Please use the </> option in the text editor here to post scripts. Myself I will not touch a question made up of pictures.
I use this little part of the code to send the player’s money to a local script for it to show in a shop.
getdata.OnServerInvoke = function(player)
return sessionData[player.UserId].Money
end
This code worked before but now it’s suddenly giving an error!
ServerScriptService.Leaderboard and data save:130: attempt to index nil with 'Money' - Server - Leaderboard and data save:130
If anyone is wondering what sessionData is:
if success then
playerData = { --set default values
["Kills"] = 0,
["Money"] = 100,
["Level"] = 1,
["XP"] = 0,
["ReqXP"] = 15
}
print("Connected to database") --self explanitory
if not playerData then --if nil
print("Asigning default data")
playerData = { --set default values
["Kills"] = 0,
["Money"] = 100,
["Level"] = 1,
["XP"] = 0,
["ReqXP"] = 15
}
end
sessionData[player.UserId] = playerData --set the sessionData to the default values if player has no data
I even tried to set the data back to default thinking theres a problem with that but it still gave me an error.
The script that requires the value “Money” to work looks like this:
local gui = script.Parent.Parent
local exit = gui.Shop.Container.ExitButton
local money = gui.Shop.Container.Currency
local itemsframe = gui.Shop.Container.ScrollingFrame
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local getdatafunc = rs:WaitForChild("GetData") --get data from datastore with remote function
local playerdata = getdatafunc:InvokeServer() --get the data
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local Currency = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Money")
money.Text = Currency.Value .."$"
function updatemoney()
money.Text = Currency.Value .."$"
end
local function toggleshop() --close shop when Close is clicked
gui.Shop.Container.Visible = not gui.Shop.Container.Visible
if gui.Shop.Container.Visible then
playerdata = getdatafunc:InvokeServer()
end
end
Currency:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(updatemoney) --constantly run the shop script
exit.Activated:Connect(toggleshop) --
If anyone has an idea how to fix this I would love to hear your suggestions!
The error says its on the line 130 of the sever scrip. But seems that you are debugging the local script where you expect to get value of Money from the server table.
I think the issue is not on that code you are showing
My bad with the wording. The script which does not work is the 1st one. I just showed the local script so you could have an idea of how it works as it might help some people.
I see, my mistake.
I would suggest debug that server script, check the output, this will surely guide you to the issue:
getdata.OnServerInvoke = function(player)
warn(player)
warn(player.UserId)
warn(sessionData[player.UserId])
warn(sessionData[player.UserId]["Money"])
return sessionData[player.UserId].Money
end
Thanks! It seems sessionData is nil for some reason, I’ll check my code again most likely forgot something simple
Good to hear you found the issue. Try to print the sessionData data:
getdata.OnServerInvoke = function(player)
warn(sessionData)
return sessionData[player.UserId]["Money"]
end
Maybe its only the entry of the player which is not there
It seems the code just DIDNT want to work. After I did a lot of warns everywhere to find out why sessionData is nil, it stopped being nil, probably needs a small wait somewhere. Thanks again.
