Datastores are not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I wanted to use the same leaderboard saving script that was in my other game working and its not working. (Windows 10 OS [Operating System] - Roblox)
Since its gui-game, with not visible leaderboard and players won’t see it, i needed this for something other

Script:

Normal Script, Workspace

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local pdata = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("playerDatamogus23")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local value = Instance.new("IntValue")
	value.Name = "Times"
	value.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local data 
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		data = pdata:GetAsync(player.UserId) 
	end)
	
	if success then 
		value.Value = data
	else
		print("there was an error while getting your data")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		pdata:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats.Times.Value)
	end)
	
	if success then
		print("your data got saved wheres my thanks")
	else
		print("there was an error")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
	
end)

I already enabled Studio access to API services

Add this to your code and see if it fixes the problem:

game:BindToClose(function()
    task.wait(3)
end)
#3

Ik that i’m answering 2 hours after but i should assign whole code to this function?

When using BindToClose,
you’ll need to save their data there too.
[Loop through all players is a possible option]

As you did in the PlayerRemoving :

for _,Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do

   local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
	   pdata:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Times.Value)
   end)
	
   if success then
	   print("your data got saved wheres my thanks")
   else
	   print("there was an error")
	   warn(errormessage)
   end
end

Have you tried changing the value in the server side and not client side

#11

Yes i do

characters lol

#12

I just tested it out and it works nicely.

Notes:
1.In studio, data not always saves [ test it in-game].
2.Are you changing your time somewhere else in the game? If so, please show us where.

#13

What do you mean about changing my time somewhere else in game?
and i am testing it in game already

#14

Did you read this topic on data stores? Datastore Tutorial for Beginners or you got it from somewhere else?

#15

I probably found an error, with this script is everything okay, its something wrong with my testing system (just textbutton that adds value). When i am doing that in this script by adding while true do loop that sets value to old value + 1 everything is working. Thanks for your help I will try to make it work as I want.
