``` why isnt my datastore working i have been at this for 5 hours

ServerScriptService.Script:5: attempt to index nil with 'PlayerGui' - Server - Script:5

thats the error im getting

im struggling hard

[teal island]

playergui is nil

local Player = game.Players.PlayerAdded:Wait()

u can do game.Players.LocalPlayer only in local scripts

[little pendant]

Oh

How would I access it in a script not a local script

[teal island]

local Player = game.Players.PlayerAdded:Wait()
