A question

[velvet fulcrum]

Hello guys would I need to learn about OOP / Module scripts ? I think I am an intermediate level scripter maybe or a bit lower idk tbh but do I need to learn about them or aren't they important ? and what are like some really important things that I could learn and are very important in every script / game

[earnest glade]

[velvet fulcrum]

I don't really have a goal now like I am just learning stuff but I don't know what to learn or what to do to improve

[earnest glade]

Well, I recommend using the tutorials @haughty geyser and I have sent you to understand and get a grasp of the concept. Then, you can try to apply it.

[haughty geyser]

have you actually made anything with what you’ve learnt so far?

OOP is a way to use custom data and methods on an object atleast for roblox

if you set the functions of a module and create an object using a .new() function (which creates a meta table), you can use that new 'object' as a sort of custom instance

for example, I made an AI NPC module using OOP that allows you to crate a new NPC object by calling module.new() and then that object has all the properties as a humanoid along with custom data that I added, such as wander() attack() skill1() passive() etc

it allows for less repetitiveness in your code and just overall easier work flow when you intend to make a more intricate system or something you will use multiple times

• oh and using 'self' in the module script refers to the object you create during OOP so self.anything will be accessible later, for example, as NPC.anything when you create a new instance
