How can I fix this ModuleScript?

Bear with me here, please. I have this script in a brick:


local Library3 = require(Workspace.Start)
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
Library3.start(script.Parent.Parent.Parent)
end
end)

I have this in a ModuleScript:


local Library3={}
function Library3.start(item)
function scan(item)
if item:FindFirstChild("Rotor") then
item.Rotor.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(1020)
elseif item:FindFirstChild("Alert") then
item.Alert.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(1020)
item.Alert.Transparency = 0
end
if #item:GetChildren() > 0 then
for _,v in pairs(item:GetChildren()) do
scan(v)
end
end
end
end
return Library3

When a player touches the brick, it's supposed to call the module script, which is then supposed to scan all the bricks in the model to find "Alert" and "Rotor" and make the necessary changes to their properties. Touching the brick produces no effect however. Anything I'm doing wrong here?

You have a misplaced end.

local Library3={}

Library3["start"] = function(item)
    function scan(item)
        if item:FindFirstChild("Rotor") then
            item.Rotor.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(1020)
        elseif item:FindFirstChild("Alert") then
            item.Alert.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(1020)
            item.Alert.Transparency = 0
        end
    end
    if #item:GetChildren() > 0 then
        for _,v in pairs(item:GetChildren()) do
            scan(v)
        end
    end
end

return Library3

REMEMBER Formating is IMPORTANT. Readability is arguably more important than Functionality.

You're very, VERY welcome!! A great tip is to FORMAT your code. I noticed none of your code was tabbed out, so the first thing I did was format it, and that helped me find the error within seconds. NoahWillCode 370 — 9y
