So I made a dataStore script and its worked perfectly until I added a new variable "SpinVisibility"
im not sure whats exactly wrong with it but I keep getting the error
"line 99 attempt to index nil with number"
now I got this last error for my HasGame variable, and I found the solution to that was that I forgot to set it in both the table
this part
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.Blood.Value,
player.Data.Spins.Value,
player.Data.SpinVisibility.Value
}
and this part
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]
SpinVisibility.Value = data[8]
so tldr: I only made 6 values in the first one but I forgot about HasGame and in the 2nd part there were 7 values and thats how I got the error "attempt to index nil with number" and I also changed "player" to "plr" as its a script in serverscriptservice
When I fixed those parts my Spin Gui worked perfectly, but I needed a new variable for the visibility of the spin button so the player doesnt abuse it when they rejoin
and thats how it all led here, sorry if it seems like a life story but ever since ive added the SpinVisibility variable its given me the same error on line 99
HasGame.Value = data[1]
that part
ive checked for everything wrong with it and tried to fix it like i fixed the hasgame variable but nothings worked, tell me whats wrong with it please
heres the full datastore script
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Ballin2")
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.Blood.Value,
player.Data.Spins.Value,
player.Data.SpinVisibility.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(plr)
wait()
local folder = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
folder.Name = "Data"

You probably need to reset the DataStore. What I assume is happening is that you're trying to retrieve a DataStore value that does not exist. The DataStore isn't empty, that's why the pcall() isn't failing. But the DataStore has nil values in the table.
i mean I change the datastores name "Ballin" to "Ballin2" im not sure if thats what you mean tho
