There are quite a lot of errors here. I'll give you a list of each and how to fix them.
- You have to remember to make an actual variable for variables you're giving values too. In this case, you didn't set the value for 'newList' when you were giving it a value (if data was found). The reason you weren't getting an error for that is because the data was returning nil because nothing was being saved in the first place. I'll get into that part later though.
To fix this, you simply need to make the variable first.
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
05 | local success, err = pcall(function() |
06 | NewList = testStore:GetAsync('testData-KB') |
10 | if NewList and type(NewList) == 'table' then else return end |
Also, I would recommend using function based variables for datastores. In yours you used a script wide variable 'TestList' accessible by all the functions. Which can easily cause data errors. So instead, put that variable inside the PlayerAdded function.
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
07 | local success, err = pcall(function() |
08 | NewList = testStore:GetAsync('testData-KB') |
12 | if NewList then else return end |
16 | print('Test Data Found') |
18 | warn('There was an error finding Test Data for '..plr.Name) |
However after looking at the rest of your script, you clearly want it to say that a player has entered the game if their user ID is found. So just include a separate table with the UserID's you want, then go through that with a for loop. Like this
3 | for i, v in pairs(IDs) do |
4 | if plr.UserId == v then |
5 | print(plr.Name..' has joined the game!') |
- When the player leaves the game, you aren't actually saving any data.
You did 'testList:SetAsync' which wouldn't do anything, since testList is a table and not a DataStore. I think what you meant to do is something like this...
1 | game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr) |
2 | local PlayerData = testData:GetAsync('testData-KB') |
4 | if PlayerData and type(PlayerData) == 'table' then |
5 | testData:SetAsync('testData-KB', PlayerData) |
7 | warn('Failed to save data for '..plr.Name) |
What it looks like you're trying to do here is just print something when a certain player joins the game. You don't need datastores to do this. All you need to do is something like this
1 | local SpecialList = {19034023, 23049023, 32949205} |
3 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
4 | for i, v in pairs(SpecialList) do |
5 | if v == plr.UserId then |
6 | print('The special '..plr.Name..' has joined the server!') |
If this doesn't make sense to you, try looking more at DataStores here
