Why Does This Script For Retrieving DataStore Values Not Print Anything?
This script that I have made is supposed to filter through 7 values in the player's storage and determine which of them are true (one out of seven will always be true). However, when this script is activated, absolutely nothing happens; nothing is printed other than the first one, "loading." This really is frustrating me. Why won't it do anything?
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
print("loading") --The only thing that actually prints.
wait(3)
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("lorStore")
local text = player.PlayerGui.Tutorial.SaveNumber
local key = "user-" ..player.UserId.. "-lastSlot" --The key.
local savedValues = DataStore:GetAsync(key)
if savedValues ~= nil then
local values = {savedValues[1], savedValues[2], savedValues[3], savedValues[4], savedValues[5], savedValues[6], savedValues[7]}
for i, v in pairs(values) do
if v == true then
print("loaded")
text.Text = i --Whichever value is true, the number is put on the GUI.
else
print("nil")
text.Text = "error"
end
end
else
print("key doesn't exist")
end
end)
Thank you for helping out! It means a lot!

the datastore should be on line 1 before anything else.. just tested it and it prints "key doesnt exist" in my script test server. with datastore before the function and after so idk why it doesnt work for you RobloxianDestory 262 — 7y

I honestly can't debug unless you can give me a link to a screenshot of the Dev gui(F9) Because I can't see any errors. H4X0MSYT 536 — 7y

all i did was change the data store but i tested both ways and it worked for me.
and the numbers in the datastore is a precaution in case so no can use the datastore as you
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("lorStore34315262352352634426135")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
print("loading") --The only thing that actually prints.
wait(3)
local text = player.PlayerGui.Tutorial.SaveNumber
local key = "user-" ..player.UserId.. "-lastSlot" --The key.
local savedValues = DataStore:GetAsync(key)
if savedValues ~= nil then
local values = {savedValues[1], savedValues[2], savedValues[3], savedValues[4], savedValues[5], savedValues[6], savedValues[7]}
for i, v in pairs(values) do
if v == true then
print("loaded")
text.Text = i --Whichever value is true, the number is put on the GUI.
else
print("nil")
text.Text = "error"
end
end
else
print("key doesn't exist")
end
end)

I tried this and it actually worked when I tested it in Studio, but when I tested it by publishing it to an actual game and visiting it, it didn't work... 8391ice 91 — 7y

try seeing if it will work on a new server. RobloxianDestory 262 — 7y

Still nothing. 8391ice 91 — 7y

It seems to be happening because of the "GetAsync" line, as I decided to put the "print("loading")" line right before it and when I tested the game, everything worked until after it printed "loading." 8391ice 91 — 7y

i got this(nil) ( 21:57:18.233 - Workspace.Script:15: attempt to index local 'savedValues' (a nil value)) by changing line 11 to this. idk if it will help you but (if savedValues == nil then print(savedValues)) the ~= was changed to == RobloxianDestory 262 — 7y
