You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  2. What is the issue? I got a random error, this is something I’ve never encountered so I need help

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Tried googling, nothing, devofurum, nothing

error:

504: Data store request successful, but response not formatted correctly

Code:

function checkIfBanned(player:Player)
	local success
	local errorMessage

	success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		data = banData:GetAsync(player.UserId)
	end)
	
	if success then
		print(data)
		return data
	else
		print("An error occured see below")
		warn(errorMessage)
	end
end

What does player:Player mean? Shouldn’t you just use player for the function?

3

Maybe just call it as a local function instead as a regular function.

4

It still gave the same error as before

5

player:Player means I’m defining the type of data that should be passed in the parameter

6

is there any code above that function, perhaps you have forgotten an end somewhere.

7

I get it but I’m not sure if it’s the same as an ungrouped function?

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player:Player)

	local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		data = banData:GetAsync(player.UserId)
	end)
	
	if success then
		print(data)
		return data
	else
		print("An error occured see below")
		warn(errorMessage)
	end

end)
