Hello so i got this script that i didn’t test yet, but its suppost to just give the player the tools he had in the previous session, basically a datastore but with tools. and everytime i leave the game i get this message in the output

“DataStore request was added to queue. If request queue fills, further requests will be dropped. Try sending fewer requests.Key = 3837598027-tools”

this is the script:

local Players = game.Players
local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local toolsDS = dss:GetDataStore("ToolsData1")
local function SaveData(plr)
	local toolsOwned = {}

	for i, toolInBackpack in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do

		table.insert(toolsOwned, toolInBackpack.Name)
	end

	local success, errormsg = pcall(function()

		toolsDS:SetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-tools", toolsOwned)
	end)
	if errormsg then warn(errormsg) end
end

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(SaveData)
game:BindToClose(function()
	for _, plr in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		SaveData(plr)
	end
end)

Maybe add a task.wait(3) to the BindToClose function so that it has time to save. The rest of the script looks fine to me.

#3

so it should look like this?

game:BindToClose(function()
	task.wait(3)
	for _, plr in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		SaveData(plr)
	end
end)

No, put the task.wait() after the for loop so that the game has time to save it.

game:BindToClose(function()
	for _, plr in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		SaveData(plr)
	end
	task.wait(3)
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
	for _, plr in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		SaveData(plr)
		task.wait(3)
	end
end)

Well uhhh i still get that message in the output.

#8

Oh wait, it might be because it is running the playerremoving and bindtoclose function at the same time. You are testing this with one player in the server, right?

#9

uhhhh i dont know to be honest. but how would i fix that?

#10

I’m not sure if this is the best method but you could just change the BindToClose function to this. The data should still save because the PlayerRemoving function is running

game:BindToClose(function()
	task.wait(3)
end)

#13

dang i just realized that the script by itself doesnt work. eh

#14

What error is it giving you?

Edit: I was wrong, dont follow this:

original post

Also, you should change

for i, toolInBackpack in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do

to

for i, toolInBackpack in pairs(plr.StarterGear:GetChildren()) do

in case the player died or lost their tool.

#15

no errors. it just doesn’t save, you dont have to help me ill use a free model anyway i suck.

#16

How do you know it doesn’t save? Also can you add a print statement to the end of your pcall like this:

local success, errormsg = pcall(function()
		toolsDS:SetAsync(plr.UserId.."-tools", toolsOwned)
	end)
	if success then
		print("Saved data: "..toolsOwned)
	elseif errormsg then 
		warn(errormsg) 
	end

Sorry if the first sentence sounded obnoxious

Edit: i read your comment wrong

#17

it doesn’t print anything.,.,.,.

#18

That’s weird, your script looks fine. Do you have API services enabled for your game?

#19

yeah i do, i also use leaderstats in my game.

#20

I have no idea then. I guess you could try following a tutorial.
