ive been looking to know more about module scripts but the documentation doesnt say much about it, i know you can use it as a global function, but are there any other uses for it? ive heard about things like "metatables" from it but i've never learned what they do

no need to learn about metatables rn
just put on a tutorial about module scripts
earnest oasis
but what is a metatable
I don't think you need that rn just learn about modules rn
earnest oasis
i DO know how to make global functions and stuff
module scripts are not global functions tho

earnest oasis
well i guess they arent
no they arent
earnest oasis
but they can be used as one
yeah
first understand what is a module script
than worry about metatable
frosty umbra
but what is a metatable
its OOP

thats like the only use i know about them

what is a module script
a script that can contain multiple different things it can do that can be called by any script, local or server, and the called function will be ran on the context of the script called
the only USE i know of is global functions but i've heard theres more uses
im just looking to know what those are
earnest oasis

a lot more uses

okay you do understand on a surface level
on a deeper level module script gets ran once when it's required for the first time
and then put into memory
later calls will use the one in memory without running the module again
so basically it's a table
actually no
it's a value
any value
module scripts are huge values
fiery ibex
oh alright
fiery ibex
a lot more uses
what are some other things you could do then
fiery ibex
like how
earnest oasis
local module = {}
module.myValue = 10
return myValue
you don't understand modules if you don't understand what I'm talking about
fiery ibex
ah alright
and if i were to set myValue to 20 on a script, would it return 10 or 20 on a different script?

if im not mistaken you can store literally anything. lists, variables, functions, anything you want. you just use modules when you wanna use the stored info in multiple scripts
blissful oasis
you don't understand modules if you don't understand what I'm talking about
And are modules able to be modified at any point by other scripts? Or are they read-only

they act just like any other value
that's it
if you have a table it's a table
if you have a number it's a number
