DataStore request was added to queue. If request queue fills, further requests will be dropped. Try sending fewer requests

[Dayday_Kid]

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

1. I’m trying to save a player’s data once they leave the game (I can’t figure out the simplest way). There’s only one script saving data.

2. The issue is I keep getting the “DataStore request was added to the queue” error every time a player leaves the game… and most of the time they lose data when joining back.

3. I’ve tried searching through many different posts on the same topic but none of them are quite the same as my script.

-- 		local CharData = {
			(insert data values here)
		}



game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
				Data:SetAsync(prefix  .. tostring(player.UserId), CharData)
end)
end)
end)

If I could get some help with this … that would be great! Been trying to figure out data stores for a couple years and it’s always been setting me back on updating this game.

i dont often work with saving data, but some youtube videos mention a pcall when working with datastore

Pcalls - When and how to use them

Intoduction Protected calls, formally known as pcalls, can run functions without erroring and provide if your code was successfully ran but what’s the best way to use them and when should I? In this tutorial I will be covering the entirety of pcalls and where you’ll need them, so lets begin! Pcall basics First and foremost, we should learn what pcall’s syntax really looks like: pcall(f : function, ...args : any) Basically, you pass your desired function in as argument 1 and any arguments you…

Pcall function?

What do you want to achieve? I want to learn about pcall functions. I have tried searching it up on youtube but no luck. Can you help? What solutions have you tried so far? Youtube pcall(function() end

Could we see more of the script? You have more than one end) and you could’ve put the PlayerRemoving in an event?

[Dayday_Kid]

It’s mainly the character added function and the player removing function in the same line … would “character added” and “player removing” have to be entirely separated maybe?

[Haydz6 (Cookie)]

Player.CharacterAdded should be fine but yes you need to separate PlayerRemoving and make sure it isn’t in an event

Ah, looks like I overlooked that! Thanks so much! The datastore error doesn’t show up anymore!
