I working on a game with a level select the way it works is client asks for its player data dictonary with a Remotefunction from the server then it creates the gui depending on the dictonary of data

The problem is that on the server it sends over a dictonary with 17 elemnts

That look like this 
{
		
	PlayerOnLevel = 0;
	
	["1"] = {ImageId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=8062553122", Unlocked = true, Difficulty = Easy,
		Tip = "Press C or tap the flag icon to put down a checkpoint for the ball and each level got a max"};
	["2"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Easy, 
		Tip = ""};
	["3"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Easy, 
		Tip = ""};
	["4"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Easy, 
		Tip = ""};
	["5"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Easy, 
		Tip = ""};
	["6"] = {ImageId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=8062546001", Unlocked = true, Difficulty = Meduim, 
		Tip = ""};
	["7"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Meduim, 
		Tip = ""};
	["8"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Meduim, 
		Tip = ""};
	["9"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Meduim, 
		Tip = ""};
	["10"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Meduim, 
		Tip = ""};
	["11"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Hard, 
		Tip = ""};
	["12"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Hard, 
		Tip = ""};
	["13"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Hard, 
		Tip = ""};
	["14"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Hard, 
		Tip = ""};
	["15"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Hard, 
		Tip = ""};
	["16"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Boss, 
		Tip = ""};
		
	}

but the client gets just the elements 1 and 8 and nothing eles just those two enterys

the thing is that this only happens on mobile and not on pc
and I have no idea what I should do now

any help is highlly appriciated

these function are inside of a module and GetPlayerDataAndSaveToList is set off when a player join and GetPlayerLevels is set off when client invokes the server

Module Code 
function Levels.GetPlayerDataAndSaveToList (Player)
	
	local Easy = "Easy"
	local Meduim = "Meduim"
	local Hard = "Hard"
	local Boss = "Boss"
	
	-- Edit: Removed my comments for stuff in future
	
players
	local NewPlayerData = {
		
		PlayerOnLevel = 0;
		
		["1"] = {ImageId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=8062553122", Unlocked = true, Difficulty = Easy,
		Tip = "Press C or click the flag icon to put down a checkpoint for the ball and each level got a max"};
		["2"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Easy, 
		Tip = ""};
		["3"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Easy, 
			Tip = ""};
		["4"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Easy, 
			Tip = ""};
		["5"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Easy, 
			Tip = ""};
		["6"] = {ImageId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=8062546001", Unlocked = true, Difficulty = Meduim, 
			Tip = ""};
		["7"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Meduim, 
			Tip = ""};
		["8"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Meduim, 
			Tip = ""};
		["9"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Meduim, 
			Tip = ""};
		["10"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Meduim, 
			Tip = ""};
		["11"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Hard, 
			Tip = ""};
		["12"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Hard, 
			Tip = ""};
		["13"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Hard, 
			Tip = ""};
		["14"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Hard, 
			Tip = ""};
		["15"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Hard, 
			Tip = ""};
		["16"] = {ImageId = "", Unlocked = false, Difficulty = Boss, 
			Tip = ""};
		
	}
	
	Levels.SavedPlayerData[Player] = NewPlayerData
end

function Levels.GetPlayerLevels (Player)
	
	return Levels.SavedPlayerData[Player]
end

heres the code of the server

local LevelModule = require(game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Modules"):WaitForChild("LevelModule"))

LevelTeleportEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(LevelModule.SendPlayerToLevel)
GetLevelsFromServer.OnServerInvoke = LevelModule.GetPlayerLevels

the client just invokes the server

local GetLevelsFromServer = script.Parent:WaitForChild("GetLevels")
local PlayerLevelsTable = GetLevelsFromServer:InvokeServer()
#4

Try putting PlayerOnLevel in brackets and quotes

#5 
local LevelModule = require(game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Modules"):WaitForChild("LevelModule"))

LevelTeleportEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(LevelModule.SendPlayerToLevel)
GetLevelsFromServer.OnServerInvoke = LevelModule.["GetPlayerLevels"]

like this? I mean it alredy was doing what the function intended it just wasent the same on the client but I`ll try it

#6

No I said PlayerOnLevel

#7

OH ok I`ll do that just a second

#8

It didnt change anything still just showin 1 and 8 EDIT: nvm it sent over the PlayerOnLevel as well

#9

Send the rest of the module code there is code missing in what you posted before

Also can I see screenshot of the print output

#10

why all those other functions werent used and dont do anything to the player data

and for screenshot of the output I cant cuz it on tablet the bug dosent work on pc even on emulator

#11

GetPlayerLevels returns the return of a function I can’t see the code of

#12

it returns it to the client invoke
Edit: relized what you meant but the SavedPlayerData is just a list inside the module

#13

I see.

Can you screenshot on ipad please. Press power off and volume down or power off and home button

Do print() and expand the results

#14

Oh ya forgot about that gonna do it rn

#15

Also are you sure GetPlayerDataAndSaveToList runs before you send the data to the client?

#16

Absolutelly the player first needs to jump inside a hole to even ask for the dictonary and even if he manages to go in before the save data function it should print out nil

#17

Hmm.

Just in case there is a race condition do

OnServerInvoke:Connect(function(player)

    if list[player] ~= nil then
       return list[player]
    else
       return GetPlayerDataAndSaveToList
    end

end)

Also when the screenshot coming in

also I’m on phone, writing that code was tedious. Don’t make me write anymore code on phone

#18

it`s comin and sorry for making you write the code
