Workspace.Door1.Part.Script:2: attempt to index nil with 'UserId' error?

Asked 171 views1 answers

I'm trying to make a level door system, I have the database all set up and working but my door is not working with the error in the title. Can anyone give me a hand? Thanks.

local DataStore2 = require(1936396537)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
	local levelStore = DataStore2("Level", player)
	if levelStore <= 1 then
		script.Parent.CanCollide = false
	end
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
	local levelStore = DataStore2("Level", player)
	if levelStore <= 1 then
		script.Parent.CanCollide = true
	end
end)

LocalPlayer does not exist on server since it does not know who you mean by local player

you need to hook up the player from the colliding part ie:

-- mockup DataStore NOT NEEDED!
local DataStore2 = (function(Group, player)  -- require(1936396537)
	local DS = {
		["Level"] = {
			["TGazza"] = 0
		}
	}	
	
	if(DS[Group] ~= nil) then
		if(DS[Group][player] ~= nil) then
			return DS[Group][player]
		end
	end
	return math.huge -- Omg it's Huge!
end)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(bit)
	local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(bit.Parent)
	if(player == nil) then return end
	local levelStore = DataStore2("Level", player.Name)
	if levelStore <= 1 then
		script.Parent.CanCollide = false
	end
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(bit)
	local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(bit.Parent)
	if(player == nil) then return end
	local levelStore = DataStore2("Level", player.Name)
	if levelStore <= 1 then
		script.Parent.CanCollide = true
	end
end)

hope this helps! :)
