DataStore stopped saving and loading?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello all!

The title is self-explanatory. Why does my data not save or load?

Here is my ServerScript, inside of ServerScriptService:

local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local datastore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("File1")
local pointStat

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
	pointStat = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Points")
	
	if player then

		print("yippe")
		local data

		local success, response = pcall(function()
			data = datastore:GetAsync("file1")
		end)

		if success then
			pointStat.Value = data
		else
			pointStat.Value = 0	
			warn("Error.")
		end

	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function()
	local success, response = pcall(function()
		datastore:SetAsync("file1", pointStat.Value)
	end)

	if success then
		print("data saved")
	else
		warn("Error.")
	end
end)

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

try adding game:BindToClose()

game:BindToClose:Connect(function()
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	local success, response = pcall(function()
		datastore:SetAsync(player.UserId, pointStat.Value)
	end)

	if success then
		print("data saved")
	else
		warn("Error.")
	end
end
end)

also please use the player.UserId for your data keys

#3

This method sadly did not work

#4

replace “file1” with player.UserId also make sure api services are enabled

#5

Your not getting the player when removing maybe

#6

pretty sure playerremoving doesnt fire when theres 1 person in a server thats why i mentioned game:BindToClose()

#7

PlayerRemoving was working before, but I feel like i mightve corrupted my data store or something

also api Services is on, and I tried the UserId name but it didnt work :expressionless:

#8

r u getting any errors in the output?

#9

There are no errors in the output

#10 
local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local datastore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("File1")
local pointStat

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
	pointStat = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Points")
	
	if player then

		print("yippe")
		local data

		local success, response = pcall(function()
			data = datastore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
		end)

		if success and data then
			pointStat.Value = data[1]
		else
			pointStat.Value = 0	
			warn("Error.")
		end

	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local success, response = pcall(function()
		datastore:SetAsync(player.UserId, pointStat.Value)
	end)

	if success then
		print("data saved")
	else
		warn("Error.")
	end
end)

game:BindToClose:Connect(function()
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	local success, response = pcall(function()
		datastore:SetAsync(player.UserId, pointStat.Value)
	end)

	if success then
		print("data saved")
	else
		warn("Error.")
	end
end

I made the script for adding leaderstats in another ServerScript

#12 
local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local datastore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("File1")
local pointStat

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
	pointStat = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Points")
	
	if player then

		print("yippe")
		local data

		local success, response = pcall(function()
			data = datastore:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
		end)

		if success then
			pointStat.Value = data
		else
			pointStat.Value = 0	
			warn("Error.")
		end

	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	local success, response = pcall(function()
		datastore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr.leaderstats.pointStat.Value)
	end)

	if success then
		print("data saved")
	else
		warn("Error.")
	end
end)
