this datastore saves data through a folder but for some reason it errors “invalid arguement to pairs table expected got nil”

Brother this is impossible to read, please format it in

code blocks

so we can read it!

#3

local values = ds:GetAsync("some") could have not contained any data, in which case it would return nil, which would be an error when passed to pairs

#4

You’re only assuming that it’ll return back a table but as a result it could return back nil if nothing has been found & you aren’t encasing it inside a pcall which would result in a lot more errors

#5

how can i fix this to make it basically continue

#6 
local Data
local success, whoops = pcall(function()
    Data = ds:GetAsync("some")
end)

print(Data)

if success and Data then
   --Do all your loops and stuff here
else
    warn(whoops)
end
