Uhhhh how would I make it do that then.

#22

Since the StringValue cannot be anything but a string (that’s what it returns), then yes, this wouldn’t work as you need to pass a lua table.

You might have to redo some stuff in order to make it work the intended way, unfortunately.

Edit - I suggest having a module for your settings/options.

#23

But then again, why does it work on the other songs but just not this one. On the other songs it doesn’t give a single error when decoding it but with this song it does?

#24

It shouldn’t work on other songs either if they’re also a StringValue.

#25

Well it does for some reason. Idk why.

#26

It should be because the StringValue returns a string.
I can’t explain it better than that as that’s the pure fact of it.

#27

But that still doesn’t explain why all the other songs do work fine.

#28

Hello can you paste the Value of each StringValue from where the song does the error ?

From HttpService | Roblox Creator Documentation

  • If the input string is not a valid JSON object, this function will throw an error.

Maybe the StringValue is in a wrong format

#29

Double-check if the string is correct, I noticed we were talking about decoding instead of encoding.

#30

How would I check if the string is correct?

[{“notes”:{“sectionNotes”:[],“lengthInSteps”:16,“typeOfSection”:0,"mustHitSectio - Pastebin.com

#32

Can’t you just copy the string from another fully-working string?
I don’t have too much experience when it comes to JSON.

#33

that’s exactly what i tried doin just to make sure the song worked. but it just doesn’t work for some reason.

#34

Wrong one. This is the correct one. JSON Error - Pastebin.com

#35

What did you change exactly, in the string that didn’t work compared to the others?

#36

1st I din’t change anything and just changed hte song id’s then went and tested it to test if the song would work but it just dint function. then i changed the beginning part of the string where it says the name to the name of the song and it still doesn’t work.

#37

Here might be why:

#38

Uhhhhh what does that mean…

#39

I just checked and it seems that the actual JSON is invalid.
If you check it through a JSON validator such as JSONLint then it shows an error:

there is nothing wrong with your code.

The error lies here: “song”: “Grassy",” – remove that extra "
