Database problem yet again (repost)

I previously made this forum:

DataStore problem once again

In the save script you are saving your data as a table. So when it loads and you run the code: if data then It is actually checking if the table is not equal to nil, but not the SpeedCheck value itself. To fix this, either save it as a boolean and not a table in the Save function, or change the load line to: SpeedCheck.Value = data and data.SpeedCheck which is also a nice one line solution. Also some notes: When you Connect the PlayerAdded and PlayerRemoving Event to a function, instead o…

The script did work for a while, but now for some reason it does not work anymore.

Any reasons why?

Here’s the code:

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerData")

local function onPlayerJoin(Player)
	local BlackMarketThings = Instance.new("Folder")
	BlackMarketThings.Name = "BlackMarketThings"
	BlackMarketThings.Parent = Player

	local SpeedCheck = Instance.new("BoolValue")
	SpeedCheck.Name = "SpeedCheck"
	SpeedCheck.Parent = BlackMarketThings
	SpeedCheck.Value = false

	local playerUserId = "Player_ ".. Player.UserId
	local data = playerData:GetAsync(playerUserId)
	if data then
		SpeedCheck.Value = data and data.SpeedCheck
	else
		SpeedCheck.Value = false
	end
end

local function onPlayerLeave(Player)
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		local playerUserId = "Player_ "..Player.UserId
		local speedCheckValue = Player.BlackMarketThings.SpeedCheck.Value

		local dataToSave = {
			SpeedCheck = speedCheckValue
		}
		playerData:SetAsync(playerUserId, dataToSave)

	end)
	if not success then
		warn("Could not save data, Error message: ", err)
	else
		print("Saved 2")
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerJoin)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(onPlayerLeave)

What’s your problem? What isn’t working?

[SkabaYay]

I feel like the script is not loading up the boolean value. The script correctly displays an output saying “Saving 2”.

[Puzzled3d (val)]

What do you mean when you say you don’t feel it is loading the value? Is the data being loaded correct?

[SkabaYay]

no the data is not being loaded correctly, sorry about that

This part

SpeedCheck.Value = data and data.SpeedCheck

Change to

SpeedCheck.Value = data.SpeedCheck

[Puzzled3d (val)]

There is no problem with that line, infact it is a good practice.

He already checked if data exist or not so it’s not necessary to do that.

[Puzzled3d (val)]

That’s because in a previous forum post someone misunderstood the line and told him to add another check.

@DasKairo

Forgot Something?

data = data or {}

[SkabaYay]

yeah I absolutely suck at database

[DasKairo (Cairo)]

really?

I think its you that misunderstood what the usage of this is for.
