Autosaving not working/Datastore issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

I’ve been working on a datastore recently, and I ran into two issues. First, I can successfully load data, but for some reason I can only save it manually. Autosaving when the player leaves the server just doesn’t work despite using the same code as the manual save. I noticed that it usually takes around 5-ish seconds for the data to be successfully saved, so I’m thinking the player is disconnecting before the game can finish saving, maybe?
Here’s the code for this:

local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local dataScript = require(game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("savingDataTest"))

local VERSION = "1.0.0"

local playerStuff = {}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player : Player) --This function loads the data when the player joins.
	playerStuff[Player.UserId] = dataScript.new(Player) 
	playerStuff[Player.UserId]:LoadData() 
	print(playerStuff[Player.UserId].Data.FrenzyTokens)
	local fTokens = playerStuff[Player.UserId].Data.FrenzyTokens
	game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("dataToClient"):FireClient(Player, fTokens)
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player : Player) --This should save the player's data when they leave, but it isn't working.
	game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("savingConnector"):FireClient(Player)
	game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("dataToServer").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, info)
		print(info)
		playerStuff[Player.UserId].Data.FrenzyTokens = info.fTokens
		playerStuff[Player.UserId]:SaveData(info)
		print("Saved! You have " .. info.fTokens .. " Frenzy Tokens.")
	end)
end)

workspace.saveBtn.save.Triggered:Connect(function(Player : Player) --This should save when the player triggers a prompt. This part works.
	game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("savingConnector"):FireClient(Player)
	game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("dataToServer").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, info)
		print(info)
		playerStuff[Player.UserId].Data.FrenzyTokens = info.fTokens
		playerStuff[Player.UserId]:SaveData(info)
		print("Saved! You have " .. info.fTokens .. " Frenzy Tokens.")
	end)
end)

Secondly, while trying to troubleshoot this, I noticed that I get a warning telling me that if I add too many datastore requests to the queue, it will drop any new ones. It isn’t affecting me now, but should I be worrying about this? And if so, how can I fix this issue?

Any help here is appreciated, thank you!

Try this:

--[[Savin'
		Dem
			Stats	
--]]
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
	local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore(player.Name.."Stats")

local statstorage = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):GetChildren()
for i =  1, #statstorage do
	datastore:SetAsync(statstorage[i].Name, statstorage[i].Value)
	print("saved data number "..i)
	
end
print("Stats successfully saved")	
end)


--[[
	Loadin'
		Dem
			Stats
--]]
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
		local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore(player.Name.."Stats")
	
	player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
	wait(1)
	local stats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):GetChildren()
	for i = 1, #stats do			
	stats[i].Value = datastore:GetAsync(stats[i].Name)
	print("stat numba "..i.." has been found")
		end
end)

and put it in normal scrip tin workspace

and replace the datastore with yours and the leaderstats whereever ur folder is
