Adding Currency Problem

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi everyone, so in one of my games I have a currency system, wich is linked to a datastore. The problem is that I want to add some currency every 5s (for example). And I dont know why, it doesnt work. And when adding currency I would like that it saves up in the datastore. If anybody could help me I would really appreciate.

Thx

(Curency) image Data Store for “Suricoins’s currency”

The first pic includes “Minutes” DataStore, wich works perfectly, the problem is in the second currency

#6

I’m not trying to be rude, but the way you save currency overwrites itself will not and doesnt work.

I perfectly understand, i mean, im not a programer, im a builder, so has u may imagine, my scripting skills are very bad. So, ill listen to you

alright, I’ll adjust changes to your script. Give me a minute or 2
here is the finished script:

local dataservice = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local statsstore = dataservice:GetDataStore("StatsData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local statstable = statsstore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or {}
	
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
	cash.Name = "Suricoins"
	cash.Value = statstable.Suricoins or 0
	cash.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local Time = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Time.Name = "Minutos"
	Time.Value = statstable.Minutos or 0
	Time.Parent = leaderstats
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local stats = {
		["Suricoins"] = player.leaderstats.Suricoins.Value,
		["Minutos"] = player.leaderstats.Minutos.Value
	}
	statsstore:SetAsync(player.UserId, stats)
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
	for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
		local stats = {
			["Suricoins"] = v.leaderstats.Suricoins.Value,
			["Minutos"] = v.leaderstats.Minutos.Value
		}
		statsstore:SetAsync(v.UserId, stats)
	end
end)

sure, if u need anything else tell me

#10

so, a quick question, if i modify this script, and i replace it with this one, will the previous data be lost??

#11

yes, but unless this is a game that many people have played and have a lot of data, it shouldnt matter.

#12

so when i replace the script ill need give the people back manually their currency value?

#13

no, I can just adjust it so it will automatically get their data and slowly replace it (when they join the game).

#14

okay, let me replace the script

#15

I’ll adjust it real quick so you can have their data not be lost and just be a quick transfer over time.

can you try an add a function that add 1 to the minutes value every 60s and 100 value to suricoins currency every 60s??

#17

here is the new script:

local dataservice = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local statsstore = dataservice:GetDataStore("StatsData")
local oldtime = dataservice:GetDataStore("DsTime")
local oldsuricoins = dataservice:GetDataStore("SaveData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local statstable = statsstore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or {}
	
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
	cash.Name = "Suricoins"
	cash.Value =  statstable.Suricoins or oldsuricoins:GetAsync("id_"..player.UserId) or 0
	cash.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local Time = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Time.Name = "Minutos"
	Time.Value = statstable.Minutos or oldtime:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-tim") or 0
	Time.Parent = leaderstats
	while wait(60) do
		Time.Value += 1
		cash.Value += 100
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local stats = {
		["Suricoins"] = player.leaderstats.Suricoins.Value,
		["Minutos"] = player.leaderstats.Minutos.Value
	}
	statsstore:SetAsync(player.UserId, stats)
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
	for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
		local stats = {
			["Suricoins"] = v.leaderstats.Suricoins.Value,
			["Minutos"] = v.leaderstats.Minutos.Value
		}
		statsstore:SetAsync(v.UserId, stats)
	end
end)

this should work for getting old data and eventually starting to replace it.
just finished adding the function. It should work now.
