attempt to compare nil with number

📍 Context​

Occurs when a variable is nil but you try to compare it with a number using >, <, >=, <=. Often happens when player data is missing or uninitialized.

✅ Solution​

  • Ensure the variable is initialized before comparison: if myValue ~= nil and myValue > 0 then ... end
  • Validate data from database queries or callbacks before using it.

ℹ️ Additional Information​

  • Wrap all numeric operations with nil checks to prevent runtime errors.
