Hey dev! I want know if is a difference if I make my script like

local module = {}

function module.newfunc() -- I use a simple dot (.)
       -- code
end

return module

And like

local module = {}

function module:newfunc() -- I use a double dots (:)
       -- code
end

return module

the single dot is used for if it is in a brick already, and want it to find the part, or run the part. ex: game.workspace.part. the double dots is used for adding a new function to the script. ex: Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") TheEmeraIdDev 22 — 4y
