So i’ve been looking forward on DataStore2 to learn how it works since people say it is a better efficient way to store data, then i went googling around and found this tutorial: Saving Stats with DataStore2 (DEPRECATED)
I’ve done everything it says on the tutorial but yet it doesn’t work and i don’t get any errors on the output neither.
What i want to do is:
When a player touch a specific part, this part will access the “Gold” Data and give the player +1 on it’s value, but when i check the values on the player nothing changes at all, i manually changed then and even that didn’t work even though it shows in the output that it saved the data ( 
)
Here is was my scripts look like:
DataStore Script:
local DataStore2 = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService").DataStore2) -- Require the DataStore Module using the name
local MainKey = "Key1"
DataStore2.Combine(MainKey, "Stats")
local function CreateDataTable()
local PlayerData = {
Stats = {
["Gold"] = 0;
["Silver"] = 0;
["Bronze"] = 0;
["Rushies"] = 0;
["Level"] = 1;
["Exp"] = 0;
["MaxExp"] = 100;
};
}
return PlayerData
end
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) -- WHEN PLAYER JOINS --
local PlayerData = DataStore2(MainKey, plr):Get(CreateDataTable()) -- GetPlayersDataTable
local Folder = Instance.new("Folder") -- CURRENT STATS --
Folder.Name = "PlayerStats"
local Gold = Instance.new("IntValue")
Gold.Name = "Gold"
local Silver = Instance.new("IntValue")
Silver.Name = "Silver"
local Bronze = Instance.new("IntValue")
Bronze.Name = "Bronze"
local Rushies = Instance.new("IntValue")
Rushies.Name = "Rushies"
local Level = Instance.new("IntValue")
Level.Name = "Level"
local Exp = Instance.new("IntValue")
Exp.Name = "Exp"
local MaxExp = Instance.new("IntValue")
MaxExp.Name = "MaxExp"
local Leaderboard = Instance.new("Folder") -- LEADERSTATS STUFF --
Leaderboard.Name = "leaderstats"
local LeaderboardWins = Instance.new("IntValue")
LeaderboardWins.Name = "Wins"
LeaderboardWins.Value = Gold.Value
local LeaderboardLv = Instance.new("IntValue")
LeaderboardLv.Name = "Lv"
LeaderboardLv.Value = Level.Value
local StatsData = DataStore2("Stats", plr)
local function UpdateAllStats(UpdatedStats)
Gold.Value = DataStore2(MainKey, plr):GetTable(UpdatedStats)["Stats"]["Gold"] -- Sets value you've made to correspond with data table
Silver.Value = DataStore2(MainKey, plr):GetTable(UpdatedStats)["Stats"]["Silver"]
Bronze.Value = DataStore2(MainKey, plr):GetTable(UpdatedStats)["Stats"]["Bronze"]
Rushies.Value = DataStore2(MainKey, plr):GetTable(UpdatedStats)["Stats"]["Rushies"]
Level.Value = DataStore2(MainKey, plr):GetTable(UpdatedStats)["Stats"]["Level"]
Exp.Value = DataStore2(MainKey, plr):GetTable(UpdatedStats)["Stats"]["Exp"]
MaxExp.Value = DataStore2(MainKey, plr):GetTable(UpdatedStats)["Stats"]["MaxExp"]
end
UpdateAllStats(PlayerData.Stats) -- Calls the function and updates player data to appropriate values
DataStore2(MainKey, plr):OnUpdate(UpdateAllStats) -- Calls when updated
Folder.Parent = plr
Gold.Parent = Folder
Silver.Parent = Folder
Bronze.Parent = Folder
Rushies.Parent = Folder
Level.Parent = Folder
Exp.Parent = Folder
MaxExp.Parent = Folder
Leaderboard.Parent = plr
LeaderboardWins.Parent = Leaderboard
LeaderboardLv.Parent = Leaderboard
local function UpdateLeaderstats()
LeaderboardWins.Value = Gold.Value
LeaderboardLv.Value = Level.Value
end
Level.Changed:Connect(UpdateLeaderstats)
Gold.Changed:Connect(UpdateLeaderstats)
Exp.Changed:Connect(function()
if plr.Stats.Exp.Value >= plr.Stats.MaxExp.Value then
Level.Value = Level.Value + 1
Exp.Value = 0
plr.Stats.MaxExp.Value = plr.Stats.MaxExp.Value+50
end
end)
end)
Touched Part Script:
local DataStore2 = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService").DataStore2)
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local vals = game.ReplicatedStorage.vals
local Part = script.Parent.Parent.SecondPart
local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local GainXP = math.random(40, 50)
local GainRushies = math.random(45, 50)
if (h~=nil) then
game.ReplicatedStorage.vals.Winner.Value = hit.Parent.Name
local plr = game.Players[vals.Winner.Value]
local plrChar = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
local plrID = plrChar.UserId
local plrStats = DataStore2("Stats", plr):Get()
plrStats.Gold = plrStats.Gold + 1
plrStats.Exp = plrStats.Exp + GainXP
plrStats.Rushies = plrStats.Rushies + GainRushies
DataStore2("Stats", plr):Set(plrStats)
game.ReplicatedStorage.vals.Winner.Value = hit.Parent.Name
game.ReplicatedStorage.vals.Winner.WinnerID.Value = plrID
script.Parent.Parent.StartingPoles.LeftLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
script.Parent.Parent.StartingPoles.LeftLight.PointLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
script.Parent.Parent.StartingPoles.RightLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
script.Parent.Parent.StartingPoles.RightLight.PointLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
script.Parent.Parent.CheckerFlag.BeamPart.Attachment.Beam.Color = ColorSequence.new({
ColorSequenceKeypoint.new(0, Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)),
ColorSequenceKeypoint.new(1, Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255))
}
)
print(plrID)
plr.Character.Parent = workspace
Part.Position = script.Parent.Position
print(game.ReplicatedStorage.vals.Winner.Value)
script.Parent:Destroy()
wait(plr:LoadCharacter())
end
end)
I’ve activated datastorage in roblox studio and already played the published game but nothing worked before anyone asks
