Want the game to save player data after leaving and retrieve it back.
The issue is the player data isn’t saving. Join this game, click the cube then rejoin and you will see the error. Datastore test - Roblox
The script is fine, I see no errors in output when I Test it. I’m confused why its not working. Please help.
I have re-read the script, and I found my own error and fixed the datastore saving. It works successfully now. Thanks for your help guys.
Send the script, i will check for any issues.
Okay I will send a message to you with it…
Hmm, I don’t see any issues but try this shorter script.
local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds1Key = ds:GetDataStore("DS")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local folder = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
folder.Name = "leaderstats"
local Platinum = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
Platinum.Name = "Platinum"
local Rubies = Instance.new("IntValue",folder)
Rubies.Name = "Rubies"
Platinum.Value = ds1Key:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or 0
Rubies.Value = ds1Key:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or 0
ds1Key:SetAsync(plr.UserId, Platinum.Value)
ds1Key:SetAsync(plr.UserId, Rubies.Value)
Platinum.Changed:Connect(function()
ds1Key:SetAsync(plr.UserId, Platinum.Value)
end)
Rubies.Changed:Connect(function()
ds1Key:SetAsync(plr.UserId, Rubies.Value)
end)
end)
Alright I will try it, thanks for helping.
Shouldn’t you use SetAsync In player removing event?
I’m not sure if this is a copy pasta typo but you don’t have a folder to parent the values
Whoops, i forgot to put that in, thanks!
btw I recommend switching to DataStore2 or ProfileService
Much more efficient, easy to use and less chance of data loss.
Something i just noticed is your using same keys for both DataStores so it’s overwriting the data everytime with the other value
Yeah nice catch Use plr.UserId…“Platinum” and plr.UserId…“Rubies”.
i make a lot of issues :(. its kinda late where i am
Don’t give up at first my datastores never worked but they do now (sometimes lol)
Man I’m super new to datastore as well Lol…
Could you send the full script without modifications in this thread?
Regarding your script, it’s wrong.
Then you should watch tutorials about DataStoreService.
local function saveData(player) -- The functions that saves data
local tableToSave = {
player.leaderstats.Money.Value; -- First value from the table
player.leaderstats.Coins.Value -- Second value from the table
}
local success, err = pcall(function()
dataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, tableToSave) -- Save the data with the player UserId, and the table we wanna save
end)
if success then -- If the data has been saved
print("Data has been saved!")
else -- Else if the save failed
print("Data hasn't been saved!")
warn(err)
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- When a player joins the game
-- // Assigning player stats //
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local Platinum = Instance.new("IntValue")
Platinum.Name = "Platinum"
Platinum.Parent = leaderstats
local Rubies = Instance.new("IntValue")
Rubies.Name = "Rubies"
Rubies.Parent = leaderstats
local data -- We will define the data here so we can use it later, this data is the table we saved
local success, err = pcall(function()
data = dataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) -- Get the data from the datastore
end)
if success then -- If there were no errors and player loaded the data
Platinum.Value = data[1] -- Set the money to the first value of the table (data)
Rubies.Value = data[2] -- Set the coins to the second value of the table (data)
else -- The player didn't load in the data, and probably is a new player
print("The player has no data!") -- The default will be set to 0
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)-- When a player leaves
local data
local success, err = pcall(function()
saveData(player) -- Save the data
end)
if success then
print("Data has been saved")
else
print("Data has not been saved!")
end
end)
game:BindToClose(function() -- When the server shuts down
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do -- Loop through all the players
local success, err = pcall(function()
saveData(player) -- Save the data
end)
if success then
print("Data has been saved")
else
print("Data has not been saved!")
end
end
end)For starters, since you already call a pcall function in the saveData function, there’s no need to wrap that function in a pcall.
Also, when you actually GET the player’s data, it’s much better to use a table as the initial value.
This is your script:
It should look like:
data = dataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or {0, 0}
for more flexibility for changing starting values for the player. This datastore in general is just really messy and you should start looking for more effective and safe ways to save a player’s data.
