Datastore won't Save

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#22

The points are added with server scripts

#23

Here it’s working, I didn’t change anything in the script…

Is the script located in ServerScriptService?

#25

That’s very odd then. I’ve tried multiple times in my studio and it hasn’t worked

#26

yes its located in server script service

#27

Try launching the game again, and then waiting at least 10 seconds before stopping.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local WinsData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("WinsData")

local function leaderboardSetup(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	local Wins = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Wins.Name = "Wins"
	Wins.Value = 0
	Wins.Parent = leaderstats

	local Coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Coins.Name = "Coins"
	Coins.Value = 0
	Coins.Parent = leaderstats

	local data, data2
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		data = WinsData:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-wins")
		data2 = WinsData:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-coins")
	end)
	if success then
		print("Data Loaded!")
		Wins.Value = data
		Coins.Value = data2
	else
		print("Couldn't load Data!")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end

-- Connect the "leaderboardSetup()" function to the "PlayerAdded" event
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(leaderboardSetup)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	print("Data Saving...")
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		print("Starting Save")
		local winsSaved = WinsData:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-wins", player.leaderstats.Wins.Value)
		if not winsSaved then
			error("Failed to save wins for player "..player.Name)
		else
			print("wins saved")
		end
		local coinsSaved = WinsData:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-coins", player.leaderstats.Coins.Value)
		if not coinsSaved then
			error("Failed to save coins for player "..player.Name)
		else
			print("coins saved")
		end
	end)

	if success then
		print("Player Data Successfully Saved!")
	else
		print("Couldn't Save!")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end)

Remove game:BindToClose(wait), that’s probably what is giving you an error

#30

Removing BindToClose doesn’t help either

#31

I don’t see how that would be giving him an error although still go through with it because it doesn’t seem to be helping

#32

#33

It is working normally and perfectly… @EJQuik89

#35


Idk if my studio is bugged or what, but it refuses to work

#36

Don’t change it for the client…

#37

The Server does not Recognize Client Changes, Client Changes only affect the Player, you have to change it via Current Server, Command Line, or Developer Console.

On this tab click here:

And test again…

#39

It’s working perfectly, when you add points, you have to use the server side:

Since the script is server-side, if you change it locally it won’t work, because the information you changed is only sent to the client, so the server doesn’t receive that information.

An example when testing click here and switch to client:

For the server to receive information from the client, use remote event.

No, that would make your system vulnerable to Exploits.

Yes, but it is just an example.

#42

Still, It isnt a good idea to suggest the usage of it in this manner, The Client can be very Inaccurate with its information.
