Right now im trying to save most of a parts property but I am getting an error with Cannot store Dictionary in data store, why? I don’t know maybe I’m missing something in the table that makes it non saveable. Ive tried on other posts to see if i were missing something but I should be able to store values, strings, numbers right?

I don’t think you can store arrays in one key:

 ["Color"] = 0.639216, 0.635294, 0.647059,

You might have to do this:

 ["Color"] = {0.639216, 0.635294, 0.647059}

Okay thanks I’ll try it out in a moment.

#4

You need to bracket-up the variables that utilize more than 1 space

[“Size”] = 4, 1, 2, incorrect

[“Size”] = {4, 1, 2}, correct

If you still get an error after doing these changes let us know,

Looks like im still getting an error

dont set values in a table like this:

when you set values it’ll auto populate the first value into pos 1:

#7

You can’t store userdata’s in data stores. You may want to look into serialization (e.g converting a color3 into a table of R, G, and B).

I Finally got them converted right thank you, and it saves and loads the table.
