Making a datastore for this game
and i came across an error that i’d never gotten before, i’ve searched already for a solution, but have not found an answer, so i come here with my hopes up
the error i receive is the following: invalid argument #3 (string expected, got nil)
the error occurs on line 155, and is referenced with a comment right after the line
code:
