Help with saving leaderstats!

[mbesty]

Need help saving these folders and values as I have watched numerous tutorials and still don’t know how to save them,
the reason I have a folder inside of the leaderstats is because I want that value in that folder to not be visible.
(There is not much to this script because I just wanted to show you guys the parts that I want to be saved)

	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local stat = Instance.new("Folder")
	stat.Name = "stat"
	stat.Parent = leaderstats

	local Clicks = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Clicks.Name = "Clicks"
	Clicks.Parent = leaderstats

	local Multiplier = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Multiplier.Name = "Multiplier"
	Multiplier.Parent = stat

Any help appreciated!

I’d recommend you checking the Dev Wiki, you could see there a full guide on DataStore.
In addition to that, you could watch some tutorials on youtube, there are so many.
If that’s not enough, you could watch these posts that’ve been asked before

How do I make leaderstats save?

Hi! This is the script I was making earlier today but, I want it to save everytime the player leaves the game. Script: game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) local leaderstats = Instance.new(“Folder”) leaderstats.Name = “leaderstats” leaderstats.Parent = player local cash = Instance.new("NumberValue") cash.Name = "Cash" cash.Value = 0 cash.Parent = leaderstats player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character) Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function(Died) local creator = Cha…

Data Stores

Best of luck!

There are various ways you could save your data, as well as various tutorials on YouTube and Posts on the forum,

Hope you find a satisfiying solution!

You could shorten this and use tables to store your data in ( each one will have a unique key)

I believe that should work, let me know if otherwise!

Thats pretty much my script except without the BindToClose, which is crucial when working with DataStores.

[Xekvern (XekIgnacio)]

You can try this.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService('DataStoreService')
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore('Save_DataStore1')

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)

    -- Data Folder inside the Player instead of being inside leaderstats folder
	local  DataFolder = Instance.new('Folder')
	 DataFolder.Name = 'DataFolder'
	 DataFolder.Parent = Player
	
	local Clicks = Instance.new('IntValue', DataFolder)
	Clicks.Name = 'Clicks'
	
	local Multiplier = Instance.new('IntValue', DataFolder)
	Multiplier.Name = 'Multiplier'

	local playerkey = "id_"..player.UserId
	local data = playerDataStore:GetAsync(playerkey)
	if data then 
		Clicks.Value = data['Clicks']
		Multiplier.Value = data['Multiplier']
	else
		Clicks.Value = 0
		Multiplier.Value = 0
	end
end)

-- Creating Multiple Table Values
local function create_table(player)
	local player_stats = {}
	
	for _, stat in pairs(player.DataFolder:GetChildren()) do
		player_stats[stat.Name] = stat.Value
	end
	return player_stats

end

local function SaveData(player)
	print('Saving...')
	local playerkey = "id_"..player.UserId
	local player_stats = create_table(player)
	
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		playerDataStore:SetAsync(playerkey, player_stats)
	end)
	if success  then
		print('SUCCESSFULLY SAVED DATA!')
	else 
		print('FAILED TO SAVE THE DATA!')
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
	SaveData(player)
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
	wait(5)
	for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		SaveData(player)
	end
end)

could prob save multiple datas

[Xekvern (XekIgnacio)]

just create leaderstats folder again and make the same values and get the values from the datafolder

For Example:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local multipliers = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
	multipliers.Name = "Multipliers"
	
	local clicks = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
	clicks.Name = "Clicks"
	
	
	while wait() do
		wait(1)
		multipliers.Value = player.DataFolder.Multipliers.Value
	end
	
	while wait() do
		wait(1)
		clicks.Value = player.DataFolder.Clicks.Value
	end
	
end)

I recommend pre-constructing the leaderstats Folder.

Too many times have I seen people hard-code leaderstats. It’s horrible for readability. Pre-constructing the Folder will vastly clean up your program as it simplifies to a single Instance:Clone call. Modularity and visualization is also improved.

FYI, the Parent property of leaderstats should be the last one set.

How to use Datastore-Service correctly and fix dataloss

Hello, developers! I’ve been wanting to teach people on how to use Datastore-Service correctly.

In this tutorial, I will be showing you how to; Stop dataloss, Learn where and when to save, Save custom items (In section 1, will update this post on how to save other custom items) If you ar…
