Getting datastore value to ordereddatastore

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

My issue is that, I have a datastore script that creates a leaderstat folder inside a player, and to save the intvalue inside it, titled as Minutes. The script is successful and fully functional. The issuse comes in ordered datastore. I managed to script a ordered datastore to create a physical leaderboard that defines the person that has the most play-time / minutes in the game. Script is fully functional, but the problem with it is that we cannot detect the minute value from the original datastore script and put it on the leaderboard. And I don’t know what to do in result.

The regular datastore;

--{| Services |}--

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("TimeStatus")

--{| Functions |}--

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)

    --|| LeaderStats ||--

    local Leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    Leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    Leaderstats.Parent = Player

    local Minutes = Instance.new("IntValue")
    Minutes.Name = "Minutes" -- IntValue Title.
    Minutes.Value = 0 -- Default Value.
    Minutes.Parent = Player.leaderstats

    --{|| DataStore ||}--

    local Data = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId) -- Get Data.

    if type(Data) ~= "table" then Data = nil end
    if Data then Minutes.Value = Data.Minutes end

    coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
        while true do
            wait(60) -- Wait every minute.
            Minutes.Value = Minutes.Value + 1
        end
    end))
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
    DataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId,{Minutes = Player.leaderstats.Minutes.Value})
end)

The ordered datastore;

--||Services||-

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

-- Settings [Variables]

local Update_Time = 15

--||Variables||--

local TimeStatusDStore = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("Minutes")
local MostPlayedGUI = workspace.Boards.MostPlayed.MostPlayedGUI
local MP_List = MostPlayedGUI.Status_List
local BestEmployee = workspace.Boards.BestEmployee.MostPlayedPortrait

--||Functions||--

local function GetItems()
    local Data = TimeStatusDStore:GetSortedAsync(false, 10)
    local TopList = Data:GetCurrentPage()
    
    for rank, data in ipairs(TopList) do
        local UserId = data.key
        local Value = data.value
        local Username = "[Not Avaliable.]"
        local UserImg = "rbxasset://textures/ui/GuiImagePlaceholder.png"
        
        local Success, ErrorMessage = pcall(function()
            Username = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(UserId)
            UserImg = game.Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(UserId, Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420)
        end)
        
        if rank == 1 then
            BestEmployee.MainFrame.Player_Title.Text = UserId
            BestEmployee.MainFrame.Player_Image.Image = UserImg
        end
        
        MP_List["PlayerFrame_".. rank].Player_Title.Text = UserId
        MP_List["PlayerFrame_".. rank].Play_Time.Text = Value .. " Minutes."
        MP_List["PlayerFrame_".. rank].Player_Image.Image = UserImg
    end
end

while true do
    wait(Update_Time)
    for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        local Stat = v.leaderstats:WaitForChild("Minutes")
        if Stat then pcall(function() TimeStatusDStore:UpdateAsync(v.UserId, function(Value) return tonumber(Stat) end) end) end
        GetItems()
    end
end

Does anyone have a solution to this madness.

Use GetAsync() to get the value from the original datastore and then UpdateAsync()/SetAsync() on the ordered datastore to move the value there.
