I am currently in the process of setting up a compact feedback system where you can send a message to the developers via DataStore. However, when retrieving the messages (table), no table is found, although it was saved as such.
Here is an excerpt from the currently still complete datastore:
And here is the code that is triggered after the player is joined:
-- Load unreaded feedback
function loadDataStore(player)
if player then
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
-- data_key = "reports" (see image)
load_list = data_get:GetAsync(data_key)
end)
if success and load_list then
task.wait()
for a,b in pairs(load_list) do
if type(a) == "table" then
if a == tostring("uid-"..player.UserId) then
loadEvent:FireClient(player,b)
loadDataStore2(player)
-- load second kind of feedback (not the problem here)
end
else
warn("Error (Code 4): Table not found")
end
end
end
if not success then
warn("Error (Code 2): "..errorMessage)
end
end
end
The weird thing is that it had worked before without me changing anything.
I know, otherwise I would have included it, but the thing is, I don’t get an error or anything else. The only thing I get is warn("Error (Code 4): Table not found")
Ok, I see what’s wrong in your script, you just made a small error in the for loop.
a is the key of one of the item of the reports dictionary and b is the value of the key a.
To make it simpler :
print(a) -- "uid-631470404"
print(reports[a]) -- same value as b (which is {id=631470404,message="dies in ein test",time="December 1, 2023})
As you see, a was always a string, so it was never a table and this is why there is an error.
You just need to replace a by b in the “if” condition like that:
if type(b) == "table" then
I hope you understand, if not, don’t hesitate to tell me…
EDIT : To make sure you understand, here is a thing that you need to know:
As I said earlier :
print(a) -- "uid-631470404"
print(reports[a]) -- same value as b (which is {id=631470404,message="dies in ein test",time="December 1, 2023})
--But also :
print(reports[a]["id"]) -- 631470404 (don't forget the quotes)
lol my mistake. yeah a is the key and b is the value, but i thought you could only get it via the key. But thanks, learned something again and maybe for the others here too.
