Datastore attempts to load/make data when there isn't any?

Asked by 5 years ago

(This block of code is a small segment of my datastore, if you need more of the code, ask me.)

    local id = plr.UserId
    local datasuccess, datamsg = pcall(function()
        plyrid = dsso:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
    end)
    char = dsso:GetAsync("char", nil)
    checkout = dsso:GetAsync("checkout", nil)

    game.ReplicatedStorage.WipeEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function()
        print("Resetting data...")
        --[ALL DATA RESETS]
        if datasuccess then
            dsso:SetAsync("char", {})
            char[1] = tostring(plyrmodel["Left Arm"].Color)
            char[2] = tostring(plyrmodel["Right Arm"].Color)
            char[3] = tostring(plyrmodel["Left Leg"].Color)
            char[4] = tostring(plyrmodel["Right Leg"].Color)
            char[5] = tostring(plyrmodel["Torso"].Color)
            char[6] = tostring(plyrmodel["Head"].Color)

            print("Data reset!")
        end
    end)

    game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
        dsso:SetAsync(plr, char)
        dsso:SetAsync("checkout", id)
    end)

    game.ReplicatedStorage.LoadEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
        print("Attempting to load data to client side...")
        if datasuccess then
            dsso:GetAsync(plr, char)
            if char ~= nil and dsso:GetAsync("checkout") ~= nil then
                print("Data found, loading...")
                game.ReplicatedStorage.GenEvent:FireClient(plr)
            else
                print("No data found! Returning error screen...")
                game.ReplicatedStorage.FailEvent:FireClient(plr)
            end

The LoadEvent would only fire the GenEvent if the checkout variable was not nil, and would in theory only work if the RemoteEvent had been triggered before the LoadEvent to set it's value to the player's ID, and then saved that value in the datastore. But when I try to load the game with no previous data saved, it works for some reason and makes data out of nowhere, which I do not want. What's going on?
