why doesnt datastore work but other datastores in the same exact format does?
Im trying to make a datastore. I know that this script works, but when i go to make it save a different value, it errors out and i have no idea. Why?
01 | local currencyName = "Company1PromotionCurrent" |
02 |
03 | local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Company1PromotionCurrent") |
04 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
05 | wait(1) |
06 | local currency = player:WaitForChild("PlayerValues"):WaitForChild("OtherValues"):WaitForChild("CompanyValues"):WaitForChild("PromotionCurrent").Value |
07 | local ID = currencyName.."-"..player.UserId |
08 | local savedData = nil |
09 | pcall(function() |
10 | savedData = DataStore:GetAsync(ID) |
11 | end) |
12 | if savedData ~= nil then |
13 | currency.Value = savedData |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
16 |
17 | game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) |
18 | local ID = currencyName.."-"..player.UserId |
19 | DataStore:SetAsync(ID,player.PlayerValues.OtherValues.CompanyValues:FindFirstChild("PromotionCurrent").Value) |
20 | end) |

Yoyoyoyoyoyoyoo I use to have this problem. U wanna know why? Its because when you load in, if you have previously used that datastore you will be loading a different type of value then its like.. "Bro... what da heck.. You just saved me as a boolean but now you are trying to change me into a integer? Get lost..".
I hope that explained it. To fix it either change the name of the datastore into something where u dont have any values saved yet. Orrrr, just make the value into nothing, and just let it be then make different values. If this is confusing contact my discord getzum#9659
I had this problem and I never knew why but after a month I was like... oh.. yeah im dumb.
