How to make a check with the ability to skip it if there is no such element?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello everybody!
I have a script that saves the purchase, but the BoolValue that should be saved does not appear immediately (it will appear after purchasing the location), how to make the storage script check if it is this BoolValue, and in case it does not just wait until the player should I go out and check if this is BoolValue?

local datastoreservice = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local datastore = datastoreservice:GetDataStore("DataStoreLocationTable")



game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

	local OwnedZones = Instance.new("Folder")
	OwnedZones.Parent = player
	OwnedZones.Name = "OwnedZones"
	
   
	local Sandy = player.LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild("OwnedZones"):WaitForChild("Sandy") --BoolValue
	
	local tableOfData
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		tableOfData = datastore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
	end)
	if success and tableOfData then -- we know that it is a returning player whom already played this game before
		for key, value in pairs(tableOfData) do
			print(key)
			print(value)
			Sandy.Value = tableOfData["Sandy"]
		end
	end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local tableOfData = {
		["Sandy"] = player.OwnedZones.Sandy.Value
	}

	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		datastore:SetAsync(player.UserId, tableOfData)
	end)
end)

You can do

local Sandy = OwnedZones:WaitForChild("Sandy")
#3

Is that local script? [Char limit]

#4

No,it’s script in ServerScript

#5

You can’t get LocalPlayer in Server script

#6

This will work

local datastoreservice = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local datastore = datastoreservice:GetDataStore("DataStoreLocationTable")



game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

	local OwnedZones = Instance.new("Folder")
	OwnedZones.Parent = player
	OwnedZones.Name = "OwnedZones"
	
   
	local Sandy = OwnedZones:WaitForChild("Sandy")
	
	local tableOfData
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		tableOfData = datastore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
	end)
	if success and tableOfData then -- we know that it is a returning player whom already played this game before
		for key, value in pairs(tableOfData) do
			print(key)
			print(value)
			Sandy.Value = tableOfData["Sandy"]
		end
	end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local tableOfData = {
		["Sandy"] = player.OwnedZones.Sandy.Value
	}

	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		datastore:SetAsync(player.UserId, tableOfData)
	end)
end)

It’s not working, I probably need to rework a lot in the save script to make it work

Is Sandy is valid?
[char limitt]]

#9

That error mean can’t find Sandy.
