Seems to be a problem with getting the items in the inventory.

#24

I think I might know a fix to this issue, I’ll let anyone know if it works or not.

#25

make it load the data after it loads the values inside the inventory.
that should fix it.

i edited the script for the fifth time, test it out.

#26

What the hell is going on

#27

fix ds.GetAsync to ds:GetAsync

#28

thats not the issue,
if you test it out in your own game using .GetAsync method, it should still work.

uh, edited it the sixth time i think? (i lost track)
copy paste again, im really sure this time it will work.

#30

hold on, it finally printed, btw whats the delay all about?

#31

wdym delay?
anyways did it work?

#32

It worked at first with like a 5 minute delay till printing. Then it began erroring again, haven’t tested it today but this is surely a weird situation.

I’ve tried to save this with the module code that creates the string value, it printed but didn’t work.

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Inventory")
local buyitem = {}
	function buyitem.buy(item, itemcost, plr)
		local cash = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Cash")
		if cash.Value >= itemcost then
			cash.Value -= itemcost
			local obj = Instance.new("StringValue")
			obj.Name = item.Name
			obj.Value = item.Name
		obj.Parent = plr.Inventory
			print(obj.Name)
		game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
			local data
			local success, result = pcall(function()
				ds:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
				print("Data has been loaded/saved!" .. obj.Value)
			end)
			if data ~= nil then
				obj.Value = data
				print("Data has been successfully loaded" .. obj.Value)
			end
		end)
		game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function()
			local success, result = pcall(function()
				ds:SetAsync(plr.UserId, obj.Value)
			end)
			if success then
				print("Lovely success")
			elseif result then
				warn(result)
				warn("Data failed to save! Please try again later.")
			end
		end)
		end
		end 
	

return buyitem

(I’ve also tested this in-game)

the issue is your trying to save data multiple times from different scripts.
a simple fix is using a single script to store all your data, using tables.

once you wrap up the datasaving scripts into a single script, with only one single :SetAsync or .UpdateAsync function, datasaving should work perfectly.

(in simple words, using :SetAsync() multiple times in different scripts when the player is leaving is causing this error)
