DataStore Saving A Player's IntValue and BoolValue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey, I’m trying to make a dataStore script that saves the amount of cards a player has, the card level, and whether or not the card is owned. I’m not sure what’s wrong with it.

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("CardSaving")
local cards_folder = game.ServerStorage.Cards

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
  local cards_fold = Instance.new("Folder")
	  	cards_fold.Name = "Cards"
  	  	cards_fold.Parent = plr
	
	for _, v in pairs (cards_folder:GetChildren()) do
		
		local card = Instance.new("Folder")
		card.Name = v.Name
		card.Parent = cards_fold
		
		local cardOwned = Instance.new("BoolValue")
		cardOwned.Name = "CardOwned"
		cardOwned.Parent = card
		
		local cardAmount = Instance.new("IntValue")
		cardAmount.Name = "CardAmount"
		cardAmount.Parent = card
		
		local lvl = Instance.new("IntValue")
		lvl.Name = "Level" 
		lvl.Parent = card
		
		local Chloe = ds:GetAsync("Chloe".. plr.UserId)
		local KEKI = ds:GetAsync("KEKI".. plr.UserId)
		local Radley = ds:GetAsync("Radley".. plr.UserId)
		local Sabaku = ds:GetAsync("Sabaku".. plr.UserId)
		if v.Name == "Chloe" and Chloe ~= nil then
			print("Getting the data")
			local succ, msg = pcall(function()
					cardOwned.Value = (Chloe)
					cardAmount.Value = (Chloe)
					lvl.Value = (Chloe)
				end)
				if not succ then
					warn("Problem with getting and setting data "..msg)
			end
		elseif v.Name == "KEKI" and KEKI ~= nil then
			local succ, msg = pcall(function()
				cardOwned.Value = (KEKI)
				cardAmount.Value = (KEKI)
				lvl.Value = (KEKI)
			end)
			if not succ then
				warn("Problem with getting and setting data "..msg)
			end
		elseif v.Name == "Radley" and Radley ~= nil then
			local succ, msg = pcall(function()
				cardOwned.Value = (Radley)
				cardAmount.Value = (Radley)
				lvl.Value = (Radley)
			end)
			if not succ then
				warn("Problem with getting and setting data "..msg)
			end
		elseif v.Name == "Sabaku" and Sabaku ~= nil then
			local succ, msg = pcall(function()
				cardOwned.Value = (Sabaku)
				cardAmount.Value = (Sabaku)
				lvl.Value = (Sabaku)
			end)
			if not succ then
				warn("Problem with getting and setting data "..msg)
			end
		end	
	end
end)
		

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	local succ, msg = pcall(function()
		local Chloe = {}
		local KEKI = {}
		local Radley = {}
		local Sabaku = {}
	for _, v in pairs (plr.Cards:GetChildren()) do
			local card = v
			for _, v in pairs (card:GetChildren()) do
				if card.Name == "Chloe" then
					table.insert(Chloe,{v.Name, v.Value})
				elseif card.Name == "KEKI" then
					table.insert(KEKI, {v.Name, v.Value})
				elseif card.Name == "Radley" then
					table.insert(Radley, {v.Name, v.Value})
				elseif card.Name == "Sabaku" then
					table.insert(Sabaku, {v.Name, v.Value})
				end
			end
			
		end
		ds:SetAsync("Chloe"..plr.UserId, Chloe)
		ds:SetAsync("KEKI"..plr.UserId, KEKI)
		ds:SetAsync("Radley"..plr.UserId, Radley)
		ds:SetAsync("Sabaku"..plr.UserId, Sabaku)
		
  end)

  if not succ then
    warn("Problem with saving data ".. msg)
  end
end)

Thanks!

Lua and almost every other programming language is case sensitive, instead of using: :SetAsync() and :GetAsync()
use: :setAsync() and :getAsync()

It still doesn’t save the data, I’ve also tried it in game.

#4

It’s case sensitive, so you have to do SetAsync and GetAsync instead of setAsync and getAsync

#6

The thing is, i can only talk out of my own experience on working with the DatastoreService, it never worked for me with :SetAsync() or :GetAsync(), it only works for me with: :setAsync() and :getAsync()

Note: Developer.roblox.com isn’t always right

Exampel:
This one works for me:

	NewWarnings.Changed:Connnect(function(value)
		local Success,ErrorMessage = pcall(function()
			WarnData:setAsync(WarnKey..Player.UserId,value)
		end)
		if not Success then
			warn("Something went wrong while saving the data for "..Player.Name.."\nError: "..ErrorMessage)
		end
	end)

But this one doesn’t:

	NewWarnings.Changed:Connnect(function(value)
		local Success,ErrorMessage = pcall(function()
			WarnData:SetAsync(WarnKey..Player.UserId,value)
		end)
		if not Success then
			warn("Something went wrong while saving the data for "..Player.Name.."\nError: "..ErrorMessage)
		end
	end)
