Requiring a module script more than once?
If I have a changed function inside a module script and I require it twice, will the changed function run twice or once?

How would you change a function in it after requiring it though? If you mean overrieing a function with getfenv() then the answer is no, it wont run twice Amiaa16 3227 — 5y

Sorry I was unclear, for example if I had a while wait loop inside, if I require twice will the loop run twice? trecept 367 — 5y

See the documentation for ModuleScript.
A ModuleScript is a type of Lua source container that runs once and must return exactly one value. This value is then returned by a call to
requiregiven the ModuleScript as the only argument. ModuleScripts run once and only once per Lua environment and return the exact same value for subsequent calls torequire.
