not saving properly/breaking my game

[dense hare]

so i found the script that causes the problem and i found 2 versions of it
1 where it works but breaks my game
2 where it doesnt save but doesnt break my game
theres also 3 other scripts that are related to it

main script that im talking about

its a module script

this is the script that loads the data

this is a module script that does that so if the player doesnt have any leaderstats/playerdata it gives them it but also the datastore in that doesnt save

the 2nd one has ai in it since i tried getting help from roblox assistant

whats wrong with it

[dense hare]

so

whenever i save

it saves*

way 1: it saves

but breaks half my game

way 2

it doesnt break

but the game doesnt work

[runic geode]

why do you have 2 different ways of doing the same thing?

pick a lane

[dense hare]

because i want them to work the same

but i cant get it to

between 2 lanes which go left and right but have errors

i wanna go to the 3rd one

and create a middle with no errors

[runic geode]

i meant pick one

[dense hare]

i tried to

but one causes problems with the 2nd one

[runic geode]

yeah if you have 2 things doing the same thing, of course they're going to cause problems for each other

pick one

[dense hare]

not exactly

i want it to save and not break the game

but the only 2 options i have

is either break the game but make succesful saving

or not break the game but not save
