Using datastore2 in a separate script returns nil?

[arrowman888]

First of all, I’d like to say this is my first time using datastore2 so I’m still trying to figure some things out with it. Anyway on to my problem.

In my main script which I use datastore2 in everything works fine. I am able to use data anyway I want. In my second script I’m trying to get one table that I saved in the first script, but the problem is whenever I use it I get this error

[ServerScriptService.NameTags:44: attempt to index nil with ‘Equipped’
11:17:30.150 - Stack Begin
[11:17:30.150 - Script ‘ServerScriptService.NameTags’, Line 44]
11:17:30.151 - Stack End

I’ve already looked at the documentation again and unless I’m missing something I can’t find my problem, as well as I used this to try to help me-

DataStore2: How to access the datastore in other scripts

local DataStore2 = require(game.ServerScriptService.DataStore2) local MainKey = "MainDataStore" DataStore2.Combine("MainDataStore", "Stage", "Rebirths", "Cash", "BetaTester", "Time") game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) local stageData = DataStore2("Stage",player) local rebirthsData = DataStore2("Rebirths",player) local cashData = DataStore2("Cash",player) local betaTesterData = DataStore2("BetaTester",player) local timeData = DataStore2("Time",player) local leaderstats = …

Here are the important parts of my main script

local players = game:GetService("Players")

local dataStore2 = require(1936396537)
dataStore2.Combine("MasterKey", "StageStore", "DeathStore", "CoinsStore", "DiamondsStore", "SwordSave", "StagesStore", "NameTags")

local function setUpNameTags()
	local nameTags = {
	["Black"] = {
	["Owned"] = true,
	["Equipped"] = true
	},

	["Rainbow"] = {
	["Owned"] = false,
	["Equipped"] = false
	},
	
	["Gold"] = {
	["Owned"] = false,
	["Equipped"] = false
	},
	
	["White"] = {
	["Owned"] = false,
	["Equipped"] = false
	}
	
	--add as many as you want - arrow
	
	}

return nameTags

end

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	if player then
		print("player.Name")
		
		local stageStore = dataStore2("StageStore", player)
		local deathStore = dataStore2("DeathStore", player)
		local coinsStore = dataStore2("CoinsStore", player)
		local diamondsStore = dataStore2("DiamondsStore", player)
		local OwnedSwords = dataStore2("SwordSave", player):Get(setUpSwords())
		local StagesStore = dataStore2("StagesStore", player)
		local stagesTable = StagesStore:Get(setUpStages())


		local nameTags = dataStore2("NameTags", player)
		local tagsTable = nameTags:Get(setUpNameTags())

--other stuff
      end
end

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

at the moment I don’t use it anywhere else in the script
This is my other script.

local MarketPlaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local datastore2 = require(1936396537)

local nameTag = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("NameTag")
local playerRole = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("playerRole")


local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local tagChange = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("TagChange")

NameTagColors = {
["Black"] = 0, 0, 0,
["White"] = 255, 255, 255,
["Gold"] = 225, 211, 7,
["Rainbow"] = {
	BrickColor.new("Steel blue").Color, 
	BrickColor.new("Bright violet").Color,
	BrickColor.new("Magenta").Color,
    BrickColor.new("Neon orange").Color,
    BrickColor.new("Bright yellow").Color,
    BrickColor.new("Lime green").Color,
    BrickColor.new("Toothpaste").Color
}

}

local owner = "ix_Eclipse"
local staff = {
	"arrowman888",
	"KaylaGoesBoo"	
}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
		
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		local playerTags = datastore2("NameTags", plr)
		
			local NewTag = nameTag:Clone()
			NewTag.TextLabel.Text = plr.Name
			NewTag.Parent = char	
		
		if playerTags["Rainbow"]["Equipped"] == true then -- LINE 44
			while true do
			
			    for i, v in ipairs(NameTagColors["Rainbow"]) do
			
			        ColorChange(v)      
			
			    end
			
			end	
			
		elseif playerTags["Gold"]["Equipped"] == true then
			NewTag.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(NameTagColors["Gold"])	
						
		elseif playerTags["White"]["Equipped"] == true then
			NewTag.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(NameTagColors["White"])			
			
	
		end
		
		if MarketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(plr.UserId, 9020155) and plr.Name ~= owner then
			local NewplayerRole = playerRole:Clone() 
			NewplayerRole.TextLabel.Text = "VIP"
			NewplayerRole.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(225, 211, 7)
			NewplayerRole.Parent = char		
		end
		
		if plr.Name == owner then
			NewTag.TexTLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0,0,0)
			local NewplayerRole = playerRole:Clone() 
			NewplayerRole.TextLabel.Text = "Owner"
			NewplayerRole.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(225, 211, 7)
			NewplayerRole.Parent = char
		end
		
		for i, v in ipairs (staff) do
			if plr.Name == v then
				NewTag.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0,0,0)
				local NewplayerRole = playerRole:Clone() 
				NewplayerRole.TextLabel.Text = "Staff"
				NewplayerRole.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(33, 143, 33)
				NewplayerRole.Parent = char				
			end
		end
	end)
	
end)

I’m thinking I might need to add the dictionary from my main script into my second script? That’s the only thing I can think of, but I feel like that would be a lot of un needed space wasted.

I tried doing this with a different system, but couldn’t figure it out, so I gave up and added it to the main script. I feel like it’s something obvious that I’m missing so if anyone could help me I’d give thanks.
