Getting a nil value from a datastore?
01 | local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService") |
02 | local MainDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("MainDataStore") |
03 |
04 | local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId |
05 |
06 | local MainData |
07 | local success, errormessage = pcall(function() |
08 | MainData = MainDataStore:GetAsync(playerUserId) |
09 | end) |
10 |
11 | if success then |
12 | print("Loaded in successfully") |
13 | print(MainData) |
14 | totalPeopleInfected.Value = MainData["TotalInfected"] |
15 | peopleInfected.Value = MainData["Infected"] |

It does the success part of the if statement but then I get this error
1 | 09:27:11.667 - ServerScriptService.Leaderstats:91: attempt to index nil with 'TotalInfected' |
Any ideas? (This is in a player added function, I only copied the neccessey parts)

On your line "print(MainData)" does it print "nil"? Spjureeedd 385 — 5y

i would assume that it didn't save correctly, because it looks like the loading works fine sheepposu 561 — 5y

Datastore will only work if your game has "Enable Studio Access to API Services" enabled. If you try to use datastore in ROBLOX Studio, that is. Now if you test your script in the ROBLOX Player, then your script should work. That is, unless your script is incorrect (which is doesn't look like it).

I have enabled access to studio API services because if I didn't I would get error 403 Barty200 85 — 5y
