How can I prevent this from happening?
I have a script that needs to get data from a model in ServerStorage but it keeps giving me this error: attempt to index a nil value
The script line is this:
for i,v in pairs(game:GetService("ServerStorage"):FindFirstChild("Data"):GetChildren) do
Then it gets the data from it but sometimes it has nothing in it and it checks it any way returning a nil value and therefore returns an error. Do YOU know how to fix this?

You forgot the '()''s for the 'GetChildren' method. TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 10y

"GetChildren" is a method, and thereby needs parenthesis at the end of it. The correct line is as followed.
for i,v in pairs(game:GetService("ServerStorage"):FindFirstChild("Data"):GetChildren()) do
Please remember to vote as an act of kindness. It does help.
