In each of the different parts(places) of my game (part 1, part 2, part 3) i need only the respective values to be in leaderstats:
How can i go about editing the script so that i can easily make those changes for each Part of my game without ruining the data saves?
You’re going to have to load all the data anyways to keep it persistent, so you can keep it as is.
If you want to hide the leaderstats though, you can do this:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("playerData")
local defaultData = {
leaderstats = {
["Deaths I"] = 0,
["Escapes I"] = 0
},
storedData = {
["Deaths II"] = 0,
["Escapes II"] = 0,
["Deaths III"] = 0,
["Escapes III"] = 0
}
}
local leaderstatsName = game.PlaceId == firstPlace and "leaderstats" or "folder"
local function SaveData(player, data)
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
playerDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, data)
end)
if not success then
warn(errorMessage)
end
end
local function OnPlayerRemoving(player)
local data = defaultData
for folderName, folderValues in defaultData do
local folder = player[folderName == "leaderstats" and leaderstatsName or folderName]
for valueName, _ in folderValues do
data[folderName][valueName] = folder[valueName].Value
end
end
SaveData(player, data)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local playerData = playerDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or defaultData
for folderName, folderValues in defaultData do
local folder = Instance.new("Folder")
folder.Name = folderName == "leaderstats" and leaderstatsName or folderName
for valueName, _ in folderValues do
local intValue = Instance.new("IntValue")
intValue.Name = valueName
intValue.Value = playerData[folderName][valueName]
intValue.Parent = folder
end
folder.Parent = player
end
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(OnPlayerRemoving)
game:BindToClose(function()
for i, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
task.spawn(OnPlayerRemoving, player)
end
end)
When i go to my second place, for example, though it doesn’t load my saved Part 1 values.
Here’s the code for the second place:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("playerData")
local defaultData = {
leaderstats = {
["Deaths II"] = 0,
["Escapes II"] = 0,
},
storedData = {
["Deaths I"] = 0,
["Escapes I"] = 0,
["Deaths III"] = 0,
["Escapes III"] = 0
}
}
local leaderstatsName = game.PlaceId == myreal2ndplaceidishere and "leaderstats" or "folder"
local function SaveData(player, data)
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
playerDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, data)
end)
if not success then
warn(errorMessage)
end
end
local function OnPlayerRemoving(player)
local data = defaultData
for folderName, folderValues in defaultData do
local folder = player[folderName == "leaderstats" and leaderstatsName or folderName]
for valueName, _ in folderValues do
data[folderName][valueName] = folder[valueName].Value
end
end
SaveData(player, data)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local playerData = playerDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or defaultData
for folderName, folderValues in defaultData do
local folder = Instance.new("Folder")
folder.Name = folderName == "leaderstats" and leaderstatsName or folderName
for valueName, _ in folderValues do
local intValue = Instance.new("IntValue")
intValue.Name = valueName
intValue.Value = playerData[folderName][valueName]
intValue.Parent = folder
end
folder.Parent = player
end
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(OnPlayerRemoving)
game:BindToClose(function()
for i, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
task.spawn(OnPlayerRemoving, player)
end
end)Yeah, is that not what you wanted the script to do?
If you want everything to load, use the original script here:
That is what i want, but when i check the storedData folder inside of the Player, where Deaths1, Escapes1, Deaths3, & Escapes3 should all be, they’re in the folder but their values are all at zero, so they didn’t save from place 1 or place 3. I’m trying to get all of the data to transfer to the other places because in my Lobby place i have leaderboards for each of the different values.
Oh, I just realized you did it wrong. If you want the leaderstats to only show the current world’s count, then we have to do something different.
Code:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("playerData")
local defaultData = {
["Deaths I"] = 0,
["Escapes I"] = 0,
["Deaths II"] = 0,
["Escapes II"] = 0,
["Deaths III"] = 0,
["Escapes III"] = 0
}
local leaderstatValues = {"Death I", "Escapes I"} -- Change this depending on level
local function SaveData(player, data)
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
playerDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, data)
end)
if not success then
warn(errorMessage)
end
end
local function OnPlayerRemoving(player)
local leaderstats = player.leaderstats
local storedData = player.storedData
local data = {}
for valueName, _ in defaultData do
data[valueName] = table.find(leaderstatValues, valueName) and leaderstats[valueName].Value or storedData[valueName].Value
end
SaveData(player, data)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local playerData = playerDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or defaultData
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local storedData = Instance.new("Folder")
storedData.Name = "storedData"
for valueName, _ in defaultData do
local intValue = Instance.new("IntValue")
intValue.Name = valueName
intValue.Value = playerData[valueName]
intValue.Parent = table.find(leaderstatValues, valueName) and leaderstats or storedData
end
leaderstats.Parent = player
storedData.Parent = player
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(OnPlayerRemoving)
game:BindToClose(function()
for i, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
task.spawn(OnPlayerRemoving, player)
end
end)
You will have to reset your data again.
Do i need to reset everybody’s data as well? because there are a couple of other people that have tested my game out and they have data. Is there a way to reset all data? if that’s what i need to do?
You can use this in your command bar:
local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DSS:GetDataStore("playerData")
local KeysPages = DataStore:ListKeysAsync()
while true do
local CurrentKeysPage = KeysPages:GetCurrentPage()
for j, Key in pairs(CurrentKeysPage) do
DataStore:RemoveAsync(Key.KeyName)
end
if KeysPages.IsFinished then break end
KeysPages:AdvanceToNextPageAsync()
end
If you want me to implement a way that preserves their data, tell me. There will be a performance cost though.
The data still isn’t saving or transferring.
Code:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("playerData")
local defaultData = {
["Deaths I"] = 0,
["Escapes I"] = 0,
["Deaths II"] = 0,
["Escapes II"] = 0,
["Deaths III"] = 0,
["Escapes III"] = 0
}
local leaderstatValues = {"Deaths I", "Escapes I"} -- Change this depending on level
local function SaveData(player, data)
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
playerDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, data)
end)
if not success then
warn(errorMessage)
end
end
local function OnPlayerRemoving(player)
local leaderstats = player.leaderstats
local storedData = player.storedData
local data = {}
for valueName, _ in defaultData do
data[valueName] = table.find(leaderstatValues, valueName) and leaderstats[valueName] or storedData[valueName]
end
SaveData(player, data)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local playerData = playerDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or defaultData
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local storedData = Instance.new("Folder")
storedData.Name = "storedData"
for valueName, _ in defaultData do
local intValue = Instance.new("IntValue")
intValue.Name = valueName
intValue.Value = playerData[valueName]
intValue.Parent = table.find(leaderstatValues, valueName) and leaderstats or storedData
end
leaderstats.Parent = player
storedData.Parent = player
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(OnPlayerRemoving)
game:BindToClose(function()
for i, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
task.spawn(OnPlayerRemoving, player)
end
end)
You’re testing this ingame right? If so, does it save when you leave and rejoin for place one?
Yes, i tested it ingame. It doesn’t save when i leave and rejoin place one.
Are there any errors or warnings?
You only ran the command once right?
I ran the command for myself a couple of times on accident lol. And i ran the one that resets all datastores once.
Here’s what’s in the Output:
Oops, I made a typo. Check my edited code.
which code did you edit? i can’t tell lol
i replace the code with that and its still not working. Wait… im testing in roblox studio right now and when i open up the player in the explorer there are two leaderstats folders in there, one of them has the saved values and the other has zero values.
Edit: i accidentally had another script that was creating a leaderstats folder and i forgot to delete it, so im gonna test in Roblox again quick.
IT WORKS FINALLY THANK YOU SO MUCH! especially for your quick responses!!!
Here’s the working code:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("playerData")
local defaultData = {
["Deaths I"] = 0,
["Escapes I"] = 0,
["Deaths II"] = 0,
["Escapes II"] = 0,
["Deaths III"] = 0,
["Escapes III"] = 0
}
local leaderstatValues = {"Deaths I", "Escapes I"}
local function SaveData(player, data)
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
playerDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, data)
end)
if not success then
warn(errorMessage)
end
end
local function OnPlayerRemoving(player)
local leaderstats = player.leaderstats
local storedData = player.storedData
local data = {}
for valueName, _ in defaultData do
data[valueName] = table.find(leaderstatValues, valueName) and leaderstats[valueName].Value or storedData[valueName].Value
end
SaveData(player, data)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local playerData = playerDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or defaultData
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local storedData = Instance.new("Folder")
storedData.Name = "storedData"
for valueName, _ in defaultData do
local intValue = Instance.new("IntValue")
intValue.Name = valueName
intValue.Value = playerData[valueName]
intValue.Parent = table.find(leaderstatValues, valueName) and leaderstats or storedData
end
leaderstats.Parent = player
storedData.Parent = player
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(OnPlayerRemoving)
game:BindToClose(function()
for i, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
task.spawn(OnPlayerRemoving, player)
end
end)
No problem, I would appreciate the solution though.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Have a good day/night!
Of course!! Thank you so much!
