Ok so I own a game and one of the players came to me and asked me for a restore on an item they spent currency on which they didnt receive. I didn’t believe them until i checked their datastore and saw this:
For some reason this russian user who was using translate in game bought the gamepass using an in game currency (which is intentional) but instead of saving their value to true it made a new one but in russian. I googled what it was and it was the EXACT translation of “Super Glue”
I’ve searched the dev forum profusely and couldn’t find any answers as to why this is happening. For reference I am using Profile service
Wait what? no way Roblox is automatically adding new values in players datastore depending of their translation… this problem may come from your scripts, do you add new values in the datastore if the one you’re looking for doesn’t exist?
Using names for data is fine, you just have to avoid checking datas with Gui name or text, use local variables or attributes instead… also you should have a table or dictionnary in which there is all type of values the player datastore can contain, so you can check if the new value you want to add is valable, to avoid adding new “fake” values.
although now ill have to make sure players with the old gamepasses will store as the id
