Datastore2 not saving character store

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

hello im trying to make datastore2 save characters like Defend The Train but when i do that it doesnt actually save and just set it to Hat

this is the code

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local Hats = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst"):WaitForChild("Hats")
local DataStore2 = require(ServerScriptService.DataStore2)
-- Combine every key you use. This will eventually be the default, but for now read the "Gotchas" section to understand why we need this.
DataStore2.Combine("loldata", "points")
DataStore2.Combine("loldata","char")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local DefaultCharacter = {
		Hats.Hat, --hat 1
		nil, -- hat 2
		nil, -- hat 3
		nil, -- torso color
		nil -- shirt graphic
	}
	local pointsStore = DataStore2("points", player)
    local characterstore = DataStore2("char",player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	local characterdata = characterstore:Get(DefaultCharacter)
	local Char = player.Character
	print('Loading character...')
	for i,v in ipairs(characterdata) do
		print(i)
		print(v)
		if v ~= nil then
			if v:IsA('Accessory') then
				v:Clone().Parent = Char
				if i == 4 then
					Char:WaitForChild("Torso").Color = v
				elseif i == 5  then
					Char:WaitForChild("Shirt Graphic").Graphic = v
				end
			end
		end
	end
	local points = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	points.Name = "Points"
	points.Value = pointsStore:Get(0) -- The "0" means that by default, they'll have 0 points
	points.Parent = leaderstats
	pointsStore:OnUpdate(function(newPoints)
		-- This function runs every time the value inside the data store changes.
		points.Value = newPoints
	end)
	characterstore:OnUpdate(function(newChar)
		if newChar ~= characterdata then
	    characterdata = newChar
		for i,v in ipairs(Char:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA("Accessory") then
				v:Destroy()
			end
		end 
		print('Loading character...')
		--characterstore:Set(characterdata)
		for i,v in ipairs(characterdata) do
			print(i)
			print(v)
			if v ~= nil then
				if v:IsA('Accessory') then
					v:Clone().Parent = Char
					if i == 4 then
						Char:WaitForChild("Torso").Color = v
					elseif i == 5  then
						Char:WaitForChild("Shirt Graphic").Graphic = v
					end
				end
			end
			end
			end
	end)
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	task.defer(function()
		while task.wait(100) do
			characterdata:Set(characterdata)
		end
	end) 
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local characterstore = DataStore2("char",player)
	local characterdata = characterstore:Get()
	characterstore:Set(characterdata)
	print(characterdata)
end)

EDIT: i forgot to add the hat giver

task.wait(10)
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local DataStore2 = require(ServerScriptService.DataStore2)
DataStore2.Combine("loldata","char")
local player = game.Players.pumpkyrofl
local characterstore = DataStore2("char",player)
local characterdata = characterstore:Get()
workspace.duck.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
		local clone = table.clone(characterdata)
		clone[1] = game.ReplicatedFirst.Hats.RubberDuckie
		characterstore:Set(clone)
	end
end)
workspace.none.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
		local clone = table.clone(characterdata)
		clone[1] = game.ReplicatedFirst.Hats.Hat
		characterstore:Set(clone)
	end
end)

strangely im still trying to figure the issue out it still doesnt save… what is causing this…
also bump.

#3

are you getting an error on your output?

#4

no theres no errors it just says everything is fine but when i join it back it sets my accessory back to Hat instead of the rubbie duckie

#5

nevermind the console says error when player left! Invalid at input.char.1 because: Invalid type (Instance)

#6

You cannot directly save objects to datastores. Does this module helps to save objects to datastores ? Does this module have functions that make easier to use datastores?

#7

its datastore2 How to use DataStore2 - Data Store caching and data loss prevention
but the actual issue is that it doesnt save when i try to do so, which means my character will reset to default

#8

is there a way to fix

error when player left! Invalid at input.characterok.1 because: Invalid type (Instance)

thats whats causing the data problems probably…
bump.
the script i heavily editted:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local Hats = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst"):WaitForChild("Hats")
local DataStore2 = require(ServerScriptService.DataStore2)
-- Combine every key you use. This will eventually be the default, but for now read the "Gotchas" section to understand why we need this.
DataStore2.Combine("ughdata", "points")
DataStore2.Combine("ughdata","characterok")
local DefaultCharacter = {
	Hats.Hat, --hat 1
	nil, -- hat 2
	nil, -- hat 3
	nil, -- torso color
	nil -- shirt graphic
}
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local pointsStore = DataStore2("points", player)
	local characterstore = DataStore2("characterok",player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	local characterdata = characterstore:GetTable(DefaultCharacter)
	local Char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	print('Loading character...')
	for i,v in ipairs(characterdata) do
		print(i)
		print(v)
		if v ~= nil then
			if v:IsA('Accessory') then
				v:Clone().Parent = Char
				if i == 4 then
					Char:WaitForChild("Torso").Color = v
				elseif i == 5  then
					Char:WaitForChild("Shirt Graphic").Graphic = v
				end
			end
		end
	end
	local points = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	points.Name = "Points"
	points.Value = pointsStore:Get(0) -- The "0" means that by default, they'll have 0 points
	points.Parent = leaderstats
	pointsStore:OnUpdate(function(newPoints)
		-- This function runs every time the value inside the data store changes.
		points.Value = newPoints
	end)
	characterstore:OnUpdate(function(newChardata)
		characterdata = newChardata
			for i,v in ipairs(Char:GetChildren()) do
				if v:IsA("Accessory") then
					v:Destroy()
				end
			end 
			print('Loading character...')
			--characterstore:Set(characterdata)
			for i,v in ipairs(characterdata) do
				print(i,v)
				if v ~= nil then
					if v:IsA('Accessory') then
						v:Clone().Parent = Char
						if i == 4 then
							Char:WaitForChild("Torso").Color = v
						elseif i == 5  then
							Char:WaitForChild("Shirt Graphic").Graphic = v
						end
					end
				end
			end
	end)
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	task.defer(function()
		while task.wait(100) do
			characterstore:Set(characterdata)
		end
	end) 
end)
