Datastore wont save data

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hey, i am currently working on an obby and i am trying to make it so the stage saves when you leave, but it isn’t saving. Nothing is appearing in the output and I’m not sure on what to do.

The script:

local saveStage = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("saveStageService")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local Stage = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
	Stage.Name = "Stage"
	Stage.Value = 1
	
	local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
	
	local data
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		data = saveStage:GetAsync(playerUserId)
	end)
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
	
	local data = player.leaderstats.Stage.Value
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		saveStage:SetAsync(playerUserId, data)
		
	end)
	if success then
		print("Saved stage")
	else
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end)````

Are there any scripts that attempt to change the value? I also had this problem before so if you want the code I used then I can give it to you!

Well you get the “data”, but you never use it. Just do this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local Stage = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
	Stage.Name = "Stage"
	Stage.Value = 1
	
	local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
	
	local data
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		data = saveStage:GetAsync(playerUserId)
	end)
    if data then
        Stage.Value = data 
    end
end)

Code I used for my obby:

local dss = game:GetService(“DataStoreService”)
local obbyDS = dss:GetDataStore(“ObbyData1”)

local checkpoints = workspace.Checkpoints

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

local obbyData = obbyDS:GetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-obbyStageProgress")

local ls = Instance.new("Folder")
ls.Name = "leaderstats"
ls.Parent = plr
	
local stage = Instance.new("StringValue")
stage.Name = "Stage"
stage.Value = obbyData or 1
stage.Parent = ls

local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

char:waitForChild("HumanoidRootPart"):GetPropertyChangedSignal("CFrame")

char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = checkpoints[stage.Value].CFrame

char.Humanoid.Touched:Connect(function(touch)

	if touch.Parent == checkpoints then
		if (tonumber(touch.Name) and tonumber(touch.Name) > tonumber(stage.Value)) or touch.Name == "End" then
			stage.Value = touch.Name

			pcall(function()
				obbyDS:SetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-obbyStageProgress", plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value)
			end)
		end
	end
end)

plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)

	local hrp = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")       
	local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

	hrp:GetPropertyChangedSignal("CFrame"):Wait()

	hrp.CFrame = checkpoints[stage.Value].CFrame

	humanoid.Touched:Connect(function(touch)

		if touch.Parent == checkpoints then
			if (tonumber(touch.Name) and tonumber(touch.Name) > tonumber(stage.Value)) or touch.Name == "End" then
				stage.Value = touch.Name

				pcall(function()

					obbyDS:SetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-obbyStageProgress", plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value)
				end)
			end
		end
	end)
end)

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)

pcall(function()

	obbyDS:SetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-obbyStageProgress", plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value)
end)

end)

For some reason my copy and paste of the code screwed up so sorry in advance.

Somebody explained it before: when closing the game, the game will prioritize on closing the game and will most likely disable some scripts (correct me if I’m wrong). So to save data anyway, you need to use game:BindToClose(). It would look like this:

game:BindToClose(function()
	for i,player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId

		local data = player.leaderstats.Stage.Value

		local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
			saveStage:SetAsync(playerUserId, data)

		end)
		if success then
			print("Saved stage")
		else
			warn(errormessage)
		end
	end
end
