(Sorry for the repost, no one bothered to answer last time)
I have a system in place that uses _G to save.
_G.sessionData[player.UserId] is a table for the player that joins.
_G.sessionData[player.UserId] = {
settings = {
FOV = 1
},
endings = {
Shoplift = false,
Breakfast = 0
},
secrets = {
}
}
^ This is how the table looks like.
local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local BS = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RuS = game:GetService("RunService")
local movement = RS.Movement
local config = require(script.Configuration)
local settingsDS = config.settingDS
local secretsDS = config.secretsDS
local endingsDS = config.endingsDS
local dataKey = config.dataKey
local defaults = config.defaults
local function GetData(player, dataStore)
local data
local success, result = pcall(function()
data = dataStore:GetAsync(dataKey..player.UserId)
end)
if not success then
warn(dataStore.Name.." could not load: "..result)
end
return data
end
local function SaveData(player, data, dataStore)
local success, result = pcall(function()
dataStore:SetAsync(data, dataKey..player.UserId)
end)
if not success then
warn(dataStore.Name.." could not save: "..result)
else
print(dataStore.Name, "saved", player.Name.."'s", "data")
end
end
_G.sessionData = {}
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player:LoadCharacter()
movement:FireClient(player, false)
_G.sessionData[player.UserId] = {}
local plrData = _G.sessionData[player.UserId]
local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
money.Name = "Money"
money.Parent = player
local dataLoaded = Instance.new("BoolValue")
dataLoaded.Name = "DataLoaded"
dataLoaded.Parent = player
plrData.settings = GetData(player, settingsDS) or defaults.settings
plrData.secrets = GetData(player, secretsDS) or defaults.secrets
plrData.endings = GetData(player, endingsDS) or defaults.endings
print(plrData.endings.Shoplift)
dataLoaded.Value = true
local date = os.date("*t")
if (date.hour % 24) == 4 then
BS:AwardBadge(player.UserId, 2127043783)
end
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local plrData = _G.sessionData[player.UserId]
print(plrData.endings.Shoplift)
SaveData(player, plrData.settings, settingsDS)
SaveData(player, plrData.secrets, secretsDS)
SaveData(player, plrData.endings, endingsDS)
end)
^ The script that saves and gets data. It prints when it saves.
local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local config = {
settingDS = DSS:GetDataStore("Settings_TESTING"),
secretsDS = DSS:GetDataStore("Secrets_TESTING"),
endingsDS = DSS:GetDataStore("Endings_TESTING"),
dataKey = "DataKey-6-",
defaults = {
settings = {
FOV = 1
},
endings = {
Shoplift = false,
Breakfast = 0
},
secrets = {
}
}
}
return config
^ The configuration module that I use
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local BS = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local giveEnding = RS.GiveEnding
giveEnding.Event:Connect(function(player, ending, value)
local plrData = _G.sessionData[player.UserId]
plrData.endings[ending] = value or true
BS:AwardBadge(player.UserId, 2127044890)
end)
^ The event I use for giving a player an ending.
When I get an ending, it sets the ending variable inside the player’s session data to the value provided or true. For when I join, I print the Shoplift ending variable to see if I have it (for testing purposes). When I leave, it prints the Shoplift ending variable to tell me whether I have it or not.
When I joined, it printed false.
When I left, it printed true and saved.
But when I rejoined, it printed false again. So I don’t get it, what is preventing it from saving the table? I have avoided using DataStore2 because it failed most of the time I used it, but if it is necessary I will incorporate it.
