Require module

[MAARS]

I am facing problems while requiring module file, both script are in the same directory but the module can not be reached.

Module (file name: 'function.lua')

local func = {}

function func.sayHello()
  gg.alert("Hello World !")
end 

return func

Main Script:

local func = require 'function.lua'
func.sayHello()

 

Note: my function are currently doing more complex things i just simplified cause the problem is about finding module file

In your main script try the following code: 

package.path = package.path .. ";" .. gg.getFile():gsub("[^/]+$", "?.lua")
local func = require "function"
func.sayHello()

The first line adds script directory to list of paths in which modules are searched.

As the same with gg.getFile() you need to implement the storage directory aswell as the script name, i had a module working before

Thanks but when i code in lua on my pc, relative path are not needed when requiring module in the same directory.

Edit: still not working even with relative path

Its needed when using GameGuardian. For example you cant load a file with gg.prompt without specifying the path aswell
