInvoke())

ShopModule.CreateShop()

What does the error mean and why did I get it?

How do I fix this and possibly make it more neater?

Oh and where could I place the script other then workspace?

(I can't place it in ServerScriptStorage because then I won't be able to invoke the function)

It is not possible to access any of the contents of ServerScriptService or ServerStorage from a LocalScript. This is by design.

Try putting the ModuleScript in ReplicatedStorage instead.

If I were to use bindable events or functions I will put in Replicated Storage also? kevinnight45 550 — 9y

BindableEvents don't work between LocalScripts and Scripts, but you would put *Remote*Events/Functions there, though adark 5487 — 9y
