Why am I getting an Infinite yield warning for requiring a module?

Asked by

Everytime I start the game I get a warning saying Infinite yield possible on 'ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("MathModule")'

m = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild("MathModule"))
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
while wait(2) do
    local cLevel = plr.leaderstats.Level.Value
    local cEXP = plr.leaderstats.EXP.Value
    local NLEXP = m.nextLevel(cLevel + 1)
    local nEXP = NLEXP - cEXP
    script.Parent.Text = "EXP to next level: "..nEXP
end

try to put a wait(1) in the first line of script, and remove the :WaitForChild. yHasteeD 1819 — 5y

I get tons of these warnings too. Should I try to get rid of them or are they just harmless notifications? OBenjOne 190 — 5y

And no don't try the wait(1) method or it will give you an error OBenjOne 190 — 5y

Errors are worse than warnings OBenjOne 190 — 5y

Look at my answer. It's only a warning because it's saying it's been multiple seconds and the child wasn't found. The reason the wait(1) method just shows an error is because the child isn't there. Knineteen19 307 — 5y

"Infinite yield possible," is just saying that it has been multiple seconds, and the child hasn't been found yet. It might be that you made a typo somewhere when you were naming the "MathModule," or it might be that you referenced the wrong parent, and the child does not exist. Also, I think "ServerScriptService," doesn't exist when the game is actually running. Since it's probably a local script, you might have to do something creative with remote events to send something to a non-local script that has the same parent as the "MathModule" and do . . .

local mathModule = script.Parent:WaitForChild("MathModule")

To be honest, the easiest way would be to change the parent of the "MathModule" to something other than ServerScriptService if possible.

By the way, I'm not entirely sure that ServerScriptService doesn't exist after the game starts, but from my experience, all of the stuff in it is moved somewhere that I don't know. Knineteen19 307 — 5y
