Why does my error say that I gave a string value a table?
I am working on saving players data and when I run I get the error, "invalid argument #3 (string expected, got table)"
Why could this be?
The error is on line 5
local backpackKey = "user_" .. player.userId .. "_backpack"
local backpack = dataStore:GetAsync(backpackKey)
local bpObject = Instance.new("StringValue")
bpObject.Name = "BackpackItem"
bpObject.Value = backpack
bpObject.Parent = player

if bpObject.value is coming up as an error then it means that whatever your "backpack" variable is is a table instead of a string HEMAN_9 70 — 4y

local backpack = dataStore:GetAsync(backpackKey) I believe this line is returning a table of data.
Such as {"value", "value", "value"}.
You be wanting to do something like
bpObject.Value = backpack[1]
