Hey, I am creating a datastore checker script so I can perform actions to the user's screen. Unfortunately, I am constantly facing an issue where the "plr" variable changes to nil, and I can't seem to find why.
Here is my server script!
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService") local dsActivated = ds:GetDataStore("WindowsActivated") local newKey = ds:GetDataStore("ProductKey") local event = rs.licenseKey local globalPlayerVar event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, key) globalPlayerVar = plr script.Parent.Text = key script.Parent.Parent.changeKey.Visible = false local success1, errorMessage = pcall(function() newKey:SetAsync(plr.UserId.."keyWin", key) print(key) end) if not success1 then print(errorMessage) end local success2, errorMessage2 = pcall(function() dsActivated:SetAsync(plr.UserId.."activated", "true") end) if not success2 then print(errorMessage2) end end) wait(5) while wait(5) do local success3, errorMsg3 = pcall(function() license = newKey:GetAsync(globalPlayerVar.UserId.."keyWin") end) if not success3 then print(errorMsg3) end local success4, errorMsg4 = pcall(function() activatedStat = dsActivated:GetAsync(globalPlayerVar.UserId.."activated") end) if not success4 then print(errorMsg4) end end game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr2) if activatedStat ~= nil then if activatedStat == "true" then local success, errorMessage = pcall(function() dsActivated:SetAsync(plr2.UserId.."activated", "true") end) if not success then print(errorMessage) end else local success, errorMessage = pcall(function() dsActivated:SetAsync(plr2.UserId.."activated", "false") end) if not success then print(errorMessage) end end end end)
Also, I am getting this error in the Output. This could be helpful to fixing my issue.
