Yo guys i was making this script and for some reason im getting an error that in pairs(data) is coming as nil can somebody help me?

	local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
	local MyDataStore = DS:GetDataStore('Infomation')

--this is the folder that contains all the players' value instances
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local dataFolder = player:WaitForChild("CivCars")

--grab data from datastore. (if it doesn't exist then give them the default data folder)
local success,data = pcall(function()
		return MyDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
end)

	--loop through the players value instances and apply values that you grabbed from datastore.
	print(data)
local values = dataFolder:GetChildren()
	for i, v in pairs(data) do
		
	local valueInstance = values:WaitForChild(i)
	valueInstance.Value = v
	end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local dataFolder = player:WaitForChild("CivCars")

local values = dataFolder:GetChildren()

-- a dictionary that will store all the values
local dictionary = {}

--prepare the dictionary
for i = 1, #values do
	dictionary[values[i].Name] = values[i].Value
end
print(dictionary)

--save the dictionary
local success = pcall(function()
		MyDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId)
end)

--if player LEFT the game then dispose of their folder
	dataFolder:Destroy()
	end)

You’re did not include the table “dictionary” inside the :SetAsync.
Try this:

MyDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, dictionary)

If there is no value in the datastore, it will return
nil.
It is necessary to check for nil.

if not data then
     --Set default values
end
