What is a Module Script, and when should it be used? [closed]
ROBLOX recently added a new object, "ModuleScript," to the Basic Objects window in studio. How does it work? What is it? When should I use the new object?

A ModuleScript is an instance that mimics the built-in module system of Lua. You can imagine a ModuleScript as one big function that returns a value. In a normal script, you can use the require function which will return the value that the module script returns.
For example, if in a module script "Test" you have:
function hi()
print("Hello")
end
return hi
and then in a normal script:
say_hi = require(Workspace.Test) say_hi()
It will print "Hello".

More often you'd probably return a table though with multiple functions / variables instead of just one function.
