Greetings everyone and a happy new year. I got this database script and I get an error saying: Attempting to index number with servername (which is my value). This would happen with all the values that are listed. The value doesn’t go to the specified folder and instead, it shows me that error. Please help! (I attached a screenshot with my code down below. Thanks!
You can’t parent an object to a data store can you?
I don’t really know since I am a beginner… Then how am I supposed to store words?
There seems to be a confusion between the variables servercreator (a folder) and ServerCreator (a DataStore object). I’m assuming you want to parent the ValueBases to the folder, so change their parent from ServerCreator to servercreator then try.

Do ServerCreator:SetAsync(key, value) - the key is what you look up, and the value is the value attached to that key. For example if you were storing cash the key could be the player’s name and the value would be the amount of cash.
edit:wrong reply sorry
Same error but this time it created the values in the folder that I specified.
You’ll need a table of default data instead of or 0 on line 32. Because ServerCreator:GetAsync(Plr.UserId) is nil, it defaults to 0. Then, on line 36 it’s trying to do PotentialData (0) .servername.
Example:
local defaults = {
servername = "Server name",
gamemode = "Gamemode",
difficulty = "Easy",
code = 1337,
host = nil,
}
Then on line 32 change it to:
PotentialData = ServerCreator:GetAsync(Plr.UserId) or defaults

Good news, I deleted the
or 0
and no errors pop up. I don’t have some values to add just yet, but I am gonna work on it right after now. I want to thank you a lot for the help, I really wouldn’t realize it by myself, and if it’s possible to stay in contact in case I get any errors regarding this topic would be very helpful and greatly appreciated!
Of course, if you have any questions feel free to DM me on the DevForum.
