#1

I have this leadestats script with saving using datastores but it doesn’t save and always warn me that there was an error saving the data which i scripted so that i know that it doesn’t save

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local myDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("myDataStore")

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = plr 
	
	local Level = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Level.Name = "Level"
	Level.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Cash.Name = "Cash"
	Cash.Parent = plr
	
	local data 
	local cash
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		
		data = myDataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Level")
		cash = myDataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Cash")

	end)
	if success then
		Level.Value = data 
		Cash.Value = cash
	else
		warn(errormessage)
		print("There was an error saving data")
	end
end)


game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		myDataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Level", plr.leaderstats.Level.Value)
		myDataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Cash", plr.Cash.Value)
	end)
	
	if success then
		print("Player's Data successfully saved")
	else
		print("There was an error saving the data")
		wait(errormessage)
	end
	
	
end)

Output:

It always says there is an error saving a data its not saving anything

#3

Is two leaderstats in one script with datastores not allowed should i do it seperately

#4

You might want to have 2 different data stores to store 2 different variables. Also you might want to use UpdateAsync instead of SetAsync

i used 2 datastores look at the script

#7

Its still says that there was an error saving the data

#8

Did you know which print it errors at?

leaderstats should be its parent

#9

But i want it to show in a different gui not the leaderstats

#10

Hello, did you test this in Roblox Studio?

#11

You can just create another folder, and have your cash stored in there (the name should be something other then leaderstats). I think its cleaner then having it directly in the player. Anyways can you answer the above question.

i thinks its when one of the stats doesn’t save it prints an error

#14

You can use the datamodule like ProfileService : Save your player data with ProfileService! (DataStore Module)

Or you can make your own datamodule.

try to use

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)

I don’t think theres anything wrong with your code. Make sure you have your API services on. Also, since your cash is not a parent of leaderstats it wont show on the tab thingy.

However it still exists. Not sure why you’re getting those errors.

This is not what I mean, if you are testing from the studio and if you press the stop button the game will suddenly close and your actions will not be performed.
