So I’m unsure if I’m missing something obvious or not, but basically, I have a script that tries to get a datastored variable that’s inside of a folder inside of leaderstats. The problem is, I get a 12:44:40.984 PlayerValues is not a valid member of Player "Players.DDZ_76" - Server - Script:7 error on line 7.
The script that errors out:
game.Players.ChildAdded:Connect(function(new)
local character = new.Character
local LeaderStats = Instance.new("Folder", new)
LeaderStats.Name = "LeaderStats"
local stat = Instance.new("IntValue", LeaderStats)
stat.Name = "Words"
stat.Value = new.LeaderStats.PlayerValues.PreviousWords.Value + math.random(1, 50) --Error
LeaderStats.PlayerStats.PreviousWords.Value = stat.Value
new.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
local words = string.split(message, " ")
stat.Value -= #words
if stat.Value <= 0 then new:Kick() end
end)
local gui = script.TextName:Clone()
local check = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(new.Name)
if check~=nil then
local find = check:FindFirstChild("Head")
if find ~= nil then
gui.Parent = find
gui.Namer.Text = "Words Left: " .. new.LeaderStats.Words.Value
new.LeaderStats.Words.Changed:Connect(function()
gui.Namer.Text = "Words Left: " .. new.LeaderStats.Words.Value
end)
end
end
end)
Script that creates the other folder (PlayerValues folder):
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("SaveMyData")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local data = DataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
if(data) then
for i, v in pairs(data) do
local PlayerValues = Instance.new("Folder")
PlayerValues.Name = "PlayerValues"
PlayerValues.Parent = plr.LeaderStats
local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
Cash.Name = "Cash"
Cash.Value = v["Cash"]
Cash.Parent = PlayerValues
local TotalWords = Instance.new("IntValue")
TotalWords.Name = "TotalWords"
TotalWords.Value = v["TotalWords"]
TotalWords.Parent = PlayerValues
local PreviousWords = Instance.new("IntValue")
PreviousWords.Name = "PreviousWords"
PreviousWords.Value = v["PreviousWords"]
PreviousWords.Parent = PlayerValues
end
else
local PlayerValues = Instance.new("Folder")
PlayerValues.Name = "PlayerValues"
PlayerValues.Parent = plr.LeaderStats
local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
Cash.Name = "Cash"
Cash.Value = 0
Cash.Parent = PlayerValues
local TotalWords = Instance.new("IntValue")
TotalWords.Name = "TotalWords"
TotalWords.Value = 0
TotalWords.Parent = PlayerValues
local PreviousWords = Instance.new("IntValue")
PreviousWords.Name = "PreviousWords"
PreviousWords.Value = 0
PreviousWords.Parent = PlayerValues
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
local saveddata = {}
saveddata[plr.UserId] = {
Cash = plr.LeaderStats.PlayerValues:FindFirstChild("Cash").Value,
TotalWords = plr.LeaderStats.PlayerValues:FindFirstChild("TotalWords").Value,
PreviousWords = plr.LeaderStats.PlayerValues:FindFirstChild("PreviousWords").Value
}
DataStore:UpdateAsync(plr.UserId, function(oldValue)
return saveddata
end)
end)
