uh sure why not
the problem is with StructureDS, PlotsDS is working fine

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	local plots = {}
	local structuretable = {}
	local foundbase = false
	for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace.Plots:GetChildren()) do
		if v.Owner.Value == plr.Name then
			v.Owner.Value = "No Owner"
			for i,g in pairs(v.Structures:GetChildren()) do
				local infotable = {}
				local iteminfotable = itemsmodule.ItemToTable(g)
				table.insert(infotable,iteminfotable)
				table.insert(infotable,v.Middle.Position-g.Parts.PrimaryPart.Position)
				table.insert(infotable,g.Parts.PrimaryPart.CFrame.LookVector)
				table.insert(structuretable,infotable)
				g:Destroy()
			end
			v.Structures:ClearAllChildren()
			for i,b in pairs(v.BaseParts:GetChildren()) do
				if b.Name ~= "BasePart1" then
					table.insert(plots,b.Name)
					b.Parent = game.ServerStorage.BaseExpansions:FindFirstChild(v.Name)
					for i,c in pairs(v.BuildAreas:GetChildren()) do
						if c.BaseNumber.Value == b.BaseNumber.Value then
							c.Parent = b
						end
					end
				end
			end
			foundbase = true
			break
		end
	end
	if foundbase == true then
		local s,e = pcall(function()
			PlotsDS:SetAsync(plr.UserId,plots)
		end)
		if s then
			print("zapisano dzialki")
		else
			warn(e)
			print("nie zapisano dzialek")
		end
		local s2,e2 = pcall(function()
			StructureDS:SetAsync(plr.UserId,structuretable)
		end)
		if s2 then
			print("zapisano struktury")
		else
			warn(e2)
			print("nie zapisano struktur")
		end
	end
end)

All text must be UTF-8, here is a list if you need it I don’t recommend it though it is confusing for the first look: Complete Character List for UTF-8

#5

so is it because im trying to save vector3 values or what
because im pretty sure everything else is normal

#6

You cant save userdata to datastores. So yes you cant save vector3.

#7

Make sure that you are not using an ordered datastore. I’ve made that mistake before and couldn’t store complex characters and stuff.

#8

ill try to convert them into numbers then and reply if it works

#9

yeah that works i guess, thanks
