You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I want to make logs for my game using data storage.
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
The data storage thing is doing random numbers.
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I tried printing them and it was perfectly fine, and I don’t think there is any solution for this.
After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!
Here is my code
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds = DataStore:GetDataStore("Ban")
local startinglogs = {ds:ListKeysAsync()}
script.Parent.LogsString.Value = ds:GetAsync(startinglogs)
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.BanGUI.Ban.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,plrtoban,reason,days,status) -- When you fire the server
local uid = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(plrtoban) -- If they aren't in the server, it gets the id anyway with no error unless it's an invalid name
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(plrtoban) == nil or uid == 381203209 then
local logs = {ds:ListKeysAsync().Cursor .. ", ".. plr.Name.. " tried banning ".. plrtoban .. " for ".. reason}
print(logs)
print(ds:ListKeysAsync())
print(plr.Name.. " tried banning ".. plrtoban .. " for ".. reason)
script.Parent.LogsString.Value = ds:SetAsync(logs, script.Parent.LogsString.Value)
print(script.Parent.LogsString.Value)
else
game.Players:FindFirstChild(plrtoban):Kick("You have been banned\n For: "..reason.."by:".. plr.Name)
local logs = {ds:ListKeysAsync(), plr.Name.. " banned ".. plrtoban .. " for ".. reason}-- Kick if they are in the server
print(logs)
print(ds:ListKeysAsync())
print(plr.Name.. " banned ".. plrtoban .. " for ".. reason)
script.Parent.LogsString.Value = ds:SetAsync(logs, script.Parent.LogsString.Value)
end
end)
while wait() do
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = script.Parent.LogsString.Value
end
Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.
Can you please explain what you believe the SetAsync code is doing / what you want it to do? Looking at it, you are trying to use a table as the key, which wouldn’t really make sense.
it seems you want to store a list of who banned whom for reason
function AddBanLog(plr: Player, plrtoban: string, reason: string, days: number, status: string)
local uid = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(plrtoban)
local key = `Player/{plr.UserId}/{os.time()}` -- it should be more relevant to be the key. we assume the player will at most ban one person each second
local log
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(plrtoban) == nil or uid == 381203209 then
log = `{plr.Name} tried banning {plrtoban} for {reason}`
else
log = `{plr.Name} banned {plrtoban} for {reason}`
end
while true do
local success, error = pcall(function() return ds:SetAsync(key, log) end)
if success then break end
task.wait(1) -- wait a bit and retry is database error
end
end
the choice for the key is that, you can then list out whom a particular moderator has banned
function GetBannedBy(plr: Player)
local pages = ds:ListKeysAsync(`Player/{plr.UserId}`)
while true do
local keys = pages:GetCurrentPage()
for _, key in keys do
local log = ds:GetAsync(key)
print(log)
end
if pages.IsFinished then break end
pages:AdvanceToNextPageAsync()
end
end
see Players:BanAsync ; they also have some sample code for you to look at.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local function ban(name, reason, days, status)
local uid = tonumber(name) or Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(plrtoban)
Players:BanAsync({
UserIds = {uid},
Duration = 24*60*60 * days,
DisplayReason = "You have been banned for "..tostring(days).." days for "..reason,
PrivateReason = reason
})
end
unfortunately notice that these are not directly visible from Creator Hub > Moderations > Bans
and we have to know the banned userId to retreive the ban history with Players:GetBanHistoryAsync
so we need to store the plrtoban userId to integrate with these API
So I don’t really get what you mean when you say it’s not visible here.
In the function I wrote it says local uid = tonumber(name) or Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(plrtoban) which takes either the userid or the name of the player. Since I haven’t tested or looked into Roblox’s ban system much, I don’t know what a banned user looks like in the creator hub, but I would guess it would display their name and a link to their profile.
Here I did 5 mins of looking:
If you need the ids to ban from the website, open studio and run print(game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync("namehere")) in command line.
we used the in experience banning api before and it doesn’t show on this web page.
the web page on shows those that are banned by using the web page only.
