Heya, I fixed the SetPlayerData function. Now I am stuck on the exitdata function. The fix for the SetPlayerData was just a typo, but I see nothing wrong with my exit function.
local PlayerData = {}
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("LeTestDatas")
local data = {
['Points'] = 0,
['EXP'] = 0,
['MaxEXP'] = 100,
['Defense'] = 0,
['Strength'] = 0,
['Agility'] = 0,
['Speed'] = 0,
['MaxHealth'] = 150
}
local strings = {
['testdatastring'] = "ABC"
}
local function SetPlayerData(Player)
local plrdata = nil
local playerUserId = 'Player_'..Player.UserId
local leaderstats = Instance.new('Folder')
leaderstats.Name = 'leaderstats'
leaderstats.Parent = Player
for stat, value in pairs(data) do
local NumStats = Instance.new('IntValue')
NumStats.Name = stat
NumStats.Value = value
NumStats.Parent = leaderstats
end
local success, err = pcall(function()
plrdata = DataStore:GetAsync(playerUserId)
end)
if success then
print('yoyo')
elseif err then
warn('yikes!')
end
if plrdata then
for stat, value in pairs(data) do
Player.leaderstats[stat].Value = value
end
print('hey')
else
warn('oh noes')
end
end
local function exitdata(Player)
local datatable2 = {}
local playerUserId = "Player_"..Player.UserId
for stat, value in pairs(Player.leaderstats:GetChildren()) do
datatable2[value] = value.Value
end
local success = pcall(function()
DataStore:UpdateAsync(playerUserId)
end)
if success then
print("YESSIR")
else
warn(":(")
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(SetPlayerData)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(exitdata)
return PlayerData
Help would be appreciated I know I’m missing something obvious.
Well, in your SetPlayerData you’re not saving any values to the datastore, but trying to retrieve possibly existing data (might just be confusing function namecalling).
And in your exitdata, the second argument (which is supposed to be a function) to the :UpdateAsync method is empty… meaning the datastore has no idea on how to update the supposedly existing datastore.
Alright. So in your SetPlayerData function, you get to know that a save does not currently exist for the player, meaning that you need to set a save (usually a default value/array which you have predefined) for the said player using the :SetAsync method.
In the SetPlayerData, how would I save the values? I’m saving them in a table so I might be saving it the wrong way. I don’t like to use SetAsync much cause it has lead to some, data loss in the past. But if necessary, I’ll use it.
As for the exit what do you mean by it’s empty? The parameters are there.
DataStore:UpdateAsync(playerUserId)okay so, is cool you update the data but, with what value/string ??
This is more good i tink DataStore:UpdateAsync(playerUserId,"Hey im saved in the player data")
If is not work try this
local function saveValues(player)
local saveData = {}
local StatsFile = player.leaderstats
for i,v in pairs(StatsFile:GetChildren()) do
saveData[#saveData + 1] = v.Name
saveData[#saveData + 1] = v.Value
end
ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, saveData) -- I know is not the best use you can lost data
end
After, saving in roblox studio don’t work and can cose error so use this for verify is you are in studio or not before try to save so you can use IsStudio
if not game:GetService("RunService"):IsStudio() then
end
After all that, you need to save when the server have a shutdown request for prevent data lost so you can use BindToClose
No. This is definitely not what the method expects as its second argument. The second argument to :UpdateAsync, as I already said, is supposed to be a function.
Well, when I did try and use a function for updateasync, I got no errors in the output. On the contrary, I got nothing to print the successful save of the datastore. I have an updated one, I’ve tried using different methods to updateasync but they don’t work. Even tried wrapping the async inside a pcall, but, ya know… It didn’t work. That just gave me a warning.
