So I updated my dataStore script and its giving me this error "Attempt to index nil with number"
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("ChadWardenSave13")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local saveRemote = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Save")
local function saveData(player) -- The functions that saves data
local tableToSave = {
player.Data.HasGame.Value, -- First value from the table
player.Data.Hair.Value,
player.Data.Outfit.Value,
player.Data.Accessory.Value,
player.Data.Gender.Value,
player.Data.Spins.Value
}
local success, err = pcall(function()
DataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, tableToSave) -- Save the data with the player UserId, and the table we wanna save
end)
if success then
print("Data has been saved!")
else
print("Data hasn't been saved!")
warn(err)
end
end
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) -- When a player leaves the game
saveData(player) -- Save the data
end)
game:BindToClose(function() -- When the server shuts down
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
saveData(player) -- Save the data
end
end)
--creating data
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
wait()
local folder = Instance.new("Folder", player)
folder.Name = "Data"
local HasGame = Instance.new("BoolValue", folder)
HasGame.Name = "HasGame"
local Hair = Instance.new("StringValue", folder)
Hair.Name = "Hair"
local Outfit = Instance.new("StringValue", folder)
Outfit.Name = "Outfit"
local Accessory = Instance.new("StringValue", folder)
Accessory.Name = "Accessory"
local Gender = Instance.new("StringValue", folder)
Gender.Name = "Gender"
local Blood = Instance.new("StringValue", folder)
Blood.Name = "Blood"
local Spins = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
Spins.Name = "Spins"
--visibiliy of spin button variable
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SAME HERE
local data
local success, err = pcall(function()
data = DataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
end)
if success then
HasGame.Value = data[1]
Hair.Value = data[2]
Outfit.Value = data[3]
Accessory.Value = data[4]
Gender.Value = data[5]
Blood.Value = data[6]
Spins.Value = data[7]
else
print("The player has no data!") -- The default will be set to 0
HasGame.Value = false
Hair.Value = "ConfirmedNewSave"
Outfit.Value = "ConfirmedOutfitNewSave"
Accessory.Value = "ConfirmedHornsNewSave"
Gender.Value = "Male"
Blood.Value = "Burgundy"
Spins.Value = 8
end
end)
and it points to line 94 the HasGame.Value = data[1] part
local data
local success, err = pcall(function()
data = DataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
end)
if success then
HasGame.Value = data[1] --THIS PART HERE
Hair.Value = data[2]
Outfit.Value = data[3]
Accessory.Value = data[4]
Gender.Value = data[5]
Blood.Value = data[6]
Spins.Value = data[7]
so therefore the bottom part where it selects the default values if the player is new doesnt work properly and therefore my Spinner gui doesnt work properly but thats besides the point
Why is it saying attempt to index nil with number on that part? the HasGame is a boolValue which is meant to detect if the player has been here before and doesnt exploit the SpinGui
Could it be that since the HasGame is a boolvalue and the rest are StringValues that it isnt working? or have I misplaced the numbers through data[1-7]?

maybe you could try setting the index on the tableToSave variable? For example, {[1] = HasGame.Value, [2] = Hair.Value} etc.
