Local data tables gives nil?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, the issue is simple, i tried doing a datastore script using table with character values, but using print, it always return the data as nil

I already tried: Using attributes, waitforchild in both character and values, using folders and without folders, using instance.new().

local datasservice = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local datastore1 = datasservice:GetDataStore("datastore1")

--
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local playerkey = "player:".. player.UserId
	local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local data = {
		atk = char.stats.atk;
		def =  char.stats.def;
		dex =  char.stats.dex;
		mana =  char.stats.mana;
		manamax = char.stats.manamax;
		vit =  char.stats.vit;
		wis =  char.stats.wis;
	}
	--
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		datastore1:SetAsync(playerkey, data)
	end)
	if success then
		print(player.Name.. "'s data successfully saved")
	else
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end)
--
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local playerkey = "player:".. player.UserId
	local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	--
	local success, errormessage, data = pcall(function()
		return datastore1:GetAsync(playerkey)
	end)
	print('typeofchar:'.. typeof(char))
	print(data)
	if success then
		char.stats.atk = data.atk
		char.stats.def = data.def
		char.stats.dex = data.dex
		char.stats.mana = data.mana
		char.stats.manamax = data.manamax
		char.stats.vit = data.vit
		char.stats.wis = data.wis
		char.Humanoid.Health = data.health
		char.Humanoid.MaxHealth = data.healthmax
		print("data successfully loaded")
	else
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end)

Here is the error:

there is the folder:

and here is nil: (print(data))

It is stored in the Character, which is the first to be removed.

Store the player data in ReplicatedStorage, that would overcome any issues related the player leaving.

#3

This is how I store my data

Each player has folder in PlayerData, which is a folder in ReplicatedStorage. Then the player’s folder has the stats.

Hey, thanks, but even while using ReplicatedStorage to store values, it does the same error

If I am right this is caused by the server closing.
