Oh, umm, i was thinking when if the script had "", you will do: '' and if the script had '', you will do "".

I changed the local script to what you said and there’s no error but the leaderstats still aren’t loading

Basically WaitForChild does something similar to this

function Instance:WaitForChild(childString, optionalTime)
       local startTime = DateTime.now().UnixTimestamp
       local child = self:FindFirstChild(childString)
       --
       while child == nil and (typeof(optionalTime) ~= "number" or (DateTime.now().UnixTimestamp - startTime) < optionalTime) do
            child = self:FindFirstChild(childString)
       end
       --
       return child
end)

Where did you create the leaderstats? In the local or server script

#26

server script in the setupPlayer function

#27

Hmm, I see, we can fix that easily, however. I highly recommend you to switch up your datastore script, and use ProfileService, search it up on DevForum, it is easy to learn and should be used almost always

I understand what you mean, and you are correct, i thought u meant another thing

If you ever wish to make a string with quotes, just do [[]]

#29

ive heard of that, i’m still confused tho. i followed this tutorial as im not to advanced with scripting yet: Saving Player Data with Data Stores! Roblox Studio Simulator Guide Episode 2 - YouTube

Because it will make your code much more readable and will do things that you are already trying to do, like autosaving.

I highly suggest you to do so not because your script can be fixed but because in my personal experience I used to waste a lot of time in datastores scripts until i found profileservice

i have looked, however its not loading or saving data, its the fact that the leaderstats have been quote on quote “Deleted”.

#41

im also trying to keep the same code and not use any others like datastore2 or profile

#42

If you give up, in 3 months you will have the same scripting knowledge as right now, and maybe you would have wished not to give up

Try:

  • Printing before the error, what is leaderstats? What is …?

  • Rewrite your code?

Try things, but don’t give up, you will sooner or later find the error
