"A ModuleScript is a Script-like object that contains code for a module. Unlike other scripts, a module does not execute when a game starts. The code in a module script can be run by calling the require global function with the ModuleScript as an argument. Its code is executed at the point it is required, and will only be executed once per peer (server/client). If a ModuleScript is required multiple times in the same environment the return value from the first execution will be used for every require call. When writing code for a large project, you may find yourself defining the same function in several different places. Using module scripts, you can define a function in one place to be used in any number of scripts. This makes maintaining and updating code much easier, as you only have to make changes in one place (as opposed to searching for all the scripts where you use the function).
