Ok so I am remaking an old game of mine and I ran into an error. The part of the script in the error is the main menu and it should play when the player joins.
The code:

if true then
	script.Parent.slowsleigh:Play()
	fadegui({intro.load},{0},{1},30)
	wait(1)
	
	local titles = intro.titles
	local text1 = titles.title1.Text
	local text2 = titles.title2.Text
	local text3 = titles.title3.Text
	local text4 = titles.title4.Text
	if GameData.entered == 1 then
		text1 = "And you came back."
		text2 = "You can't change the past."
		text3 = "Pathetic."
	end
	
	titles.title1.Text = ""
	titles.title2.Text = ""
	titles.title3.Text = ""
	titles.title4.Text = ""
	--[
	titles.title1.Visible = true
	for i = 1, #text1 do
		titles.title1.Text = string.sub(text1,1,i)
		wait(0.05 + math.random(-5,10)/200)
	end
	wait(1)
	titles.title1.strikeout:TweenSize(UDim2.new(1,0,0,3),"Out","Quad",0.5)
	wait(0.5)
	titles:TweenPosition(titles.Position + UDim2.new(0,0,0,-48),"Out","Quad",0.5)
	fadegui({titles.title1},{0},{0.5},15)
	wait(0.5)
	
	titles.title2.Visible = true
	for i = 1, #text2 do
		titles.title2.Text = string.sub(text2,1,i)
		wait(0.05 + math.random(-5,10)/200)
	end

but when I go to playtest it, I get this error

So does anyone know what I can do to fix it?

What exactly is GameData? Apparently GameData is nil

I genially don’t remember the only other part that mentions it is this


local GameData = workspace:WaitForChild("GetData"):InvokeServer()
local SetFunc = workspace:WaitForChild("SetData")
local SetData = function(dat)
	SetFunc:FireServer(dat)
end

if it helps this is the full command output

Are you returning anything in the ServerScript that handles the GetData RemoteFunction?

Also, “if true then” will always be true, so you don’t really need the statement

ServerScriptService has one script called “data” that includes

local data = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetGlobalDataStore()
local dataVersion = 2

local func = Instance.new("RemoteFunction",workspace)
func.Name = "GetData"
function func.OnServerInvoke(player)
	local store = data:GetAsync(tostring(player.UserId))
	return store
end

local set = Instance.new("RemoteEvent",workspace)
set.Name = "SetData"
set.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player,newData)
	local store = data:GetAsync(tostring(player.UserId))
	for i,v in pairs(newData) do
		store[i] = v
	end
	data:SetAsync(player.UserId,store)
end)

Hmm. Is there any function which assigns data to your GlobalDataStore on this or other ServerScirpt? It would look something like this:

data:SetAsync(player.UserId, data)

yep

 local set = Instance.new("RemoteEvent",workspace)
set.Name = "SetData"
set.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player,newData)
	local store = data:GetAsync(tostring(player.UserId))
	for i,v in pairs(newData) do
		store[i] = v
	end
	data:SetAsync(player.UserId,store)
end)

the only difference is it uses “store” instead of “data” for some reason

Edit: nvm I found out why it uses store

function func.OnServerInvoke(player)
	local store = data:GetAsync(tostring(player.UserId))
	return store
end

Ok so I’m still not sure what I’m doing wrong. But I did find something with “entered” in it and I’m thinking this might be why it wont work

SetData({entered = 1})
