hi guys, i have a problem with this data store script. its saves and load my leaderstats correctly but it dont saves and load the levels that the player has unlocked. everytime when a player joins the game he is at level 2
here is the code
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local PlayerCashStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerCashStore") -- You can rename the string in quotation marks to whatever you want
local PlayerGemStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerGemStore") -- You can rename the string in quotation marks to whatever you want
local SaveUnlockedLevel = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("SaveUnlockedLevelData")
function savedata(player) -- Call this function whenever you need to save data
local success, err = pcall(function()
PlayerCashStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats.Cash.Value)
PlayerGemStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats.Gems.Value)
SaveUnlockedLevel:SetAsync(player.UserId, game.Workspace.CurrentLevel.UnlockedLevels.Value)
end)
if success then
print("Yippie, Saved player's data successfully!")
else
print(err) -- Prints the error that had happened
end
end
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) -- When player leaves
savedata(player)
end)
game:BindToClose(function() -- When server shuts down
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
savedata(player)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue") -- Cash can be renamed to whatever you want
Cash.Name = "Cash"
Cash.Parent = leaderstats
Cash.Value = PlayerCashStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
local Gems = Instance.new("IntValue") -- Cash can be renamed to whatever you want
Gems.Name = "Gems"
Gems.Parent = leaderstats
Gems.Value = PlayerGemStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
game.Workspace.CurrentLevel.Level.Value = game.Workspace.CurrentLevel.UnlockedLevels.Value
end)
if you need more scripts or any screenshots let me know.
It’s probably because you never actually retrieve the value from the datastore.
Change your PlayerAdded block to this:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue") -- Cash can be renamed to whatever you want
Cash.Name = "Cash"
Cash.Parent = leaderstats
Cash.Value = PlayerCashStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
local Gems = Instance.new("IntValue") -- Cash can be renamed to whatever you want
Gems.Name = "Gems"
Gems.Parent = leaderstats
Gems.Value = PlayerGemStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
local level = SaveUnlockedLevel:GetAsync(player.UserId)
game.Workspace.CurrentLevel.UnlockedLevels.Value = level
game.Workspace.CurrentLevel.Level.Value = level
end)
Have you got code for spawning the ball when the player joins? I don’t believe anything is wrong with the actual spawning of it I just don’t think you’re calling it to spawn on PlayerAdded.
i only have a config module with all positions in each level
local ConfigModule = {}
ConfigModule.ResetPositions = { -- THESE ARE SEQUENCED IN ORDER FOR THE LEVELS
-- DO NOT FORGET TO INCLUDE THE COMMAS BETWEEN THEM
Vector3.new(-4.461, 83.55, -26.55), -- LV1
Vector3.new(-289.561, 83.55, -26.55), -- LV2
Vector3.new(-549.361, 83.55, -26.55), -- ETC
Vector3.new(-887.761, 45.45, -38.693),
Vector3.new(-1135.461, 83.25, -38.693),
Vector3.new(-1422.861, 83.25, -38.693),
Vector3.new(-1735.661, 76.75, -41.893),
Vector3.new(-2088.761, 37.65, -41.893),
Vector3.new(-2329.661, 76.85, -41.893),
Vector3.new(-2655.461, 76.85, -41.893)
}
return ConfigModule
Yeah, so you’ll need to call the spawning of it back in your main script. You’ve defined the position of it but you’re not actually spawning it. The code to spawn it should be similar to the reset button code.
The script should access the module and data store, check the level of the player, and then set the position value based on the level from the data store.
