Hello,
I keep getting “attempt to index nil with number” on the following code.
I have tried to figure out the issue myself but I haven’t found the problem.
Here is the code:

local datastoreservice = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local bandata = datastoreservice:GetDataStore("Bans")

local data = bandata:GetAsync(Players[player].UserId)
			
			if data[1] == Players[player].UserId then -- the error line I get for attempt to index nil with number
				if os.time() >= data[2] then -- when the player is still banned
					print("player is not banned")
				elseif data[2] == "." then -- when the player has been unbanned the data[2] is set to "." instead of removing the player from datastore
					print("player is not banned")
				else
					print("player is banned")
				end
			end

I think players[player] is nil if player isn’t a variable

The “player” is a textbox

CheckBan.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(myplayerhere, player)
end)

The data might be nil print the data and put an if statement

Yep it is. Do you know how to fix it?

You need to check how your saving your data since its nil it means nothing is being saved. If you need further help show the part of the code that saves the data.
