DataReady is never true?

Asked by

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    if game.Players.LocalPlayer.DataReady == true then
        local house = game.ReplicatedStorage.AverageHouse:Clone()
        --Miscellaneous code
        game.Players.LocalPlayer:SaveInstance("House", house)
        game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.HouseGUI:Destroy()
    else print("wait")
    end
end)

This script is in a button. When I click the button, a house model should show up in workspace and be saved via data persistence. However, it never works because DataReady never becomes true! What's going on here?

If you are trying to use "DataReady" with a guest (AKA a user with a "UserId" less then 0) then that user's "DataReady" property will never equal true!

Well, that and he never waits for DataReady to become ready, he goes straight into the if then statement. Also, I believe DataReady works on Guests, it just returns nil keys and values (though I could be wrong). M39a9am3R 3210 — 8y

Last time I checked, WaitForDataReady was broken and I had to resort to a repeat loop until DataReady was true. Spongocardo 1991 — 8y
