DataStore2 Problem with :Get()

[Vinnie24_YT (Vayri)]

Hi there!
I’m trying to add pets to my game and I need a system that checks if the player can equip a pet and if they can equips it. I hit a wall in my coding.

Problem:

Using DataStore2("Pets", plr):Get({}) in scripts returns and empty table, {}, even if I set it to {“Pet”}

This doesnt occur when I try to :Get() a data store from the console.
Heres my script (part of a module):

local module = {}
local random = math.random
local DS2 = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService").Data.DataStore2)
local Notify = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService").Notifications).Notify
local ExisitingPets = {"Weak Brick", "Rob", "Mechanic", "Bob", "Goat", "Bawb"}
-- Equip Pets --
function canEquipPetAgain(plr: Player, Pet, Pets, EquippedPets)
	print(Pets:Get()) -- This returns {}
	print(EquippedPets:Get())  -- This returns {}
	local MaxEquipablePets = 3
	-- --
	local FoundPetsInventory = 0
	for _, LoopPet in pairs(Pets:Get({})) do
		if LoopPet == Pet then
			FoundPetsInventory += 1
		end
	end
	local FoundPetsEquipped = 0
	for _, LoopPet in pairs(EquippedPets:Get({})) do
		if LoopPet == Pet then
			FoundPetsEquipped += 1
		end
	end
	-- Correcting --
	if FoundPetsEquipped > FoundPetsInventory or #EquippedPets:Get({}) > MaxEquipablePets then
		Notify(plr, "The game noticed an error and corrected it.\nYour pets have been unequipped due to an error.", Color3.new(1, 0, 0))
	end
	-- Returning --
	if FoundPetsEquipped+1 > FoundPetsInventory then
		print(FoundPetsEquipped+1 .. " ".. FoundPetsInventory)
		Notify(plr, "You already equipped this pet.", Color3.new(1, 0, 0))
		return false
	elseif #EquippedPets:Get({})+1 > MaxEquipablePets then
		Notify(plr, "You already equipped " .. #EquippedPets:Get({}) / MaxEquipablePets .. " Pets.", Color3.new(1, 0, 0))
		return false
	elseif FoundPetsEquipped+1 <= FoundPetsInventory then
		return true
	else
		Notify(plr, "Something went wrong. (NRCEPAF)", Color3.new(1, 0, 0))
		return false
	end
end

function module.EquipPet(plr:Player, Pet:string)
	local Pets = DS2("Pets", plr)
	local EquippedPets = DS2("EquippedPets", plr)
	-- --
	--[[if Pets:Get({}) == nil or #Pets:Get({}) == 0 or not table.find(ExisitingPets, Pet) or not table.find(Pets:Get({}), Pet) then
		Notify(plr, "Something went wrong (NPEP)", Color3.new(1, 0, 0))
		return
	end]]
	-- --
	if canEquipPetAgain(plr, Pet, Pets, EquippedPets) == false then
		return
	end
	-- --
	if EquippedPets:Get({}) == nil or #EquippedPets:Get({}) == 0 and ExisitingPets[Pet] then
		EquippedPets:Set({Pet})
		return
	elseif EquippedPets:Get({}) ~= nil and #EquippedPets:Get({}) ~= 0 and ExisitingPets[Pet] then
		local oldTable = EquippedPets:Get({})
		oldTable[#oldTable+1] = Pet
		local newTable = oldTable
		EquippedPets:Set(newTable)
		return
	end
end

Thanks for you help in advance

It could be due to trying to get the data too fast when a player joins.

nah, the player must use a button in a menu at the moment so that cant be it since they have to be loaded in fully to use it
