Recently, I have followed a guide on how you can construct in the code-lines DataStore at Roblox Studio. I made the script within ServerScriptService and everything was structured properly:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local CoinsStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("CoinsStore")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local Coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
Coins.Name = "Coins"
Coins.Parent = leaderstats
local info
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
info = CoinsStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-Coins", player.leaderstats.Coins.Value)
end)
if success then
Coins.Value = info
else
print("Something went wrong obtaining the data.")
warn(errorMessage)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
CoinsStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-Coins", player.leaderstats.Coins.Value)
end)
if success then
print("CoinsStore = True")
else
print("CoinsStore = false")
warn(errorMessage)
end
end)
Furthermore, I also used this script for another model (located in the game.Workspace) to add one point to the leaderstats’ value. As testing the Baseplate, I encountered major problems for both statings that DataStore is not a valid member for Players.(player.Name).leaderstats:
I have changed this and it appears that it prints stating that it cannot save through the DataStore, plus still printing an error to the model’s script:
local Coin = script.Parent
local Sound = Coin["Coin Throws 7 (SFX)"]
local db = false
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Info1 = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 1, false, 0)
local Goals1 = {
Size = Vector3.new(2, 2, 0.401);
Transparency = 1
}
local Info2 = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 1, false, 0)
local Goals2 = {
Size = Vector3.new(3, 3, 0.602);
Transparency = 1
}
local CoinTween1 = TweenService:Create(Coin, Info1, Goals1)
local CoinTween2 = TweenService:Create(Coin, Info2, Goals2)
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
while task.wait(0.001) do
Coin.CFrame = Coin.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, 0.1, 0)
local function onTouched(Coin)
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Coin.Parent)
if not player then return end
if db == false then
db = true
local Coin = script.Parent
Coin.CanTouch = false
Coin.CanCollide = false
CoinTween1:Play()
player.leaderstats.Coins.Value = player.leaderstats.Coin.Value + 1
Sound:Play()
task.wait(5)
CoinTween2:Play()
db = false
end
end
Coin.Touched:Connect(onTouched)
end
task.wait(5)
Coin.Transparency = 0
Coin.CanTouch = true
Coin.CanCollide = true
Why are you using player.leaderstats.Coins.Value as the second value. GetAsync requires just the key, so putting the 2nd param is pointless and it contributing to the error.
That error is not possible if you made the changes I suggested, as the bit of code I marked for removal is the only place that mentions leaderstats.Coins.
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local Coins = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
Coins.Name = "Coins"
local success, Data = pcall(function()
return CoinsStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-Coins") -- Returns Data
end)
if success then -- if Accessed DataStores
if Data then -- if Player has Data
Coins.Value = Data
else -- if no Data found
print("No Data Found")
Coins.Value = 0
end
else -- If Failed to access DataStores
warn("Failed to Access DataStores")
-- maybe Kick the Player or Retry?
end
end)
