Is there a way to edit several scripts at once without linked scripts?

I have linked scripts in my weapons so I don't have to go in an edit every single one whenever I want to change it. The problem is, the scripts involve the scripts parent(it decides which animation to play based off a value in the tool), so it ends up using every single scripts parent. Is there any way to edit all of the scripts at once without linked scripts or have the scripts only get their own parent and not every other scripts parent?

01--module script
02local _M = {}
03local A = false
04local B = false
05local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
06local players = game:GetService("Players")

08function _M.attack(player, tool, checker)
09checker = true
10local F = tool.Type.Value
11local a = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Animations:FindFirstChild(F)
12if checker == true then
13local h = player.Humanoid

You should look into http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/ModuleScript Goulstem 8144 — 7y

If I wanted to edit the activation script, would I have to go through every single one or could I use a linked script for that? Viking359 161 — 7y

You can make the module return a function with parameters that affect what happens. Require the module and call the function with different parameters correlating to each tool Goulstem 8144 — 7y

Now I have this weird glitch where if I attack with one qeapon in my backpack, I can't attack with any other weapon in my backpack except one added after it attacked. Viking359 161 — 7y

But that's not our problem. We are only dealing with script edits. Not your other errors. New question H4X0MSYT 536 — 7y
