never ran into this issue before…

local Manager = {}

data = {};
client = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.ClientServer
ps = game:GetService("Players")
local framework = require(script.Parent)

function Manager:Add(char)
	local plr = ps:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
	if plr then
	data[plr.UserId] = framework.new()
	else
	data[char] = framework.new()
	end
end

function Manager:Remove(char)
	local plr = ps:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
	if plr then
	data[plr.UserId] = nil
	else
	data[char] = nil
	end
end

function Manager:Retrieve(char)
	local plr = ps:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
	if plr then
	return data[plr.UserId]
	else
	return data[char]
	end
end

function Manager:Init()
	ps.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
		Manager:Add(plr.Character)
	end)

	ps.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
		Manager:Remove(plr.Character)
	end)
end

client.OnServerInvoke = function(plr)
return Manager:Retrieve(plr.Character)
end

return Manager

Could you like show us where the error is occurring? Because they’re a lot of table modifications in your script

In the Add Function. abcdefghijk

char is nil, whatever called Add passed nil to it

Oh my god I’m so dumb, how did I not realise that? Anyway @hamncheese call the add function only after the character is added, like this

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
   local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
   Manager:Add(char)
end)

right as the other dude said char was nil I immediately thought of doing this but you said it before I did it so just take the W lol.

Man mark @1waffle1 as the solution, he figured it out :+1:

:100: I respect it bro. charrrrrrrrr

#9

well i take it back that wasn’t the issue but you got my brain working. It was because I’m using oop to do it, I forgot to put return self in the actual module.

  1. Also there was an error that popped up because the char was nil so you did basically help.
