Post Requiring lua files
So I have this base script that has a couple of functions that multiple other scripts will use, and for the sake of good programming practices I want the other scripts to do a require of that file, however I'm getting errors when I do it.

All the scripts are in Mod.rte/Scripts, but when I try to do require("Mod.rte/Scripts/FileWithFunctions.lua") I get a lengthy "module not found" error with all the places it searched for it, which includes Mod.rte/Scripts/FileWithFunctions.lua.

I also tried with what I found here, but I still can't get it to work.

Any help?

You need to use dofile - dofile("Mod.rte/path_to_script"). I think require only accepts things in base or something, so maybe you could do require("../Mod.rte/path_to_script")? I don't quite remember now how it works differently to be honest.

Using dofile instead of required did it! I've sure learnt a lot of lua now lol, thanks a lot for the help again! :D
