I have a data store currently and this data store currently consists of player’s gold, player’s level and players experience points.
when a quest is completed, a local script gives experience points to the player and the player earns levels.
This works fine in studio as it should, but in the game client it does not change the value.
I have looked over my scripts and everything is functional like i said in studio, but the game client does not change that value… I noticed the datastore was not saving the data so looking into it i found the value is not changing in the client. The experience value stays at 500 - however my UI reflects as it should.
Let me know if there is more information needed here…
