"gun1string is not a valid member of Folder?"
Hi, when I leave the game, it says that my String is not a valid member of a folder. It's used for a datastore.
Here is all related code.
local gun1 = DataStore:GetDataStore("gun1")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local parent = Instance.new("Folder")
parent.Name = "PlayerGuns"
parent.Parent = player
local gun1string = Instance.new("StringValue")
gun1string.Name = "Gun1"
gun1string.Value = gun1:GetAsync(player.userId) or "startergun1"
gun1string.Parent = parent
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
gun1:SetAsync(player.userId, player.PlayerGuns.gun1string.Value)
end)

Line 1 made the problems. You must change the DataStore to :GetService("DataStore"). This is because DataStore is a service. It is a top-level singleton which can be retrieved using the GetService function. Also, make a 'game' start.
Line 1 correct code :
local gun1 = game.GetService("DataStore"):GetDataStore("gun1")
Line 3,4 make problems too. You might change that Instance.new("Folder") You need to make it line by line.
Line 3 correct code :
local parent = Instance.new("Folder")
Parent.Name = "PlayerGuns"
Parent.Parent = player
Line 4 and line 6 is messy! You can make it line by line too!
Here is the full script :
local gun1 = game.GetService("DataStore"):GetDataStore("gun1")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local parent = Instance.new("Folder")
Parent.Name = "PlayerGuns"
Parent.Parent = player
local gun1string = Instance.new("StringValue")
gun1string.Name = "Gun1"
gun1string.Value = gun1:GetAsync(player.userId)or "startergun1" gun1string.Parent = parent
end)
Delete last 3 lines because the function of PlayerRemoving that when you leave will cost errors.
Hope I helped, have a nice day. Happy coding ;D
