Make sure to accept this answer if it solved your problem!
Question
Why is the code no saving or loading is working right?
Problem
In your pcall statement you define a new function. Inside that function you define a new variable savedData. The local keyword creates a variable in the current scope. You're currently creating the variable inside the scope of the anonymous function you passed to pcall.
Solution
Simply remove the local from the savedData declaration inside the pcall.
Example Code
1 | local savedData = nil |
2 |
3 | pcall(function() |
4 | savedData = DataStore:GetAsync(ID) |
5 | end) |
