Hey, I’m Mash I am new to roblox Scripting, I am making a game with my friend. And I followed a tutorial for a shop thing. The only problem is that the Data System is broken.
-
What do you want to achieve? I am trying to make a Shop System, that kind of like Piggy. This was from a tutorial But I changed it a lot.
-
What is the issue? My data wont save, plus it is setting my currencies to 0. (But it is set to 1000, if your data hasn’t been saved before it will be changed to 1000)
-
What solutions have you tried so far? I have tried re ordering all the code, I have tried to re write the code. I have tried to change the Data Store, but it doesn’t work. (And Yes I do have the studio API Studio thing enabled)
I am not very good with Data Stores at the moment.
This is a Script inside SeverScriptService. There is a Remote Event Inside replicated storage called “Send Data”
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("DataStoreReal")
-- List of all the Old Data Stores
-- MyDataStore Status: Not Being Used anymore, it was for testing
-- DataStoreReal Status: Currently Being Used
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local meat = Instance.new("IntValue")
meat.Name = "Meat"
meat.Value = 1000
meat.Parent = player
local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
money.Name = "Money"
money.Value = 1000
money.Parent = player
local gunInventory = Instance.new("Folder")
gunInventory.Name = "GunInventory"
gunInventory.Parent = player
local skinsInventory = Instance.new("Folder")
skinsInventory.Name = "SkinInventory"
skinsInventory.Parent = player
local equippedGun = Instance.new("StringValue")
equippedGun.Name = "EquippedGun"
equippedGun.Parent = player
local equippedSkin = Instance.new("StringValue")
equippedSkin.Name = "EquippedSkin"
equippedSkin.Parent = player
local data
local success, errorMsg = pcall(function()
data = DataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
end)
if data ~= nil then
-- Needs to load:
if data.EquippedGun then
equippedGun.Value = data.EquippedGun
end
if data.EquippedSkin then
equippedSkin.Value = data.EquippedSkin
end
if data.Meat then
meat.Value = data.meat
end
if data.Money then
money.Value = data.money
end
if data.Skins then
for i,v in pairs(data.Skins) do
local val = Instance.new("StringValue")
val.Name = v
val.Parent = skinsInventory
end
end
if data.Guns then
for i,v in pairs(data.Guns) do
local val = Instance.new("StringValue")
val.Name = v
val.Parent = gunInventory
end
end
end
game.ReplicatedStorage.SendData:FireClient(player,data)
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local data = {} -- Meat, Money, Skins/guns they own all get saved in here
data.Meat = player.Meat.Value
data.Money = player.Money.Value
data.EquippedSkin = player.EquippedSkin.Value
data.EquippedGun = player.EquippedGun.Value
data.Skins = {}
data.Guns = {}
for i,v in pairs(player.SkinInventory:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(data.Skins,v.Name)
print(v.Name)
end
for i,v in pairs(player.GunInventory:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(data.Guns,v.Name)
print(v.Name)
end
local success,errorMsg = pcall(function()
DataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId,data)
end)
if success then
print("Successfully Saved!")
end
end)
This is a local script inside a GUI. (Down the bottom is where the Remote event is picked up)
for i, v in pairs(data) do
local frame = createFrame(v.Name,v.Cost.Value,v,skins.Folder)
frame.Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local result = game.ReplicatedStorage.BuyItem:InvokeServer(v.Name,"skin")
if result == "bought" then
print("Bought Skin!")
frame.Button.Image = greenTick
frame.Cost.Text = "Owned"
elseif result == "equipped" then
for _, object in pairs(skins.Folder:GetChildren()) do
if object:IsA("Frame") and object:FindFirstChild("Cost") then
if game.Players.LocalPlayer.SkinInventory:FindFirstChild(object.Name) then
object.Cost.Text = "Owned"
end
end
end
frame.Button.Image = greenTick
frame.Cost.Text = "Equipped"
end
end)
end
end
function addGuns(data)
for i, v in pairs(data) do
local frame = createFrame(v.Name,v.Cost.Value,v,guns.Folder)
frame.Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local result = game.ReplicatedStorage.BuyItem:InvokeServer(v.Name,"gun")
if result == "bought" then
frame.Button.Image = greenTick
frame.Cost.Text = "Owned"
elseif result == "equipped" then
for _, object in pairs(guns.Folder:GetChildren()) do
if object:IsA("Frame") and object:FindFirstChild("Cost") then
if game.Players.LocalPlayer.GunInventory:FindFirstChild(object.Name) then
object.Cost.Text = "Owned"
end
end
end
frame.Button.Image = greenTick
frame.Cost.Text = "Equipped"
end
end)
end
end
game.ReplicatedStorage.SendData.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
addSkins(skinsData)
addGuns(gunsData)
end)
good luck with your project!
