Datastore broken

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#61

Yes. And on the side, I can see the “Points” value works, just not Clicks.

#62

This is now in the TextLabel, adding it into the button now:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local RS = game:GetService("RunService")
local leaderstats = plr.leaderstats
local parent = script.Parent
game:WaitForChild("Clicks")
local c
c = RS.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	wait()
	parent.Text = leaderstats.Clicks.Value.." Clicks"
end)
#64 
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer


local leaderstats = plr.leaderstats

local parent = script.Parent

parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

wait()

leaderstats.Clicks.Value = leaderstats.Clicks.Value + 1

end)
#65

ok so… the script that you sent… there is a space in front of Clicks. Thats why it cant find it

#66

That’s not how you do it, Clicks is not part of game, it’s part of your leaderstats. Refer to this to understand the syntax.

#67

Where? There’s no space.

Space is:

In the DS: image

But there is a space there.

This was is the one he is talking about

#70

With this you are changing Data only for the player (locally) not on the server.

#71

Which script? There multiple scripts.

#72

That has nothing do do with the Leaderboards.THAT is for the counter. it should display as “# CLicks”

#73

I mean click on the “arrow”, you will see for which script I responded.

You cant get on the server variable
game.Players.LocalPlayer

#74

Hi,

i see that in your code, when you are adding a new value, you are setting the async and not getting the async. GetAsync() should also be used in a pcall to utilize any errors.

Good luck with your code!

Still have NO idea. Why is this so hard to fix? Legit 75 “comments” and still a broken DS.

#76

Many devolpers would agree That DataStore 2 is better

#78

and

This would be a great tutorial to watch

#79

Hey,
I don’t recommend saving the player Points / Clicks every time they changed

Instead Save the data when player leave or the server shut down using game:BindToClose()

In theroy that would minimize lag correct?

#81

Kinda Right,

When you’re trying to save too much data in a few seconds The DataStore will add it to the Queue
(Wait List In Short)

More Info:

Oh and then that causes some of it not to save.
