Datastore not working?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I use this script in my intro to test whether the player has picked their gender or not, so far on my account there has been no issues but for other players this part doesnt work/load?

script.Parent.RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = function(plr)
local datastore = DataStore2("Gender",plr)
repeat wait(0.3) until datastore:Get() ~= nil
local gender = datastore:Get()

return gender
end

I added the repeat wait to see if its just returning nil for awhile but its just not seeming to load?

#2

Can you show the code for your functions? Maybe they have errors.

#3

You should try putting the functions inside a coroutine, the wait is on server so it will wait for everyone, if you put it inside a coroutine, it will run the function everytime for different players:

script.Parent.RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = function(plr)
	coroutine.wrap(function()
		local datastore = DataStore2("Gender",plr)
		repeat wait(0.3) until datastore:Get() ~= nil
		local gender = datastore:Get()

		return gender
	end)
end
#4

I tried this but it still isn’t knowing the correct value, im wondering if because its also loading the datastore as stats inside the player if thats interfering? but why isn’t it doing it on my account?

when i say isn’t knowing the correct value, its cuz in a client script

play.Frame.Title.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	if played == false then
	played = true
	local Gender = script.Parent.RemoteFunction:InvokeServer(player)
	print(Gender)
	if Gender == "NoGender" then
		customcam = true
		MoveCamera(game.Workspace.Cameras.CameraPart, game.Workspace.Cameras.GenderCam, 0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
		frames.Settings.Visible = false
		frames.Credits.Visible = false
		script.Parent.GenderFrame.Frame.Visible = true
		folder.Rig.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(folder.Rig.HumanoidRootPart.Position, Vector3.new(game.Workspace.Cameras.GenderCam.Position.X,game.Workspace.Cameras.GenderCam.Position.Y,game.Workspace.Cameras.GenderCam.Position.Z))
	else

but its always doing else even tho the player has “NoGender”

#5

the Gender might be nil, did you try checking if Gender is not nil before processing?

#6

shouldnt this stop it from being nil?

#7

Check the nil on server it’s not nil and also does it print nil?

#8

it wasnt before, because it was working on me, nogender and gender, but other players it just was not loading, so it didnt get to come back as anything?
