Data doesn't save/load

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So I’m trying to make a script which saves/loads the players data, however it does not appear to work, I’m unsure if it’s with saving or loading the data however.

NOTE: I’m moving on from this, there’s really no point in adding to this unless you want to help someone else out (or waste your time)

local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local gold = DSS:GetDataStore("gold")

-- LOAD

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	print ("joining")
	
	local folder = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	folder.Name = "leaderstats"
	
-- GOLD AND UNBANKED GOLD
	
	local Gold = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
	Gold.Name = "Gold"
	Gold.Value = gold:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
end)

-- SAVING

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	
	print ("leaving")
	
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		
		print ("Success")
		
		local PlayerUserId = 'Player_'..player.UserId
		
		local Gold = player.leaderstats.Gold
		gold:SetAsync(player.UserId, Gold.Value)
	end)
	if not success then
		warn('Could Not Save Data')
	end
end)

I just tested your code. It worked for me. I think the problem not with loading or saving, but how you update the Gold. Can you provide a piece of code where you give/remove Gold?

Maybe try putting the GetAsync() part into a pcall function?

The problem might be because you give gold in Local Script, and server don’t see it, because its only for you

Remove the “or 0” thing. it’s not needed anyway.

Try this:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local gold = DSS:GetDataStore("gold")

-- LOAD

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    print ("joining")
    local folder = Instance.new("Folder", player)
    folder.Name = "leaderstats"
	-- GOLD AND UNBANKED GOLD
    local Gold = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
    Gold.Name = "Gold"
    local success1, value = pcall(function()
	    return gold:GetAsync(player.UserId)
	end)
    if success1 and value ~= nil then
	    Gold.Value = gold:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
    end
end)

-- SAVING
function Save(player)
    print ("leaving")
    local Gold = player.leaderstats.Gold
    local success1, value = pcall(function()
	    return gold:GetAsync(player.UserId)
    end)
    if success1 and value ~= nil then
    	local success2, err = pcall(function()
			gold:UpdateAsync(player.UserId,function()
		    	return Gold.Value
	    	end)
    	end)
		if success2 then	print("Saved!")
	    else				warn('Could Not Save Data')	end
    elseif success1 and value == nil then
		local success2, err = pcall(function()
		    gold:SetAsync(player.UserId, Gold.Value)
	    end)
	    if success2 then	print("Saved!")
	    else				warn('Could Not Save Data')	end
    elseif not success1 then		warn("Error")	end
end

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    Save(player)
end)
game:BindToClose(function()
	for i,player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
    	coroutine.wrap(Save)(player)
	end
end)
