Attempt to index nil with 'Data'

[xiiitixxtxxtxxxxiiix (Lua)]

I need help with this error because i cant find any solutions

The tycoon module

function Tycoon.ClaimTycoon(player, tycoon)
	local starterBuild = tycoon.StarterBuild
	
	if tycoon:GetAttribute("Owner") ~= "NoOne" then return end
	
	tycoon:SetAttribute("Owner", player.Name)
	
	local claimedTycoon = Instance.new("StringValue")
	claimedTycoon.Name = "ClaimedTycoon"
	claimedTycoon.Parent = player
	
	Tycoon.LoadTycoon(player, tycoon)
	local profile = Manager.Profiles[player]
	local collectionPad = tycoon.StarterBuild.CollectingPad
	
	while task.wait(1) do
		Manager.adjustTycoonCurrency(player, profile.Data.TycoonData.TycoonCurrency)
	end
	
	collectionPad.PrimaryPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			local playerTouch = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
			
			
			if playerTouch.Name == player.Name then
				if collectDebounce[player] then return end
				collectDebounce[player] = true
				
				profile.Data.leaderstats.Cash += profile.Data.TycoonData.TycoonCurrency
				profile.Data.TycoonData.TycoonCurrency = 0
				
				task.wait(2)
				if collectDebounce[player] then
					collectDebounce[player] = false
				end
			end
		end
	end)
	
	RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
		collectionPad.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = player.Name.." 's tycoon \ncash to collect: \n"..FormatNumberAlt.FormatStandard(profile.Data.TycoonData.TycoonCurrency)
	end)
end

i thought it was the template but it looks fine to me

local Template = {
	Cash = 0,
	TycoonData = {
		OwnedPads = {},
		RatePerSecond = 1,
		TycoonCurrency = 0
	}
}
return Template

local Manager = {}
Manager.Profiles = {}

function Manager.adjustTycoonCurrency(player: Player, amount: number)
	local profile = Manager.Profiles[player]
	if not profile then return end
	
	profile.Data.TycoonData.TycoonCurrency += amount
	print(profile.Data.TycoonData.TycoonCurrency)
end

return Manager

In short and simplified, you are trying to use something that the script doesn’t see/have defined.

Where exactly is this ‘Data’ located? Is it only available to the client or can it also be used by the server?

Moreover (although I assume that this is evident ), have you defined what “Data” is to the server script?

[xiiitixxtxxtxxxxiiix (Lua)]

what.

im using Profile Service ‘Data’ is the only way to use it

nvm still not figured out

[mc7oof (oof)]

What is on line 166?

Can we see that line of code?

And line 37.

[xiiitixxtxxtxxxxiiix (Lua)]

while task.wait(1) do
	Manager.adjustTycoonCurrency(player, profile.Data.TycoonData.TycoonCurrency)
end

[mc7oof (oof)]

Try adding print statements to see what is invalid:

while task.wait(1) do
	
	print("Manager = ", Manager)
	print("Player =", Player)
	print("profile.Data.TycoonData.TycoonCurrency =", profile.Data.TycoonData.TycoonCurrency)
	
	Manager.adjustTycoonCurrency(player, profile.Data.TycoonData.TycoonCurrency)
end

[xiiitixxtxxtxxxxiiix (Lua)]

it still says

ServerScriptService.PlayerData.TycoonModule:161: attempt to index nil with ‘Data’

Manager = ▼ {
[“Profiles”] = {},
[“adjustCash”] = “function”,
[“adjustTycoonCurrency”] = “function”

[mc7oof (oof)]

My guess is that TycoonData does not exists. Try adding these lines:

	print("profile =", profile)
	print("profile.Data =", profile.Data)
	print("profile.Data.TycoonData =", profile.Data.TycoonData)

[xiiitixxtxxtxxxxiiix (Lua)]

it does exist but maybe im doing it wrong

and again here is the template which i originally thought was the problem

local Template = {
	Cash = 0,
	TycoonData = {
		OwnedPads = {},
		RatePerSecond = 1,
		TycoonCurrency = 0
	}
}

return Template

[mc7oof (oof)]

Try checking within the module and make sure you know what it is receiving:

function Manager.adjustTycoonCurrency(player: Player, amount: number)
	
	print("player: Player, amount: number =", player, amount)
	
	local profile = Manager.Profiles[player]
	if not profile then return end

	profile.Data.TycoonData.TycoonCurrency += amount
	print(profile.Data.TycoonData.TycoonCurrency)
end

[xiiitixxtxxtxxxxiiix (Lua)]

now it says the profile is nil

[mc7oof (oof)]

Where do you define profile?

[xiiitixxtxxtxxxxiiix (Lua)]

line 152

local profile = Manager.Profiles[player]

[mc7oof (oof)]

Again, print each item defined on line 152 and make sure they are what you think the are.
