Hi, I’ve been trying to fix an issue with my Leveling system data, when it try’s to change the XP to *1.50. i get the error attempt to index a nil 'value'. Is there anything i done wrong?

if xp.Value >= maxXP.Value then --the line of code i get the error on.

Could you replace your xp.Changed Event with this and tell me if you get anything in the output just before the error?

xp.Changed:Connect(function()
    if xp then
        print(xp.Value)
    end
    if maxXP then
        print(maxXP.Value)
    end)
	if xp.Value >= maxXP.Value then
		leveling.Value = leveling.Value+1
		xp.Value = 0
		maxXP.Value = maxXP.Value*1.50
	end
end)

This is the output i get from that.

Keeping codes clean for when the studio i work with hire’s other programmer’s and so it will be easy for them to understand what is what. If you know what i mean?

I have found your issue, You are overwriting the maxXP IntValue with a number in the following code

pcall(function()
	levelingData = dataStores:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-Level")
	xpData = dataStores:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-XP")
	maxXP = dataStores:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-MaxXP")
end)

Replace maxXP with maxXPData and you should be set!
