Well, basically, im making a tool saving system so when player leaves doesnt lose his weapons. Howevar, for some reason, the script is not working altough no errors in output and/or squiggles in script.
The script is in ServerScriptService and the tools are in ServerStorage. I hope u can help me, thanks
: D
EDIT: not sure it has something to do with but the tools are obtained through a buy gui, which clones tool to backpack when bought
local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("ArmaSave")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
pcall(function()
local tool = dataStore:GetAsync("armas-"..player.UserId)
if tool then
for i, v in pairs(tool) do
local toolFound = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild(v)
if toolFound then
toolFound:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
toolFound:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
end
end
end
end)
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
pcall(function()
local toolSave = {}
for i, tool in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
if tool then
table.insert(toolSave,tool.Name)
end
end
dataStore:SetAsync("armas-"..player.UserId,toolSave)
end)
end)
There’s probably some errors but the pcalls are suppressing them. Try removing the pcalls and also printing the contents of the datastore for that specific key, basically adding a print(tool) after getting the datastore and storing it in tool and printing toolSave after the loop in playerremoving
Are you testing this in Studio? If so, whenever you leave the game, the server shutsdown which doesn’t give the chance for PlayerRemoving to fire.
You also need to save data before the server shuts down:
game:BindToClose(function()
for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
coroutine.wrap(function()
local toolSave = {}
for _, tool in ipairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
if tool then
table.insert(toolSave,tool.Name)
end
end
dataStore:SetAsync("armas-"..player.UserId,toolSave)
end)()
end
end)
