DataStore loading previous players data to new player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

this is very confusing, can you send a video of the problem?

#22

Let me explain in more detail.

If you are a new player and nobody else has been in the server, it gives you fresh clean data.

If you are a new player and join a server with other players in it., it wonā€™t give you fresh data and will give you someone elseā€™s data.

Show how it is setting the value to the datastorekey with setasync. Show the full playerremoving event.

Using table.clone only creates a shallow copy of a table which may be affecting your DataFormat dictionary/table. Try deep copying the table instead.

i think table.clone deep clones the table

Adding onto what @RipPBB_TUD said, what is dataformat function aswell? Can you show that. Heck why are there so many functions, I think scripters are too used to just putting things in functions instead of writing out the actual code in the if statement. I usually prefer writing out the code instead of using functions, but thatā€™s just me.

i just finded this:

local function deepCopy(original)
	local copy = {}
	for k, v in pairs(original) do
		if type(v) == "table" then
			v = deepCopy(v)
		end
		copy[k] = v
	end
	return copy
end

Yep, thatā€™s the commonly used deep copy function. OP should be using this instead of table.clone

I will try deepCopy instead of clone then.

Haha this worked, thanks so much guys. All of that just to realise that table.clone() is not good enough.
