Maybe that should stay pairs … think ipairs is correct there.
If it’s retrying for each them it might be taking too long.

weird, now it gives me an infinite yield warning for a LOT of my scripts: "Infinite yield possible on ‘Players.GagaGamesOfficial:WaitForChild(“leaderstats”)’:
ya you can’t do that trick if you have other scripts waiting on them directories.
would have to make them then task.wait a bit.
script makes directories and also loads/saves data
alright, ill try right now, but ill have to put the task.wait() the same way as the script?
post the script you have now …
yeah this definitely wouldn’t work, since the game needs to be loaded asap. any other alternatives?
Make your game so it don’t need to be loaded asap … idk. That’s what I do.
I use one that waits 30 seconds for player data then wait 30 more to load pets.
i got a new error for some reason: “21:56:09.272 ServerScriptService.Scripts.StagesData:111: attempt to index number with ‘StageV’ - Server - StagesData:111”
need to see where you are … can you post the script

Jezz, how about no saving for this game?
I yield, you’ll need someone to do this in the studio for real and be able to test it as they go.
Try converting the table to a JSON string before storing it, decode it back into a table when reading the table off the DataStore. Should fix the ValueNotAllowed error.

I was kidding. That tutorial really looks up to date. It has everything anyone would need to know in full. I’ll be doing that today myself. Was hoping to give you a quick fix. I have helped so many of these I have a few dozen saved programs I’ll never use. Tring to avoid more. I should have posted a tutorial right away.

Fixed the issue of the player’s data not loading, but now that opens up 2 brand new shiny issues that are for a completely different topic.
New problems are new questions.
Did you see this thread? same datastore as yours. I made a tested attempt at it.
