You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
-
What do you want to achieve? I am making a
DataStoreScriptthat, obviously, saves your data, but I’m having issues with it. -
What is the issue?
Attempt to index nil with 'Value', apparently. -
What solutions have you tried so far? I’ve looked on the dev forum but nothing answered my question, nor helped.

Help will be much appreciated.
(If the script looks familiar or something, I used a tutorial)
