attempt to index number with 'UserId'?
Does anyone know why this is happening? I have a table that updates player values across all places. I changed it to UserId instead of Name because this way if someone changes their name it, their data will be the same. This table is for an admin system which gives them a rank.
The code:
function updateRank(Player, givenRank)
DataStore:UpdateAsync(Key, function(rank)
rank[Player.UserId] = givenRank
end)
end
Help will be greatly appreciated!

I'm pretty sure you can't set a function's parameters to another value other than the one passed in, although I haven't tested it. PoWerofThEePg 43 — 3y

It worked with Player.Name ColeRandom -6 — 3y

Use player.Name, as that value is unique like the user id, you can't change it and no two players can have the same name. PoWerofThEePg 43 — 3y

I know that but it is for an admin system and if they were to change their name it would screw it up ColeRandom -6 — 3y

Please encode Lua code in the Lua block code tag (look for the Lua icon in the editor).
function updateRank(Player, givenRank)
DataStore:UpdateAsync(Key, rank)
rank[Player.UserId] = givenRank
end
end
try this, this should work i think

That doesn't work, UpdateAsync requires a transformFunction ColeRandom -6 — 3y
