Retrieving Multiple Module Scripts?

Asked by

So I've been trying to think of a new way to make an equip script for guns without a tool. I think if I use a module and bind the keys in a local script outside multiple modules, I should be able to make a weapon system that is very versatile.

LocalScript-->Resources-->RetrieveModule(name)-->Bind keys to Module functions...

like an example might be...

1local mod = retrieve(game.Workspace.M1911)
2 
3function OnKeyDown(key)
4    if key == "r" then
5        mod.reload()
6    elseif key == "f" then
7        mod.melee()
8    end
9end

mod itself could be changed to different types of guns. Resources would be local of course. Any thoughts about my idea? Do you guys think it is plausible? I thought this is up but I don't want to spend the time scripting if it doesn't work.

I'd say this is very neat and possible idea. All you'd need for that to work, is the gun model, so I guess you could do it like:

`1`	`local` `mod` `=` `require(game.Workspace.M1911Module)(gunModel)`

So you'd have to make so the module returns a function, that takes the gunModel and initalizes the system and at the end returns table with actions.

Yes exactly. Thank you for the input. I really wanted a second person's opinion! soaprocks2 75 — 11y
