I’m back with another problem, this time it’s the twitter codes, they’re buggy, they don’t give the levels, money and points to the player once the code is redeemed.
local datastore2 = require(script.Parent.DataStore2)
local codestable = {}
local MainKey = "DataStoreKey"
local proceed = false
local function SetDataTable()
local DefaultData = {
Values = {
["Coins"] = 0,
["Gems"] = 0,
["Experience"] = 0,
["Levels"] = 1,
["Points"] = 0,
["Defense"] = 1,
["Speed"] = 16,
["Multiplier"] = 1,
["Rebirths"] = 0,
["Maps"] = 1,
},
Achievements = {
["Alpha"] = 0,
["Level_10"] = 0,
["Level_25"] = 0,
["Level_50"] = 0,
["Level_100"] = 0,
}
}
return DefaultData
end
game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Code.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, code)
local codes = datastore2("Codes", plr)
local userdata = datastore2(MainKey, plr):Get(SetDataTable())
local Values = datastore2("Values", plr)
codestable = {}
for i, v in pairs(codes:Get({})) do
table.insert(codestable, #codestable + 1, v)
end
for i, v in pairs(codes:Get({})) do
if v ~= code then
proceed = true
else
proceed = false
end
end
if proceed == true then
proceed = false
if code == "Alpha" then
game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Code:FireClient(plr, true)
table.insert(codestable, #codestable + 1, code)
userdata.Values.Coins = userdata.Values.Coins + 550
userdata.Values.Levels = userdata.Values.Levels + 1
userdata.Values.Points = userdata.Values.Points + 1
else
end
else
game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Code:FireClient(plr, false)
end
Values:Set(userdata.Values)
codes:Set(codestable)
end)
So, your script is messy. In your codes datastore you should only store codes that have been redeemed, example:
local CodesModule = require(place.CodesModule) --// Module containing code info.
local InputtedCode = "whatever"
if not InputtedCode[CodesModule] then
return -- // checks to see if the code exists.
end
if InputtedCode[PlayerCodeData] == true then
-- // already redeemed code
else
PlayerCodeData[InputtedCode] = true
end
I would store the codes in the module like this:
return {
["Code"] = function(Player)
-- // add the thing you want here, example: Player.Coins.Value = 100
end)
}
local CodesModule = require(CodesModuleLocation)
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Remotes.Code.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Code)
local PlayerData = DS2("Codes", Player)
if CodesModule[tostring(Code)] then
-- // Code Exists :D
local RedeemedCodes = PlayerData:Get() -- // assuming this returns a table of items, havent used ds2 in a while lol
if RedeemedCodes[tostring(Code)] == nil then
-- // Player doesn't have the code in their datastore, meaning it's unredeemed.
PlayerData:Set(--[[ // this is where you add in the code with the true value, not sure how it works]])
CodesModule[tostring(Code)](Player) -- // runs the function that we put into the module
end
end
end)
Let me know if you have any issues, I haven’t used DataStore2 in a while.
Another way you can store codes is via HTTPService and Pastebin. This will allow you to update your codes across all live servers and it’s pretty easy to do. I wont go too much into detail but you can create a paste containing your codes in JSON format. This is how I setup mine(You can do a lot more with them)
Then, in a module script, you can set up different functions to redeem the code, check if the player input a valid code, and other cool things. To retrieve the codetable you could do something like
local codeTable
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
local response = HttpService:GetAsync("Pastebin RAW Url")
codeTable = HttpService:JSONDecode(response)
end)
That is just an example but you can look into it more it’s pretty cool You can still use Datastores but I just thought I give another way to try it if you were not having the best of luck doing it through Datastores.
