Writing Data to a Data Store
When trying to either save the data it fails or trying to load the data it fails to load in properly as it is always defaulting back to 0
I have tried changing the way it saves data so far and nothing has worked
Everytime I basically rejoin it fails to save the data and immediatley defaults back to 0 even though I have changed the values on the server side
-- Defining Data Store Service and making a data store
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerCashStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("playerCashStore")
-- Defining the main group ID used for the rank variable.
local groupID = 10797715
-- Checking if a new player has joined the game
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
-- Making a leaderstats folder to save variables such as cash and rank
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Parent = player
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
-- Adding cash to the leaderboard
local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
cash.Parent = leaderstats
cash.Name = "Cash"
-- Adding a rank to the leaderboard
local rank = Instance.new("StringValue")
rank.Parent = leaderstats
rank.Name = "Rank"
-- Making the rank string update when the player joins the game
rank.Value = player:GetRoleInGroup(groupID)
-- Making a Custom Player ID for when the player joins
local playerDataStoreKey= "plr_".. player.UserId
print("Player: ".. player.Name .." Connected Data Store Key: ".. playerDataStoreKey .. " pulled/generated")
-- Loading data from this Data Store from the player key
local data
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
data = playerCashStore:GetAsync(playerDataStoreKey)
end)
-- Checking if loading player data from data store key was a success otherwise throwing warning on failing to load data
if success then
print("Data Successfully loaded from data store key: ".. playerDataStoreKey)
print("Data Loaded: ".. data)
cash.Value = data
elseif errorMessage then
warn("Data Failed to load on data store key: ".. playerDataStoreKey .." Error Code: ".. errorMessage)
end
end)
-- Checking if a player has left to save data
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
-- Loading the data store key
local playerDataStoreKey = "plr_".. player.UserId
print("Player ".. player.Name .." Removing Writing to Data Store Key: ".. playerDataStoreKey)
local data = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value
-- Saving Data To said data store key
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
playerCashStore:SetAsync(playerDataStoreKey, data)
end)
-- Checking if data has failed to be written or not
if errorMessage then
warn("Failed to write data to data store key: ".. playerDataStoreKey .." Error Code: ".. errorMessage)
elseif success then
print("Data Successfully written to data store key: ".. playerDataStoreKey)
end
