I’ve been trying to fix this for hours any help is appreciated.

You should work on cleaning up your code. This will make debugging easier.

I don’t know which line the error occurs on, because I didn’t count the lines. If you can cut out a section of your code that narrows down where the error is being thrown and present that, that would be very helpful.

King:

print("Player data found.")
playerData = httpService:JSONDecode(tostring(dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."GameData")))
print("Data found. Data is: "..playerData)
xp.Value = playerData['XP']

But is the last line in the snippet I quoted where the error occurs? And do you have anything else in the output before the error?

King_GamingRobloxYT · July 3, 2023, 9:42pm

That’s where one error occurs and another one occurs at the end where it saves.

King_GamingRobloxYT · July 3, 2023, 9:44pm

THis line in particular.

is the full line.

Is this the line where the “attempt to index nil with ‘XP’” error is being thrown? If not, what error is being outputted?
And does aBigDataTable[plr][v.Name] exist? Because if it’s not already a table, you’re probably going to get an error that says something like “table expected, got nil.”

King_GamingRobloxYT · July 3, 2023, 9:52pm

Yes, that is the line where it happens. and it does exist. I have local aBigDataTable = {} at the start and when the player joins I have it set the items in the table.

King_GamingRobloxYT:

print("Player data found.")
playerData = httpService:JSONDecode(tostring(dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."GameData")))
print("Data found. Data is: "..playerData)
xp.Value = playerData['XP']

OK. If the same error is being thrown here, playerData is nil, maybe because the player does not have any saved data. So, you should make sure that playerData is not nil before you try to use its members.
Also, it’s not necessary for you to JSONEncode() your data, because Roblox already does this for you.

I believe the error is also being thrown here because aBigDataTable[plr] is nil. The reason I am saying this is because you’re setting aBigDataTable[plr] after the error in the Players.PlayerAdded event, and the rest of that thread does not get executed because of the error, so the array never really gets set.

King_GamingRobloxYT · July 4, 2023, 12:26am

So would I do this for the code?

aBigDataTable[plr.Name] =  httpService:JSONDecode(dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."GameData"))

You need to wrap DataStore:GetAsync() inside a pcall() to avoid errors that may be thrown because of that function, then make sure that the data retrieved is not nil and use it. If it is nil, which would be the result of GetAsync() failing or the player being new to the game, you can set the ValueBase objects to default values.

-- If success is false, result will be the error message.
-- If success is true, result will be the data of the player, which could be nil.
local success, result = pcall(dataStore.GetAsync, dataStore, player.UserId)

Then, you can set aBigDataTable[plr.Name] to result, or you can create a new data table that holds the default values if result is nil.
