ServerScript inside a MainModule is not running his code?
Ok, so I asked this question a few days ago but no one seemed to really help me. So I am asking it again in the hope someone will finnaly help me.
So I got a script called Loader this is a ServerScript and it's requiring my MainModule. And yes! I have uploaded the MainModule to ROBLOX, so that's not the problem. Ok, so the Loader Script does his work.
The code of the MainModule is:
print("MainModule loaded!")
return true
So now you're asking what's the problem? Well, the MainModule is not the problem. I got a ServerScript inside the MainModule and the code of that ServerScript never runs... Lets call it PrintScript just to make is more clear. So it's like: MainModule > PrintScript. (because the PrintScript is inside of the MainModule.)
PrintScript code:
print(script.Name.." ran!") -- Never happens?!?
The PrintScript isn't disabled so that's not the problem! So, the problem is that PrintScript never runs.
Important notes: My game is FilteringEnabled.
Does anyone know how to fix this so the PrintScript runs his code? Thank you for your time. And I hope you can help me.

Your PrintScript isn't running because it's not a descendant of any object that it can run within. When you require() your asset it is creating a hierarchy of <nil>.Model.MainModule.PrintScript. A ServerScript should be run within Workspace or ServerScriptService.
Now there are a few ways of making your PrintScript work. The simplest would be to set PrintScript's Parent from your MainModule.
print("MainModule loaded!")
script.PrintScript.Parent = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
return true
Another way is to turn your PrintScript into a ModuleScript and require it from the MainModule.
print("MainModule loaded!")
require(script.PrintScript)
return true
