"attempt to index nil with UserId" error with data stores?
Hello all, I am in need of support. I have been trying for days to find a solution for this error. Basically, the player variable returns nil, and I am literally unable to find why it's nil. I've scoured the internet for answers but most of them are just specific to the people who made the question... anyways, can someone help me fix this dreadful error?
As always with Data Stores, this is a server script.
01 | local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService") |
02 | local WindowsActivated = dss:GetDataStore("WindowsActivated") |
03 |
04 | local frame = script.Parent |
05 | --local t = frame.activateText |
06 | local value = script.Parent.Parent.activation.activated |
07 |
08 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plrobj) |
09 | plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(plrobj) |
10 | end) |
11 |
12 | while true do |
13 | wait(0.2) |
14 |
15 | local success, errormsg = pcall(function() |

Thanks in advance.

use plrobj instead of plr, remove plr entirely, or if you do want to use plr then add plrobj.Name in the parenthesis of line 9 greatneil80 2647 — 3y

There is a problem in line 9 and
If there is more than one player (if you are planning to have 1 player per server then you don't need to), the loop won't loop for the other player. Attempt putting the loop inside of the event

unfortunately, it didn't work. it still says that the player is nil. in fact, i tried adding a print statement in the PlayerAdded event, and it didn't even run. Is there something blocking it from running? PaleNoobs 37 — 3y
