Why am I getting this error in my datastore? (attempt to index local...)
I'm getting the error ServerScriptService.Datastore2:17: attempt to index local 'storedvalues' (a number value) and I'm not sure why
ServerScript 1
local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("test-001")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local hiddenstats = Instance.new("Folder")
hiddenstats.Name = "hiddenstats"
hiddenstats.Parent = plr
local Energy = Instance.new("IntValue")
Energy.Name = "Energy"
Energy.Parent = hiddenstats
Energy.Value = 100
local key = "User-" .. plr.userId
local storedvalues = DS:GetAsync(key)
if storedvalues then
Energy.Value = storedvalues[1] -- This is the source
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
local items = (plr.hiddenstats.Energy.Value)
local key = "User-" .. plr.userId
DS:SetAsync(key, items)
end)
I'm not the best at datastores if somebody could explain why I'm having this error and how to fix it, that would be nice ^_^ .

Lets do this logically:
The line thats causing the error is:
Energy.Value = storedvalues[1]
And roblox says:
attempt to index local 'storedvalues' (a number value)
What it's trying to say is:
You're tying to index this variable, which is actually a number value, so you can't do that
So, lets look at how you are saving this:
local items = (plr.hiddenstats.Energy.Value)
You will notice (plr.hiddenstats.Energy.Value), and you will notice that you are using the wrong kind of brackets.
You should be using {} not ().
Now, their are either two options you could choose to fix this:
Change local items = (plr.hiddenstats.Energy.Value) to local items = {plr.hiddenstats.Energy.Value}
OR
Change Energy.Value = storedvalues[1] to Energy.Value = storedvalues
This is because you are saving it as the datatype of a number and in order to use indexing, you need to use the data structure of an array.
I hope this helps.
