For context, I’m creating a tower defense game through a tutorial by GnomeCode, for reference, I’m on the last episode. I’m not fully sticking to the tutorial as I’ve made some differences like GUI and stuff. Anyways…
I’ve been stuck on a problem where the gems awarded are not being given to the users in the Lobby.
This is the DataStore script, in the “SavaData” function you can see where the gems are being awarded. This script should deal with all thing relating to data
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
--local towers = require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("TowerShop"))
local database = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("database")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local functions = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Fun ctions")
local events = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events")
local getDataFunc = functions:WaitForChild("GetData")
local exitEvent = events:WaitForChild("return")
local MAX_SELECTED_TOWERS = 5
local data = {
}
local defaultData = {
["Gems"] = 100,
["SelectedTowers"] = {"Cutler"},
["OwnedTowers"] = {"Cutler", "Gunslinger"}
}
local function LoadData(player)
local success = nil
local playerData = nil
local attempt = 1
while not success and attempt < 4 do
success, playerData = pcall(function()
return database:GetAsync(player.UserId)
end)
if not success then
attempt += 1
warn(playerData)
task.wait()
end
end
--[[ Repeat until is often unreliable
repeat
until
]]
if success then
print("Data Loaded Successfully") --Why connection established??
if not playerData then
print("New player, giving default data")
playerData= {
["Gems"] = 100,
["SelectedTowers"] = {"Cutler"},
["OwnedTowers"] = {"Cutler", "Gunslinger"}
}
end
data[player.UserId] = playerData
else
warn("Unable to get data for player", player.UserId)
player:Kick("There was a problem loading your data! Message the developer on Roblox if this problem continues!")
end
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(LoadData)
local function SaveData(player)
if data[player.UserId] then
local success = nil
local playerData = nil
local attempt = 1
local info = workspace.info
local gems = math.round((info.wave / 2) * 10)
if info.message.Value == "Victory!" then
gems = 200
end
data[player.UserId].Gems = gems
print("pLAYERS GOT", gems)
while not success and attempt < 4 do
success, playerData = pcall(function()
database:SetAsync(player.UserId, data[player.UserId])
--[[ UpdateAsync overcomplicates things in my opinion
return database:UpdateAsync(player.UserId, function()
return data[player.UserId]
end)
]]
end)
if not success then
attempt += 1
warn(playerData)
task.wait()
end
end
--[[ Again repeat until is often unreliable
repeat
until success == true or attempt == 3
]]
if success then
print("Data saved successfully")
else
warn("Unable to save data for", player.UserId)
end
else
warn("No Data for", player.UserId)
end
end
exitEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
SaveData(plr)
data[plr.UserId] = nil
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
end)
game:BindToClose(function()
if not RunService:IsStudio() then
for index, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
task.spawn(function()
SaveData(player)
end)
end
else
print("Shutting down inside the studio")
end
end)
getDataFunc.OnServerInvoke = function(player)
return data[player.UserId]
end
Maybe im doing something wrong? I haven’t gotten help in any other server so the devforum is my last resort!!!
