I just used this datastore right now, but when i use this code it just add values to leaderstats and it prints data has been saved but when i rejoin its still 0 value, not saved.
The problem is it’s a LocalScript. Anything changed on the client will only change for that client. You need to change the value on the server for it to save.
-- // Assigning variables //
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("MyDataStore") -- This can be changed to whatever you want
local function saveData(player) -- The functions that saves data
local tableToSave = {
player.leaderstats.Strength.Value; -- First value from the table
player.leaderstats.Wins.Value -- Second value from the table
}
local success, err = pcall(function()
dataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, tableToSave) -- Save the data with the player UserId, and the table we wanna save
end)
if success then -- If the data has been saved
print("Data has been saved!")
else -- Else if the save failed
print("Data hasn't been saved!")
warn(err)
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- When a player joins the game
-- // Assigning player stats //
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local Strength = Instance.new("IntValue")
Strength.Name = "Strength"
Strength.Parent = leaderstats
local Wins = Instance.new("IntValue")
Wins.Name = "Wins"
Wins.Parent = leaderstats
local data -- We will define the data here so we can use it later, this data is the table we saved
local success, err = pcall(function()
data = dataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) -- Get the data from the datastore
end)
if success and data then -- If there were no errors and player loaded the data
Strength.Value = data[1] -- Set the money to the first value of the table (data)
Wins.Value = data[2] -- Set the coins to the second value of the table (data)
else -- The player didn't load in the data, and probably is a new player
print("The player has no data!") -- The default will be set to 0
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) -- When a player leaves
local success, err = pcall(function()
saveData(player) -- Save the data
end)
if success then
print("Data has been saved")
else
print("Data has not been saved!")
end
end)
game:BindToClose(function() -- When the server shuts down
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do -- Loop through all the players
local success, err = pcall(function()
saveData(player) -- Save the data
end)
if success then
print("Data has been saved")
else
print("Data has not been saved!")
end
