I'll use short example programs to explain exactly what I am trying to achieve. I have a a file test.lua that looks like this testAPI = require("testAPI") testAPI.talk() testAPI.setWord("Goodbye") testAPI.talk() I also have a file /lib/testAPI.lua that looks like this testAPI = {} local word = "Hello" function testAPI.talk() print(word) end function testAPI.setWord(s) word = s end return testAPI when I run test.lua for the first time I get the output Hello Goodbye but than I run it a second time and I get Goodbye Goodbye How can I get the variable 'word' to reset

There are about 30 players in the PlayerData.json file at the moment. I realize that as the number grows, it will become a problem.

It has plenty of os.sleep(x) calls to prevent it from erroring. You can see I have added some extra code near line 365 in hopes to prevent the computer from erroring out. It didn't seem to help nearly as much as I hoped. I think it has to do with when the server lags. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.
