yeah that is pretty disturbing. I would recommend you to already clone the folder to the player when he joins. You have to create the Values and Folders by script or just parent the Folder to the player with following code:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local Clone = game.ServerStorage.EggHatchingData:Clone()
Clone.Parent = player
end)
To save this value you have to add a datastore. Since this takes some time idk:
here is an example script:
--Vars and Services
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("MainDatastore")
--Functions
function formatData(player)
local data = {}
local YourFolder = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local steps = {}
for i,piece in pairs(YourFolder:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(steps, piece.Value)
end
table.insert(data, steps)
return data
end
function saveData(player)
local Key = "Player_"..player.UserId
local stuffToSave = formatData(player)
local succes, err = pcall(function()
if stuffToSave then
DataStore:SetAsync(Key, stuffToSave)
end
end)
if err then
warn('WARNING: COULD NOT SAVE PLAYER DATA: '..err)
end
end
function loadData(player)
--CREATING FOLDERS
local Key = "Player_"..player.UserId
local Board = Instance.new("Folder")
Board.Name = "leaderstats"
Board.Parent = player
local Traveled = Instance.new("IntValue", Board)
Traveled.Name = "Studs"
------------------------------------------------------------
--GETTING PLAYER DATA
local sucess, err = pcall(function()
local data = DataStore:GetAsync(Key)
if data then
if data[1] then
Traveled.Value = data[1][1] -- The first section of the folder, first value: FreeSkips
else
Traveled.Value = 0
end
else -- if data doesn't exist
Traveled.Value = 0
end
end)
if err then
warn('WARNING: COULD NOT LOAD PLAYER DATA: '..err)
end
end
function onServerShutdown()
if game:GetService("RunService"):IsStudio() then
wait(2)
else
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local finished = Instance.new("BindableEvent")
saveData(player) --It's easier to use the previous saveData function on each player than it is to write new code
finished.Event:Wait()
end
end
end
--Binding Events
game:BindToClose(onServerShutdown)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(loadData)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(saveData)
This script saves everything of one specific folder (here called leaderstats). Since your Folder has even more Folder inside it you have to create multiple table for each folder and then save these tables again into 1 WHOLE Table. Then for the load data function you have to define your folders (in this example the Folder is being created by script, you have to locate your folder (:waitforchild(“folder”)), since its not being created by this script. AND THEN, you have to (for every value) what value it should have if there is no data yet (in the script its the load data function)
local sucess, err = pcall(function()
local data = DataStore:GetAsync(Key)
if data then
if data[1] then
Traveled.Value = data[1][1] -- The first section of the folder, first value: FreeSkips
else
Traveled.Value = 0
end
else -- if data doesn't exist
Traveled.Value = 0
end
end)
in this example the value (traveled) gets reset to 0 if no data is existing, else it gets the data of the first folder. Since you parent your Folder you can skip this. You just have to add the Starter Values for the Values by simply changing them all to the Value you want to have if no data exists yet. IF data is existing you have to define which data you want from the table. In the example there is only one folder created and only 1 value is in the folder, so: data[1][1] – The first section of the folder, first value
But if you created (for example) another folder called “a” and a Value inside it, called “b” AND you want the Value of the Value “b” you have to make it like this: data[2][1], since its the second folder being loaded or saved. Same for the values in the specific folders. Second Value in a Folder goes like this:
data[2][2]
…
You see it complicated and i tried my best (with my bad english skills) to explain to you, how to save data with a datastore. Hope this helps a bit!
! Thanks again
