Hi, guys!
This is my new datastore script I’ve been using the past 5 months or so. It works quite well. However, there’s a bit of a problem.Any time I add new data to it, and a Player has an already existing datastore, it’ll default to 0, or false, rather than the set default value. I think it has something to do with my cache. This also occurs for new players too for some reason. I was wondering if there was a way to solve this as it’s a bit of a problem I’ve noticed recently that prevents me from adding new features to the game currently. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
