DataStore Error

[Qerzee]

Anybody know why I would be getting this error? When I play my game, I am getting this error but under my player leader stats it has the values in the error.

I need more context can you show the script.

local function setupPlayerData(player)
	
	notificationEvent:FireAllClients(player.DisplayName.." Joined The Server!", Color3.new(1, 0.913725, 0.705882))
	
	local playerUserId = player.UserId

	local data

	local success = pcall(function()
		data = playerData:GetAsync(player.UserId)
	end)
	

	if success then
		if data then

			sessionData[playerUserId] = data



		else

There’s two leaderstats folders being created. The script is likely searching through the one on top.

[Qerzee]

I can’t find where the other folder is being created is there an easy way to find out?

Not entirely sure why this runs twice, we need to see the code that calls setupPlayerData(). Also you don’t handle both failures when accessing the datastore:

	if success then
		if data then
		else
		end
	end

What happens if success==false (i.e. the DataStore is not currently accessible, but the player may or may not have data). If you go ahead and assign new data and then save it the player could lose everything they have, simply because the DataStore was offline and you never checked.
