Datastoreservice bug

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I took a big break from coding and just got back. I am trying to make a table with all the players stats in the datastores. But for some odd reasons, I’m unable to set anything to the datastores.

Here is the snapet of code that I took from the API:

local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataStore = DSS:GetDataStore("PlayerData")

function fetchPlrData(plr)
	local success, data = pcall(function()
		dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
	end)
	print(plr.UserId,data)
end

function setPlrData(plr)
	local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		dataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId,10)
	end)
	print(plr.UserId)
end


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local plrData = fetchPlrData(plr)
	if not plrData then
		plrData = {Experience=0,Money=0}
	end
	local statsClone = statsFolder:Clone()
	statsClone.Parent = plr
	statsClone.Experience.Value = plrData.Experience
	statsClone.Money.Value = plrData.Money
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	setPlrData(plr)
end)
game:BindToClose(function()
	wait(1)
end)

This is the output:
00:13:42.745 1360353834 nil - Server - Script:9
00:13:48.307 Disconnect from ::ffff:127.0.0.1|60106 - Studio
00:13:48.666 1360353834 - Server

And I did turn on Studio Access to API services.
Data is fetched upon entering the game and saved when leaving. I also added a BindToClose timer to give time to the script to save the datastore

Try returning the dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId).

Wow im lost. I removed the return to do some testing, but now that you asked, it works when I add it back! I have no idea what went wrong and whats different between having return or not but it worked. Thanks

Another question:

function fetchPlrData(plr)
	local success, data = pcall(function()
		return dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
	end)
end

function setPlrData(plr)
	local data = {plr.leaderstats.Experience.Value,plr.leaderstats.Money.Value}
	print(data)
	local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		dataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId,data)
	end)
	if not success then
		print(errorMessage)
	end
end

Now when I try to add a table to save in the datastore, it always reads as nil.

print(data)
local success, err
local tries = 5

repeat
	success, err = pcall(function()
		allDataStore:SetAsync("User_"..plr.UserId, data)
	end)
	
	tries -= 1
	if not success then
		warn(err)
		task.wait(2)
	end
until success or tries==1
	
if not success then
	warn("Unable to save data of "..plr.Name)
end

So I have this DataStore setup that tries saving multiple times when a player leaves in case it accidentally errors. I’m not sure if this setup would solve your problem but it solved mine when my data would sometimes not save.
