Line 82 error, causing datastore failure

[Rhodizites]

I am making a bee swarm simulator fan-game, but every time i convert pollen to honey, the datastore mentions an error on line 82. it will not save.
code:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DatastoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local database = DatastoreService:GetDataStore("data9")
local sessionData = {}

function PlayerAdded(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	local honey = Instance.new("IntValue")
	honey.Name = "Honey"
	honey.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local pollen = Instance.new("IntValue")
	pollen.Name = "Pollen"
	pollen.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local digrate = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	digrate.Name = "Dig Rate"
	digrate.Parent = player

	digspeed.Parent = player

		attempt += 1

			warn(playerData)

Can you post what the error is?

Thanks. That’s probably because you’re indexing playerData with player.UserId even though that key doesn’t exist in the table you defined. You defined playerData as

playerData = {
    ["Honey"] = 0,
    ["DigRate"] = 0.1,
    ["DigSpeed"] = 4,
    ["WPolMul"] = 1,
    ["RPolMul"] = 1,
    ["BPolMul"] = 1,
    ["Hive"] = {"Basic Bee"},
    ["Bees"] = 1
}

You should be doing playerData.Honey = honey.Value instead of playerData[player.UserId].Honey = honey.Value, and that would apply for all the other values in your table as well.

i see.
i did infact use the gnomecode datastore tutorial.

[Rhodizites]

another problem…
now it wont save!

[Uhsleep91]

In PlayerLeaving, you’re looking for the player’s data in sessionData. You never set that in PlayerAdded so it will never save anything.

[Rhodizites]

that was supposed to be where it was set.
how can i set it?

[Uhsleep91]

Is this the tutorial you were following? https://youtu.be/H-cDbjd5-bs?si=ylHzdlbHn6rbfp9S&t=659

In PlayerAdded, he writes sessionData[player.UserId] = playerData after the data successfully loads. You forgot to include it in your script.

Edit: In fact, after watching that video I see where your original mistake was. Instead of doing playerData[player.UserId], you should’ve been doing sessionData[player.UserId].

[Rhodizites]

it was.
im gonna do that.
thanks

new line 77 error.
attempt to index nil with name.
table.insert(playerData.Hive, newbie.Value.Name)
edit: nevermind. thats just an error.
it doesnt mean anything.
it still works

[Uhsleep91]

You’re explicitly setting newbie.Value to nil

local newbie = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
newbie.Name = "New Bie"
newbie.Value = nil
newbie.Parent = player

So it makes sense you’re getting that error. You can’t access the Name property on a nil value. I believe what you were intending to do is newbie.Name instead of newbie.Value.Name

[Rhodizites]

we dont really care about the error anymore, it means nothing.
that is intended, because we can get a thousand basic bees, but if we dont do that, we can only get 1.
