So while adding a new Stat to my Data Table i was receiving an error on the output:
And i had no clue how to fix this till i changed my Key to something else, then the script recognized the new Stat and worked.
The problem is, i don’t want to change my Key whenever i have to add a new Stat to it for obvious reasons.
So here is how my scripts are Working.
First we have the DataStore script, it creates the stats where everything we’ll be stored normally:
And then we have the Part.Touched script which is the one having issues to recognize new Stats (Unless if i change the Data Key).
local DataStore2 = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService").DataStore2)
local checkerFlag = script.Parent.CheckerFlag
local winnerPart = script.Parent.WinnerPart
local secondPart = script.Parent.SecondPart
local thirdPart = script.Parent.ThirdPart
local fourPart = script.Parent.FourPart
local fivePart = script.Parent.FivePart
local sixPart = script.Parent.SixPart
local sevenPart = script.Parent.SevenPart
local eightPart = script.Parent.EightPart
local ninePart = script.Parent.NinePart
local tenPart = script.Parent.TenPart
local elevenPart = script.Parent.ElevenPart
local twelvePart = script.Parent.TwelvePart
script.Parent.Parent:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Parent"):Connect(function()
if script.Parent.Parent.Parent == game.Workspace then
game.Workspace.GameScripts.Main["Chosen Map"].Value = script.Parent.Parent.Name
end
end)
local ingameQuantity = #game.Workspace.Ingame:GetChildren()
print("Number of players in this match is: ".. ingameQuantity)
winnerPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local vals = game.ReplicatedStorage.vals
local Part = secondPart
local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local BaseXP = 17
local BaseRushies = 15
local GainXP = BaseXP * ingameQuantity
local GainRushies = BaseRushies * ingameQuantity
if (h~=nil) then
if vals.Winner.Value == "" and hit.Parent.Name ~= vals.Winner.Value and vals.Two.Value and vals.Three.Value and vals.Four.Value and vals.Five.Value and vals.Six.Value and vals.Seven.Value and vals.Eight.Value and vals.Nine.Value and vals.Ten.Value and vals.Eleven.Value and vals.Twelve.Value then
game.ReplicatedStorage.vals.Winner.Value = hit.Parent.Name
local plr = game.Players[vals.Winner.Value]
local plrChar = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
local plrID = plrChar.UserId
local plrStats = DataStore2("Stats", plrChar):GetAsync()
plrStats.AllExp = plrStats.AllExp + GainXP
plrStats.Gold = plrStats.Gold + 1
plrStats.Exp = plrStats.Exp + GainXP
plrStats.Rushies = plrStats.Rushies + GainRushies
plrStats.TestData = plrStats.TestData + 1 -- THIS IS WHERE IT BREAKS
local plrStats = DataStore2("Stats", plrChar):GetAsync()
DataStore2("Stats", plrChar):Set(plrStats)
What is the best way to avoid these things or how to do it?
Im slightly confused by your question can you explain your problem a bit better? The error you are getting is because you are attempting to add to a nil number. Check to make sure then things you are adding are actually not nil.
The value that is being called “nil” by the script actually exists, but it doesn’t recognize it unless i change the Data Key to something else
Example:
I created this DataTest “Stat” after the Part.Touched script was already set, so it somehow doesn’t detect the Stat Value and return nil, but if i changed this:
To Test4, Test5, or anything else, it will recognize the Stat and stop returning nil
My entire DataStore script:
local DataStore2 = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService").DataStore2) -- Require the DataStore Module using the name
local MainKey = "Test3"
DataStore2.Combine(MainKey, "Stats")
local function CreateDataTable()
local PlayerData = {
Stats = {
["Gold"] = 0;
["Silver"] = 0;
["Bronze"] = 0;
["Rushies"] = 0;
["Level"] = 1;
["Exp"] = 0;
["MaxExp"] = 100;
["ExtraExp"] = 0;
["AllExp"] = 0;
["TestData"] = 0;
};
}
return PlayerData
end
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) -- WHEN PLAYER JOINS --
local PlayerData = DataStore2(MainKey, plr):GetTable(CreateDataTable()) -- GetPlayersDataTable

local LeaderboardLv = Instance.new("IntValue")
LeaderboardLv.Name = "Lv"
LeaderboardLv.Value = Level.Value
local StatsData = DataStore2("Stats", plr)
local function UpdateAllStats(UpdatedStats)
local StatsTable = DataStore2(MainKey, plr):GetTable(UpdatedStats)["Stats"] -- Sets value you've made to correspond with data table
Gold.Value = StatsTable.Gold

end
UpdateAllStats(PlayerData.Stats) -- Calls the function and updates player data to appropriate values

end
Level.Changed:Connect(UpdateLeaderstats)
Gold.Changed:Connect(UpdateLeaderstats)
Exp:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
local plrStats = DataStore2("Stats", plr):Get()
if plrStats.Exp >= plrStats.MaxExp then
plrStats.ExtraExp = plrStats.Exp - plrStats.MaxExp
plrStats.Rushies = plrStats.Rushies
plrStats.Level = plrStats.Level + 1
plrStats.Exp = plrStats.ExtraExp
plrStats.MaxExp = plrStats.MaxExp + 50
plrStats.ExtraExp = 0
DataStore2("Stats", plr):Set(plrStats)
end
end)
end)
I believe your problem comes with using GetAsync() . GetAsync returns a promise and your not doing anything with it use Get() or set it up properly with roblox-lua-promise | roblox-lua-promise
`
In my data module I make a default data table and compare the index values and ensure there’s nothing missing. I can send you an example of this if you are confused. (On mobile at the moment)
local data = {}
local defaultData = {coins = 0}
local function checkForEmpty()
for i, v in next, defaultData do
if not data[i] then
data[i] = v
end
end
end
checkForEmpty()
Haven’t been able to test this however this should give you an idea.
Whenever i add a new Stat to the image below, it won’t work unless i change the Data Key to something else(Example: TestData), and that’s what i am trying to figure out how to fix:
You are not using GetTable() Pretty sure you should be using that?
local plrStats = DataStore2("Stats", plrChar):GetTable(default_table) -- Default table being the default values of everything
print(plrStats.Stats.new_value) -- Assuming new_value is a new value added to the table.
