Ok, so...Hi. I have some problems with my Data store...For the 10th time I ever try to save something...

Here's a more detailed explanation of the issue:

Error I get: ServerScriptService.DataStoreScript:18: attempt to index nil with 'GetChildren'

About the error: I have a folder that should be looped thru when the player leaves the game. That folder(as I test) has objects inside of it. They ARE in the server and they DO exist, but for some reason the script doesn't see the folder.

Where have I tested the script? In studio and in game. I don't know about you, but for me the data stores save in studio as long as I have the *API *and *HTTP * on.

What am I trying to even save?

The object's Name, CFrame(made into X, Y, Z and Orientation values)

Got any other questions?

Ask ahead. I will try and answer them as good and detailed as possible. Tho I hope you don't have because it's kinda late for me now xd (12am) and might not even see them, so if I don't see them you'd loose interest in helping me and forget about this.

Script:

01local Players = game.Players
