How do I fix this issue with detecting IntValue changes?

Asked by 4 years ago
Edited 4 years ago

I am having an error when I try to detect IntValue changes for a player.

local coinStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("coinsv1")
local jumpAmountStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("jumpv1")
local levelStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("levelv1")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", p)
    local coins = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
    local levels = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
    local jumpAmount = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    coins.Name = "Coins"
    levels.Name = "Level"
    jumpAmount.Name = "Jumps"
    coins.Value = 0
    levels.Value = 1
    jumpAmount.Value = 0

    local jumpPower
    p.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(c)
        jumpPower = c.Humanoid.JumpPower
        c.Humanoid.JumpPower = jumpPower
    end)

    local data
    local datatwo
    local datathree
    local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
        data = coinStore:GetAsync(p.UserId.."-coins")
        datatwo = jumpAmountStore:GetAsync(p.UserId.."-jumps")
        datathree = levelStore:GetAsync(p.UserId.."-level")
    end)

    if success then
        coins.Value = data
        levels.Value = datathree
        jumpAmount.Value = datatwo
    else
        print(errormessage)
    end

    local recentcoins
    jumpAmount.Changed:Connect(function()
        if jumpAmount.Value == datatwo + 20 then
            levels.Value = levels.Value + 1
            recentcoins = jumpAmount.Value
        elseif jumpAmount.Value == recentcoins + 20 then
            levels.Value = levels.Value + 1
            recentcoins = jumpAmount.Value  
        end
    end)

    local recentjumps
    jumpAmount.Changed:Connect(function()
        if jumpAmount.Value == datatwo + 10 then
            local jumps = jumpAmount.Value / 10
            jumps = jumps + 50
            local cjump = p.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower
            cjump = jumps
            recentjumps = jumpAmount.Value
        elseif jumpAmount.Value == recentjumps + 10 then
            local jumps = jumpAmount.Value / 10
            jumps = jumps + 50
            local cjump = p.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower
            cjump = jumps
            recentjumps = jumpAmount.Value  
        end
    end)
end)

The error is at line 46 and 60. The error is attempt to perform arithmetic (add) on nil and number.

On line 41, you set recentcoins variable to nil . So on line 46 and 60, it tries to add 20 and 10 to a nil value, causing the error. Set recentcoins to 0 instead of just nil.

EDIT: It's also the case with line 52. Fix that too.
