Greetings,
I am making a party system for my game and I am saving the player’s party name, game mode, and difficulty that they choose to play. While saving the host’s and server’s name I got this error. (Both of these values are object values.)
The code that has the problem:
player.ServerCreator.Host.Value = player.Name
The error:
Please help, I really don’t know what I have mistaken.
Are you storing the player.Name in a StringValue or an ObjectValue? Check the ClassName of that Value.
My mistake, I said that they are string values, but they are actually object values.
Host is an ObjectValue not a StringValue, therefore it only accepts object values not strings. I assume you wanted to set the value to player?
player.ServerCreator.Host.Value = player
Yea I want that value to have the player’s name
player.ServerCreator.Host.Name = player.Name
PS: If you want Host.Value to have the player’s name instead of the player instance you will have to use string values.
I used string values but I got the same type of errors but it expected something else, brb I am gonna change it and I will send a screenshot.
The error:
The problematic line:
ServerValue.Value = pServer
Where pServer comes from:
local pServer = Server:GetAsync(plr.UserId)or nil
I used nil since I don’t want it to error and I want that value to be empty if the player has never joined.
ServerValue.Value = pServer or "" --if pServer is nil, make the string empty
Alright, I guess that solved it, thanks a bunch. I will have to look more into my code because some stuff doesn’t show up for some reason. By any chance, do you know a good tutorial on how to transfer data between places (or even games if possible)? Thanks again for the help!
Oh yea I found my problem I think. I am using textboxes for players to fill the name and stuff. For some reason, the writing in that text does not transfer to the value? And no errors show up.
Places under the same universe share the same datastores. To access data between games or places that aren’t under the same universe you have to use external datastores using HttpService(and access them on both places/games using the same access keys).
That’s really convenient 
! Thanks again!
