Help with modules

[vivid hawk]

I have no idea on how to use module scripts yet. Im making one where it prints a word then follows up wtih the players name, but it prints out "nil". How do I fix this?

local module = {
    easy = function(player)
        print("Easy")
        print(player)
    end,
}

return module```

also the server script

local plr
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    plr = player
end)

local modulescript = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.ModuleScript)

modulescript.easy()```

pass plr var into function

[vivid hawk]

[mellow creek]

that is simplified

[vivid hawk]

im dumb asf i just realized var here means variable and not video assistant referee

[gleaming orbit]

That was simplified as it gets 😔

[mellow creek]

demote him

[vivid hawk]

i passed the variable, still nothing

[mellow creek]

it should be

[vivid hawk]

it still prints out "nil", i even used an if statement to see if there is a player

[mellow creek]

where did you pass the var

[vivid hawk]

modulescript.easy(plr)

!!!

[gleaming orbit]

The way you have it doesn't allow for passed variables

[vivid hawk]

how fix

[gleaming orbit]

wait actually

that isnt the problem

it allows for them

it's just the piece of code you're running to fire the function is running before the player joins lol

[mellow creek]

dude you want to run the code in play mode not in test mode

[vivid hawk]

i did

😭

[vivid hawk]

ill put wait thing then

[mellow creek]

or jsut put that function into playeradded

instead of plr var pass the player variable straight in

[vivid hawk]

okay i got it

[gleaming orbit]

Just put it into the player added lol

[mellow creek]

i just woke up im getting dumb

[gleaming orbit]

^ and im clearly getting tired

[vivid hawk]

dw vru, i wake up and im still dumb by afternoon

k thanks guys

👍

[twilit kayak]

you know you can just do like

local module = {}


function module.easy(player)
    print("Ez gg")
    print(player)
end

return module

but theres many ways to use a module

🤷‍♂️

[old nymph]

thats how you use modules ^^^

but at first I also had problems to understand modulescripts

cuz I didnt know for what reason I could need them

after I discovered "OOP" I slowly understood the usage of modulescripts

[patent dust]

once you get to a level of understand oop and module scripts your life just gets easier

[old nymph]

I would highly recommend going into roblox forums to understand

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/roblox-oop-object-oriented-programming/1639499/8
this is where I learned OOP (Object Orientated Programming). After seeing this I started using Modules and I basically improved so much than before
