Datastore not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey, I’m not sure why this isn’t working I’m not getting any errors and everything seems to be right I had another script but it wasn’t working so I tried one from the toolbox as well and none of them worked

Script

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local CreditData = DataStore:GetDataStore("CreditStats") --Credit Data
local Value = 0

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats= Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name= ("leaderstats")
	leaderstats.Parent= player
	-----------------------------------------------------------
	local credit= Instance.new("IntValue")
	credit.Name= ("Neon Credits") --credit Value
	credit.Parent = leaderstats
	credit.Value = 0 -- Starter Value
	credit.Value = CreditData:GetAsync(player.UserId) or Value
	CreditData:SetAsync(player.UserId, credit.Value)
	-----------------------------------------------------------
	------------------------------------------------------------
	game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
		CreditData:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats["Neon Credits"].Value)
	end)
	
end) 

game:BindToClose(function()
	for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		CreditData:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats["Neon Credits"].Value)
	end
	
end)

I’ve modified the script a little bit to include a couple of debug statements. Can you join the game then leave, and tell me what the outputs are please?

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local CreditData = DataStore:GetDataStore("CreditStats") --Credit Data
local Value = 0
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats= Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name= "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent= player
	-----------------------------------------------------------
	local credit= Instance.new("IntValue")
	credit.Name= "Neon Credits" --credit Value
	credit.Parent = leaderstats

	local Loaded = CreditData:GetAsync(player.UserId)
	if Loaded then
		print(`Loaded the following: {tostring(Loaded)}`)
	else
		print("No data to load. Using default value")
	end
	credit.Value = Loaded or Value
	------------------------------------------------------------
end) 

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	print(`Saving player's data: {tostring(player.leaderstats["Neon Credits"].Value}`)
	CreditData:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats["Neon Credits"].Value)
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
	for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		print(`Saving player's data (BindToClose): {tostring(player.leaderstats["Neon Credits"].Value}`)
		CreditData:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats["Neon Credits"].Value)
	end
end)

only thing printed was Saving(player.leaderstats[“Neon Credits”].Value} - Server - MoneyDatastoreAcc:24

Apparently I missed a bracket in the output statement. Try using this one instead

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local CreditData = DataStore:GetDataStore("CreditStats") --Credit Data
local Value = 0
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats= Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name= "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent= player
	-----------------------------------------------------------
	local credit= Instance.new("IntValue")
	credit.Name= "Neon Credits" --credit Value
	credit.Parent = leaderstats
	local Loaded = CreditData:GetAsync(player.UserId)
	if Loaded then
		print(`Loaded the following: {tostring(Loaded)}`)
	else
		print("No data to load. Using default value")
	end
	credit.Value = Loaded or Value
	------------------------------------------------------------
end) 
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	print(`Saving player's data: {tostring(player.leaderstats["Neon Credits"].Value)}`)
		CreditData:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats["Neon Credits"].Value)
end)
game:BindToClose(function()
	for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		print(`Saving player's data (BindToClose): {tostring(player.leaderstats["Neon Credits"].Value)}`)
			CreditData:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats["Neon Credits"].Value)
	end
end)

Hey sorry for the late response but the updated code printed out
that it loaded 0 and saved 0 but the I updated the neon credits to be 100, so i think its an error in the saving

#6

When you change the value, are you using a local script or a server script?

#7

im just using the properties panel for the intvalue not any scripts rn

#8

I believe that you are changing it on the client side then, hence why it doesn’t save.
If you click this:

while in the game (and in Studio), it should switch over to server side. When in the server side mode, try changing the property and see if it saves now
