I have made a datastore script that checks if a key exists. if it does then it updates the datastore, if it doesnt find a key then it sets the datastore key but for some reason it is not finding the key at all. Here is the module script code

local module = {}
local datastoreservice = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local inv = datastoreservice:GetDataStore('inventory')
function module.SetInventory(pid)
	local val = inv:GetAsync(pid)
	print(val)
	if not val == nil then
		print("The datastore was found")
		table.insert(val,"A new datastore key!")
		inv:UpdateAsync(pid,val)
	else
		print("NO key was found")
		inv:SetAsync(pid,{" the first key"})
		
	end
	
end
return module

here is the server side script

local invdata = require(game.ServerScriptService.datastoreinventory)
local datastoreservice = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local inv = datastoreservice:GetDataStore('inventory')
invdata.SetInventory('babo')
wait(3)
local val = inv:GetAsync('babo')
print(val)

Remove the not from line 7, it reverses the val value turning it into most likely false if the value is not nil or false. Also UpdateAsync takes in function as second parameter so on line 10 it will error. I, however, don't understand what do you want to achieve with it.

@imKidra I want it to reverse it as It checks if the datastore key is empty or not. The update async updates the datastore key if it already exists
