Lua 'require' module/library functionality in LY

Question

Hello all,

I'm looking to use the 'require' functionality in Lua (as described [here](http://lua-users.org/wiki/ModulesTutorial)) as in this example:

```
mymodule = require "mymodule"
mymodule.foo()
```
to utilise Lua's version of libraries (modules) in Lumberyard, however I'm getting the following error when attempting to do so:

```
[Warning] levelname/scripts/test.lua:5: module 'mymodule' not found:Module "mymodule.luac" has not been registered with the Asset Database.---------- START STACK TRACE ---------- ---------- END STACK TRACE ----------
```
I get the feeling that this functionality is not implemented for use in Lumberyard? Could this please be confirmed if so, or insight given as to the proper way to achieve this effect in LY if implemented differently?

Thanks a lot,

Alex

Hey @REDACTEDUSER
**FileName**: mymodule.lua

REMOVEDUPLOAD

**FileName**: lua_test.lua

**Output:**

**Note:** There is a known bug where lua files do not reload into the Lua Script component after we make changes to the scripts. For this, we simply need to re-browse for the Lua file in the Lua Script component to load the latest changes. We are working on fixing this issue ASAP —

Hope this was helpful!

Bumping this hoping for an answer, it's proving to be a blocker to implementing functionality!
