Attempt to concatenate Instance with string

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    Be able to get data from a specific key
    Also see that this is instance with string, not a string with instance.

  2. What is the issue?

for i ,v in ipairs(datastore:GetAsync(player.."Values")) do

This line the error is on this line, and there are ends obviously.

  1. What solutions have you tried so far?
    There weren’t topics on this so I decided to open one. I’m not sure what to try however.

datastore:SetAsync(key.."Values",PlayerInfo)

This is how I’ve saved it, are you sure it will work?

oh wait. is the key the user id?

Yeah, I’ve put those dots to make a prefix so it still saves on the User’s id. Is there any chance it interferes with my variables?

try this

for i ,v in ipairs(datastore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."Values")) do

Just so you know it’s a function

local function load(player: Player)
	local key = player.UserId
	local success, err
	local data

	repeat
		success, err = pcall(function()
			data = datastore:GetAsync(key)
		end)
	until success or not players:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
	if not data then return end
	if success then
		for i, obj in ipairs(data) do
			for i ,v in ipairs(datastore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."Values")) do
				print(v[1])
				local newPart = Instance.new("Part")
				newPart.Name = obj[1]
				newPart.Size = Vector3.new(obj[2],obj[3],obj[4])
				newPart.Parent = workspace.BaseInfo.Base1
				newPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(obj[5],obj[6],obj[7])
			end

		end
	else
		print("fail", err)
	end
	script.Parent.Parent.SurfaceGui.Status.Text = "Claimed by:"..player.Name
	player.HasBase.Value = true
	player.LastBase.Value = 1
end

the entire script please I cant do much

#11 
local DataStoreS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local datastore = DataStoreS:GetDataStore("TestSave1")
local players = game:GetService("Players")

local function load(player: Player)
	local key = player.UserId
	local success, err
	local data

	repeat
		success, err = pcall(function()
			data = datastore:GetAsync(key)
		end)
	until success or not players:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
	if not data then return end
	if success then
		for i, obj in ipairs(data) do
			for i ,v in ipairs(datastore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."Values")) do
				print(v[1])
				local newPart = Instance.new("Part")
				newPart.Name = obj[1]
				newPart.Size = Vector3.new(obj[2],obj[3],obj[4])
				newPart.Parent = workspace.BaseInfo.Base1
				newPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(obj[5],obj[6],obj[7])
			end

		end
	else
		print("fail", err)
	end
	script.Parent.Parent.SurfaceGui.Status.Text = "Claimed by:"..player.Name
	player.HasBase.Value = true
	player.LastBase.Value = 1
end

script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(load)

Why are you looping… Do you know anything about datastores?

Please read
Data Stores | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub.

#13

Well I saw a tutorial on data stores on youtube, I copied a few stuff from there, however, I’ve read datastore many times in the past. Im not sure how to get my parts to spawn in any other way.

#14

Nvm, it was from a print line, however, I am still not sure what are the other ways to save and load arrays.

#15

Can you send the code on how youre saving the data? The error that you named the post with means you tried to do something like this:
local string = workspace.Part.."hi"
